common problem with the number plate light apparently, i just left mine disconnected. Not sure abot the fog light? maybe clean up the contacts on the multiplug, and get some w40 in there
2 :cool:
one in racing blue on the a49 near the m56 (junction 10), and an artic blue on the m56 turning off for lymm
must say they look STUNNING in the flesh, so squat and wide, very impressive, ALOT more road presence than the 172/182
fekken awsome:evil:
the cloth versions are poor imo, thats why i got rid of my daytonas, (also movement and squeeking in the subframes) very cheap feeling and looking
recaros are where its at ;)
better than standard, and i mean ALOT better. Trouble with the cobras is the subframes are very untidy and poor looking imo, (poor welds and no solution to hiding the pretentioners etc) The recaro's look oem. That said the misanos look superb (in leather especially :))
no, i reckon driving style. I have NEVER blown a car or gearbox..... (so far lol ;)). Thats 2 novas (1.2, 1.4) :o, punto sporting (satandard), punto turbo (170 bhp) and the cup to date............
like i've said previously, they were all driven hard once warm, its all about being sympatheic...
more rubber in contact with the road that can lead to aquaplaining (sp)
I'd stick with 195's tbh, especaially if lowered, as they will catch/rub. 182's have the different offset to compensate this
i meant the caster is different on a cup from normal a 172.... (that cant be changed as you say)
also i'm not sure the rears can be adjusted at all, most cars are like this?
its called mechanical sympathy..........
i drive my 172 pretty hard imo.... (see the shift light most mights lol) and never had any problems. Keep them serviced, no worries imo
i know the castor angles are different on the cup, and i was under the impression the toe settings were different too, i'm sure edde will know
whats the tread depth like on the front tyres?, i found when mine are low, mine too feels more nervous and 'tramlines' more (follows the road camber etc)
it'll blow up...... nah, its just brought on the emmissions light but runs fine. It only stops fuel vapours espacing into the atmoshere (pollution etc) it just dumps them into the inlet whilst on idle and cruise. I will get it replaced eventually, its the solinoid that gets noisy
try these, cheaper than reanult apparently, then just get kwickfit to swap them over etc, but it is very easy on a 182. Try it yourself?
