nice cars back in the day! you see ph2 1.6 16v's popping up for not much over a grand though, that would be a better upgrade being newer

GT in this country only came with the 1.6 petrol engine it was the rest of europe that got the choice of that or the 2.0 138hp engine. i always thought the petrol GT had the same 6 speed box as the diesel GT? which is a 200 box? i found it brilliant, in both my GT and 200, although the GT had...

they are awesome, bit soft suspension wise, the GT handles and rides much better but the engine is a cracker, my mate has one remapped runs around 125-130bhp and its very torquey for a small engine petrol, catch the 200 off guaurd in the wrong gear and i need to work very hard to keep up! the...

go diesel, seriously! they are so far pretty solid, no common faults that i can really think of maby other than high level brake lights failing, and binding rear brakes sometimes. other than that no issues (on the diesel anyay) cruise control was standard, look out for bluetooth handsfree...

you have no idea!

depends how much space you need, how much are you currently using on your 600gb one? and how much of it is old crap you dont need? ive got a 60GB SSD in my laptop and only use 20GB of it but i dont use it for much other than web browsing and office etc. my HTPC has a 80GB SSD and i only use...

yeah i suppose its maby handy for ejits with no car control. personally i would rather have the option to permenantly remove it. saves me pushing a button every time i get in the car

i never have a spirited drive with it on as its tried to throw me through a bush a few times!

cool maby get one for my dci!

does the cruise control buttons work too?

awesome thread! keeping an eye on this!

i see you drive an R32 GTR deek? I asume you stay in or near Stirling?, not the red one that goes about by any chance is it?

did the guy deserve a slap about - yes was the cop the correct person to be dishing it out - no, not when hes on duty and in his uniform!!

i thought you were my mate? c**t!

my last one was a 100 @ 130 this ones staying standard, its just about cheap as chips motoring lol i would have got an 80 or 100 if i was planning power but i knew id get carried away so at least im now held back by my injectors :P

ive just bought a dci65 on 64k as a mile muncher massive MPG bus!

my mate paid £700 for one 6 months ago, he done 20k and he sold it for £800, but it was a proper f**king shed lol never cost a penny other than a pair of tyres and oil change lol! had done 200k or there abouts and would still do 65mpg most days lol

ahh do you not have a fitting kit on the manifold to cat join? thats whats caused your issue then, as i said above with the engine mount suggestion it looked to me as if it had been pulled apart suggesting worn mounts but no spring loaded joint would cause this too

i agree, looks like the suspension is broken!, i like coilovers but i like them at a sensible height for handling, i done the whole slammed on coilover thing when i was 17 and after bump skipping through a bush backwords a few times, i started going for sensible height lol

any decent garage will be able to weld that back up for you. id check your engine mounts too as its possbly worn mounts thats contributed to it braking, although there has been an obvious weak point to being with

there was a lovely chap from stirling with a 172 cup on here a few months ago lol!!! if you search the spotted section for "stirling" you will find the thread!

the 2.0 138 will do 40mpg on a good motorway run at 70mph where the 2.0 200 will do 28mpg - however a remapped 1.2 tce with 130hp will do 50mpg

any in car videos?

you wont get 200lbft from a remap on a dci80, not a chance, clutch wont take it either!

i was around that at 19 on my 172, its living in scotland, less thieving scum = cheaper insurance

wish it was mine.

lol u wont get 200lbft from a dci80! more like 170lbft id buy an 86, they are awesome cars!

1.2 tce

just that bit stiffer and sharper, remember a non cup pack 182 will still handle on par if not better than a standard 172 and you never saw any of us moaning about them back in the day!!

of course you dont have to heel and toe it on your daily drive to the shops, im talking about performance driving, its part of owning a performance car, you wouldnt be driving to the shift beep when the engines stone cold, or hammering it over speed bumps, or wheelspinning everywhere as its not...
