Anyone...? Theyre destined for track use only, cause Im fed up with not being able to spot myself amongst 10 other blue MK2s in pics from RS trackdays. I thought these would make it a little easier. Now Im not so sure... http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y260/MarkCup/100_3442.jpg

Buy the oil over the service counter before you book your car in, then tell them to use what youve bought. Its much cheaper that way, saves me about £25 every time :D

Oooooooooh......interesting...... (I promised myself Id never touch the standard setup :devilish:)

Boo hiss...

Ive had the 3rd to 4th or 4th to 3rd problem a few times too. Having a play around with the gearbox I think its down to 3rd and 4th not being in line with each other... 1 3 5 |_/_| | | 2 4 Thats how my gearbox feels...once out of 4th, its not straight into 3rd, but off at a slight angle...

Any excuse to post a pic eh? Looking very nice though :D

35 in a 53 reg 172 Cup.

Very expensive! Remote oil resevoir meaning the damping rod can be thicker and therefore much stiffer...cost 10x standard units apparently.

Yep...on the road theres f**k all in it.

Ask Nik or Ian (Blink172) about side by side drags...full fat 172 versus 172 Cup. Time after time, up the airfield strip, I cleanly and comfortably pulled away from them - not talking 10 lengths up the 1/4 - but comfortably all the same. Nik swore that next time...hed have his car stripped...

LMAO at the VAG TT being in this thread :D

Yeah right ^^^ LOL - in fact, Im gonna carry two extra fat people around with me from now on, just to try to recreate the full-fat 172 experience ;)

Welcome - youll get used to us all in good time Im sure...:devilish:

...dont get me started...:devilish:

LMAO ;)

^^^ Aye...why the 17s?

Mines just like that...only its in front of the tweeter. No e-mail for me :(

^^^ Buy it from Has - I did - top bloke :D Ill mail a pic over to you this evening.

Ive got a pic of mine on the right by the tweeter...cant host it though. Whats your e-mail addy?

Mine stuttered and idled roughly on the two occassions I put 95 in it...making smooth progress in stop-start traffic was a right pain in the arse. If its like that at tickover...it cant be doing too much good at 7500rpm...can it?

Cup - the 90kgs saving makes a LOT of difference.

Turning the ignition on and off four times quickly in succession, followed by locking and arming with the plip will enable the alarm, but deactivate the ultrasonics. This normally gives me four beeps, but I occassionally get three :confused:

I like F29/R33 - but then I do like spending a lot of time looking out of the side window ;)

I thought auto-wipers, along with auto-lights, and cruise control were one of the "must have" accessories? Thats what all the full fat owners say while calling me a pauper anyway :devilish: Are the auto-wipers a pile of sh*te then?

LMAO :D

Wickham as in Hants.? If it is, was it heavily modded? If it was, it definitely used to be on here...craigy172 I think.

Grippy ones on the front, crap ones on the back, simple - understeer is bad, I prefer the options available from oversteer Crap back tyres = lift-off-oversteer-heaven...and with 539s not snappy in the slightest, in fact, very progressive, and easily controllable. [Edited by MarkCup on 16...

Cant heel & toe comfortably from the passengers side :devilish:

Its already where Id need it though...NSF... I think Ill give up on this...

^^^ errr...OS? Not really getting anywhere with this am I LOL Am I resigned to having to take 3 crates of beer with me to each trackday, so that I can stuff them in my passenger footwell to get the corner weights right? TBH, Im so comfortable/dialled into my tyre pressures et al, that I...
