LOL!

...and the rear seats dont split either...

7 months, 16k miles, and I still sneak a peek out of the window at it, before climbing into bed each night :oops: Great arent they :D Oh, and welcome aboard.

The noise I was referring to was a very slight metallic sounding "clunk" when coming off the throttle in 1st or 2nd gear, whilst rolling in traffic. It was there when the car was delivered from new, so it wasnt abuse that broke it. Talking to Mike172sport who actually arranged the replacements...

Might be an engine mount also. Ive had two so far, with each one curing the slight knocking immediately (until it broke again :confused:).

"Shell do 950 watts front standing" - quality :)

Definitely went for £1,000 + extras as said above. I had to quit at £750 :(

I bid on that when it was auctioned during April...went for £250 more than my limit...but I was soooo tempted to keep going. So, it was CB1A who got it then eh? :devilish:

7 months and 15k on in mine and thats still my (almost) daily routine :cool: If I didnt do that Id still be under 10k :cry:

As I found out at The Esses at Castle Combe yesterday...I was just commenting on how all the other cars with their specialised track-day rubber were going to really struggle in the rain and...woosh...round I went! I was losing approx 10-15 seconds a lap in the wet...but it taught me how to be...

Theres a function within the set-up menu where you can disable the rear speakers over and above any changes to the F/R fade that you might make. I think you press and hold the "SRC" button for a few seconds to get to the menu...you can also change speed sensitivity etc.

Well said that man :D

Its a figure-8 track.

Taking this weight loss to extremes arent you ? ;)

It isnt then? ;)

Thats exactly what I thought but Ive put it down to "character" now too. Sounds ace when going for it :devilish:

Vindication for all the doubters at last :D

You Sir, are a star...:D

Let me know how you get on with the 182...:D

Oooh yeah...go get one now!

Im at Castle Combe on 30/06...is that when youre there? I got a quote from Competition Car Insurance, and for £11,000 cover with £1,100 excess it was £134!!! I know theres a risk, but like Mike says, there can be an awful lot more risk during normal day-to-day driving, so Im not going to...

Im over at Castle Combe on 30/06 which isnt too much of a drive...

33 (nearly 34) :D

Ack! :@

My Cups exactly the same! Feeling bad/guilty? As said before its what theyre designed for...isnt it? The rev limiter is there for a reason, so leave all traces of mechanical sympathy at home and go spread the 172 word :D

I once heard some advice that you should only ever buy a Ferrari, if you can easily afford to buy two. That way you should have enough stashed away to keep it running...:o

Ive got a couple of visible chips on my bonnet now, only through the Mondial Blue, down to the primer. No exposed metal on show. I got a touch up pack from Renault (paint + lacquer) but have never done anything like this before (never given a flying-f*** on any of my cars before). Anyone...

Bit thick here but wheres Tonbridge? Get yourself to Linningtons Portsmouth to have your Cup worked on by Mike172sport himself, and a 10% discount from the £170 (ish) service cost. Depends how far away you are though...?
