Could look nice if it's on dark wheels.

Having owned both, I'd rather a ph2 172 than a 182. No difference in speed, the exhaust costs less when (not if) it falls off, you get a spare wheel, and 35mpg v 32mpg. And far nicer colour range.

Easy solution. Have a look in the footwell, should be 3 rectangular plates attached to arms. The one on the right, be gentle with it;).

c**t of a corner, I got a passenger ride from a Jag test/development driver and he was struggling there. Burp suggested trying 3rd gear, going to give it a whirl next time.

Where are you going for the track day?

Why not? Ph1 172's and early ph2's didn't have it. It's only 165ish bhp, not really needed.

Pain in the arse at Bedford, especially at the first hairpin and the left leading onto the straight.

Ph1 has cable throttle, ph2 has fbw.

Scarab green

Throttle response is better in the ph1, no doubt. And it's immediately noticeable. Have you owned a 182? Or just the Trophy?

Don't forget they are lighter as well.

Ph1's are slightly quicker in my experience, most likely a poorly one.

You can get the wheel retrimmed in leather cheap. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=395478&highlight=wheel+retrim+leather I prefer ph1's, more fun imo.

c**t. xx

No offence intended, but it looks very chav imo. The colour scheme is wrong, the wheels are wrong. Would look awful on a 197 as well.

Trying to organise a trip up to casa-jew soon, have to have a pint if you're aboot.

The average petrol head would have a pants-explosion at a Vee and Gee in convoy. Stunning. Good pics. For a Jew.

Mk1's do suffer next to the mk2's. Nice example though.

Soft as they go on the front, then play with the back. On track i went full hard on the rear but still max soft on the front.

You won't get 5.7 out of the ek9, iirc that time was set using one of the super stripped versions, not the standard road car. And they are pretty old. Depends what you want really, meg 225?

If you want them just stick 172 hubs on.

Fancy starting a magazine? They just print what we say.

It's the constant evolution that's impressive. The Meg started out ordinary, but the R26 was outstanding.

I didn't declare brake pads/discs. I don't declare if I change my tyres,so why brakes?

Aren't uprated bits pretty much the same price?

Good review/write up. I never a big fan of the 197, not quick enough or fun enough IMO. Every head to head review with the Trophy I read agreed with this (Evo, PC mag) and the Trophy was slightly quicker around Bedford (same driver same day). Looks like the 200 blows them both away. 10mph...

It's a really good unit, big too. Roof is supported by 4 bricks though.

Get a Type R Elise. Work that tan.

I've not had ITB's, but can't help noticing that a lot of cars have them, get finished, then get sold.

Thats £360 extra over 2 years for the iphone. Just buy a 3g and get it unlocked? At least you're not then tied in.
