I dont mind when "lesser models" try it on myself. It gives me a chance to win PROPERLY!

I preferred the handling in my MK2 172, and much prefer the handling in the Williams. Bar the 3mm lowering of the Cup (Im thinking of 30mm on Eibach springs for mine) and some 16" wheels, what else do I need to do to copy the 172 Cups suspension set up? Oh yes, is it something that can be done...

:( Okay.....its Sunflower. Ill get me coat.... :(

Or is that a girly powder blue tint like the Poo-06s have.....!

Anyone with a Cup got some AP22 data that I can look at please? Or anyone with a Cup near Sheffield want to pop out to the Dronfield bypass where there is a perfect section to do a couple of runs? Cheers, Rhys

Doesnt GeordiePaul have exactly that set up? Iceberg MK2 on Turinis?

Durrrr.....the right answer is that TITANIUM silver is the best: http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1055868329__172_rtchd_01_640.jpg

lol :oops: Pics on the way!

Muahahahahabuggeroffpaddyhahahahaha ;)

Or you could say "look at the 14.7 second saxo unable to pull away from the 172" Muhahahahahahaha yourself ;)

Just out of interest, where did you find it? Was it on another forum?

Craggys car runs 14.7 1/4 mile and my 172 will do 60 in 6.6, so neck and neck is fine by me!

Apart from Adi ;)

The 172 clocks are 100% perfect. Okay, 99.9%! When driving at any speed on the speedo, the GPS unit agrees within a few 1/100ths of a MPH. Not done a 100 run yet. I know what you mean about the AP22 updating the speed. Im not sure about the 172, but I calibrated for the Williams to be about...

And an AP22 run to 60mph... The times were: Williams (Red) - 7.38 172 MK1 (Green) - 6.62 http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1055780571__172_vs_williams_02.jpg

Sure thing, although it might be worth remembering that a bloke died last night going round that hard sweeping left before it drops down the big at the top of where we were doing AP22 runs. Paper said that he hit the barrier at "considerable speed" and ended up on his roof in the oncoming...

Viv - thanks, but Ive got a MK1 172 so Ive already got a set of 15" wheels. I was thinking about changing them to 16" wheels as I prefered the handling in the MK2 172 to the MK1 and have a feeling that its just down to the slightly larger wheels on a MK2. Understeer kicks in a bit to early on...

Cor, look at all you MK2 owners discussing your balls. Honestly.....tut....;)

Eh? WTF? Im only 26, its not time for a midlife crisis yet!

Yup, very easy indeed. Just keep some new gaskets and exhaust sealant kicking around so you can do it whenever you need/want to.

Ive had one on my Williams pretty much since I got it, and put the cat on a few times for comparison. Its a bit quicker with the decat pipe, but noisier. Engine feels a bit freer flowing with the decat. Revs that bit better. Id recommend it. Rhys

Someone on here recently said they got an good part ex on their Williams from an internet importers towards a 172. Have a search for the thread.

Si - Ask Paul16v what hes doing with his engine. Hes always going on about putting a 2 litre lump in his Valver, so you might be able to get first refusal on his engine?

Look here for their website: http://www.gsfcarparts.com/http://www.gsfcarparts.com/

Hmmm.....7 to 110 then 14 to 120....thats odd. 4th gear is mental on the MK1 172 - 110 to 120 seems to take no time at all. 7 seconds is ages! In fact acceleration from 80mph in 5th seems very strong too. Will try it with AP22 and with stop watch later on. Jon - did you time your 80-120...

£550!?!?!?! WTF! How could it cost that much???? The car has nearly 25k on the clock, so a way to go yet before the 36k service. It does have an alloy spare too. I wouldnt be exaggerating to say that the car is in 100% mint condition. It looks like its not been used for three years. Interior...

Something like these: http://www.rs-team.org/Images/Album/Divers/Klissos/k8.jpghttp://www.rs-team.org/Images/Album/Divers/Klissos/k8.jpg But with less bleached hair... http://www.rs-team.org/Images/Album/Divers/Klissos/k5.jpg

Something like that. Theres a picture of a black 172 (i think? will look for it) with some dark OZ wheels somewhere

Am I right in thinking it is the F1 Cup OZ wheels that the MK1 172 comes with? Are they available in a 16" size? Anyone have any for sale or know how much theyd cost?
