Thats the one.......I assume if your ECU sees a high temp in your 'box it kills your performance so it can cool down and gives you a polite 'get this checked out'. So far, as its an intermittent fault I'm erring toward a dodgy sensor.......

Looking for some advice/ideas please guys: Had my car go into limp mode twice in the last two days whilst driving, both times engine was warm, and when changing throttle position. Once was when coming off the throttle and the other time was whilst accelerating. I had not driven the car for the...

+1 Mine is running a Ktec stealth exhaust.......so most of the noise I hear is from that.......motorway revs are high-ish..... .....I dont seem to notice road noise particulary......my drivers wingmirror whistles slightly tho.....and the ride is pretty harsh ftw (standard spgs+damps)

Ohhh yes! It is the future!!

Oh that might have been me :rasp: I'd spotted you at the big sixfields roundabout, going a tad briskly.....thought I'd catch you up, was being a bit slow as I had a boot full of the weekly food shopping and my gf in the car! What is your car sitting on, the ride height you've got looked...

Does the noise you get sound like a rattling or is it more like a can of spanners being shaken hard..... My Ktec baffles sounded really bad until I replaced the centre section. Have a look at my old thread, some good suggestions from others and might be helpfull...

No worries, will have to have a look into coilovers then......am looking for handling, not just low, so short springs will never be as good as uprated springs and dampers.....but I guess it comes down to is cost..... Do you plan to own any more Mk2s RSs (172/182s) or is the addiction now over? ;)

+1 My sis's saxo had something similar to this, tin-ie rattle mid-way up the revs.....was the welds on the heat shield Had a similar louder rattle on mine, turned out to be the centre section's baffles which had come loose inside it......was a Mk1 Ktec Stealth system though. Try getting...

I love the stance of your 'wolf in sheeps clothing' 172 FF.......may I ask what its sitting on.......coilies or short springs.......and what was it like to drive with that drop? Is it driveable day to day etc? I told myself I wouldnt drop the suspension too much on my cup, but the more I see...

I like the green too, I'm doing the same kind of thing with yellow front diamond, and yellow centre cap diamonds (when I get some) also prob going for silver bullets on mine with 2.0 in yellow and the 16v in white to tie all the different bits together.......good stuff! personally never been...

I've just had sorted a fairly major issue with my front discs which might help some people regarding tight fitting pads and squeal: (not a set from K-tec I might add, standard discs/pads from local motorfactors) Fitted new Discs and Pads end of november.......discs went on fine however the...

If thats the case......then my clio......well, its the only gay in the village!! :rasp:

Back to the thread, personally the brown euro'd one is not to my tastes......

+1 and still do (and keep my Cup mind) lovely little well built cars imo! Rub a dub dub :rasp:

Parked up, in (??) Artic Silver (w/ hint of blue). Lunchtime today......

When I started looking for a 172 I test drove a flame red Mk2 Ph1.......gorgeous colour......the Ph2 is lovely in that colour too.... They're approx 90kgs to heavy for me tho and I realised I wanted a Cup ;) ;) silly air-con etc lol (although I curse, out of earshot of my car obviously, in the...

Mine tells me OIL OK in the trip meter/mileage display when I've started the car...... or OIL ------- if it is low, as MrMark says..... Try turning the ignition on to the second stop, (so all the test lights come on etc) it should do the check then too and display as above (assuming you have it...

I bought some new speedlines in white direct from Speedline Corse last monday (which have blue painted stamped logos on either side of the alloy), and have fitted the supplied centre caps until I get some Renault diamond ones to fit......will try fitting one of my old silver ones one evening...

I think thats just the exposure in the low light.....took these at 5pm this evening in a forest. Will have to take some more in better conditions! I'm running Osram 'Nightbreaker +80%' dipped beam, full beam, and then Osram cool blue sidelight bulbs........they look fairly white in real life...

Finally got some pics.......

Bit of an update...... Its been developed apparently, little pricey tho for the wi-fi setup: http://www.obd-ii.de/kabelec.html Then all you'll need is the £25 'Rev' application for the iPhone or iPod touch! I'm assuming you could also connect a laptop, via the wi-fi, and use the software...

They're now on the car, pics tomorrow!!! Minty indeed.....

Got 4 of these today: Will be added to tires and fitted tomorrow or Sat morning!!

Are the Cups rear dampers different to the Full Fat variants of the 172/182? or is the only difference in springs? I have been advised the o/s rear shock on my car has a small amount of oil leaking from it.......

Thankyou, I tip my hat to you Sir.

White 2120 Turinis ordered direct from Speedline Corse, always good when you chat to the nice people on their stand at the Autocar show and blag yourself some discount in advance!! Have gone for the 35mm offset, is a fraction wider track than the 38mm standard Cup ones, although the difference...

Had a look at these couple of weeks ago, bearings do not come pressed in apparently, but will prob buy a set and fit them before or on the day of my MOT at the end of the month. Not sure on (and I'm sure someone will kindly correct me) whether its just the Cup or all the RS's that have a poor...

Oh, forgot to mention, rear seats to be removed.......and a front strut brace as I've heard the rear one does diddley squat...... See wanted marketplace some time soon for my wish list :rasp:

Hmm, think its the sportlines I was going to be looking at......not that fussed in a massive drop tbh, just handling.....I dont do low low......although I do have an 'I "heart" speedbumps' sticker for sh!ts and giggles...... 195 are on my car at the moment and I though that was standard fit...

To be fair, my best mate works at pistonheads (Mr Will), manages the IT, usually does the pic of the week, and manages the classifieds section.........and this year I'll be going on loads of PH trackdays/meets/Le Mans trips..... .....so I think the Logos are quite appropriate and only a bit of...
