Good vids! was impressed by the driving! exhaust sounds v nice!

Computer was showing 37mpg when I calculated 39, unusual as the 172 computer seemed to be always optimistic. Just to check im doing it right - was dividing the litres by 4.54 to give me gallons. Then dividing the mileage by the fuel (in gallons) that I used. Cheers Nick

Sorry if this has been done to death - but im so impressed with the economy of my 182! When I had the 197 I never saw over 28mpg (which I wasnt too disappointed with) But after bringing the clio back from North Wales to Leeds when i bought it a few weeks back, it averaged 39mpg which was mainly...

Ah doh! when was this?! its just on my door step!

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Thats awesome - you really do have some patience - good read and looking forward to seeing it finished!

Looks good - make sure you dont trip up over that exhaust though!

I wish I could too haha. Its the 4th one this year! oops!

I didnt get on with the CTR so swapped it for this one :) am well pleased with it!

Its done the job! :D was slightly worried about the results when I saw how much it filled the car up! haha

Recently bought this clio 182, ive been slowly getting it up to my standard! Last weekend was claying it and giving it a good wax, then after doing a thorough interior clean I found it still smelt of stale smoke inside from the previous owner. So took it down to my friends valeting company today...

Get the clio - I had an r27, was possibly the best car Ive owned.

I agree mostly - find that the climate control is more fiddly then just having a dial (find you have to look at the screen which is a bit dodgy when your driving). The auto wipers seem to work ok - not always doing exactly what you want but not far off! The xenons however I feel are great -...

A bit delayed - but here are the pics I took at Trax... http://www.flickr.com/photos/playtoymotorsport/sets/72157607613213873/ Nick

Nice work! funny seeing my old car!

and some more pics...

I seem to be changing a lot recently - need to keep this one as its the 4th this year! Ive gone for a 182 this time - loving it! Its a 55 plate with 26 k on the clock, planning on a ktec splitter and possibly a milltek exhaust.

Was this a black 182? if so it could be the one I have just bought :D

Which tyre had low pressure? lower pressures usually give you more grip to a point! if the front were lower than the back this could cause the back end to be more lively.

Rear struts ok? from experience when they fail the back end becomes very twitchy!

Id say it would depend on the size of the drivers cahoona's

Iv'e had 2 and just bought a 3rd 2002 172 2007 197 F1 2005 182 with Cup Packs

After having a 172, then a 197 f1, followed by a civic type r ive gone back to a 182! Car is a 55 plate black 182 with both cup packs - (although not sure what makes up both cup packs?) 25k miles :) Cant wait to pick it up!

Cheers - im using a nikon d80 with a nikon 70 - 200 lense (f4.5) would like a better lens but money is not permitting at the mo! :(

Here are some pics I took of my mates Fiesta ST :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/playtoymotorsport/sets/72157607062733285/ Think it looks pretty well myself!

Here are some shots I took at Harewood on the bank holiday weekend :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/playtoymotorsport/sets/72157607060255094/ Nick

Didnt you buy my braided hoses?

Saw a 182 Cup in Inferno orange parked outside Halfords yest in Seacroft near Leeds - nice car!

Saw a nice looking black 172 (with 1.2 badges) pretty sure it was a 172 anyway parked outside halfords. Think it was lowered and it had a front splitter Looked good!

My mate put GAZ coilovers on his 172 PH1 and to be honest it made the car rubbish on back roads, maybe they needed setting up properly though. He ended up selling the car before setting them up.

I didnt rate my Apex springs - good if you want it to look low but handling on anything but perfectly smooth road I found to be horrendous
