Scooby (new model), Megane RS (when it comes out), Clio 172 Cup and spend the leftovers on beer :D

Interesting article - way too sensible for Evo! Strange how they compare cars costing £13,000 and £21,500 in the same test though - how many people who bought a Cup were also actively considering a Scooby I wonder?

When you turn the rear windows heater on the mirrors get quite warm - just stick your hand out of the windows and see!

You can choose a quieter exhaust if you prefer - the Magnex isnt as loud as the K-Tec item. Its personal choice really. Well see how well this solution works with a Magnex soon....

Yeah we can do a swap for a few circuits - itll remind you what us poor unfortunates with just the stock 170bhp have to put up with! Im doing a lot of hours at my part-time job at the moment getting my mods fund sorted out for next spring! PS - John - I think you just rang - my mobile went...

Ah, in that case the genuinely cheap option comes down to a jack, a wheelbrace and 4 piles of bricks!

Yeah thats what I was thinking. Or, if you want genuinely cheap then get a set of 16" steel wheels off a Laguna.

Post a photo of the car when you receive it Tom - I was thinking of getting one of those aerials.

Theres no such thing as a green Mk2 m8 :confused: Are u sure it wasnt a Mk1 (172 Exclusive - Scarab green I think).

Nor was I - until I tried it for the first time!!

LOL!

It certainly sounds a bargain to me - I had a 1.2 as a courtesy car earlier this week and I enjoyed driving it. Any new car for £7,700 would be ok - but this is a proper one :D

Look on the home page at Articles - Tyre fitment guide its all on there. Dont worry about the acceleration - youll never notice unless youre a quarter mile junkie.

The adverse effect on peformance of bigger wheels has been debated in the past on these very pages. I seem to remember that it would only be noticable if you had some really accurate timing equipment - e.g. a drag strip with timing equipment. I can say for sure though that my car (with 16s) has...

On a race track you dont usually get the chance to test your top speed - for some reason the ones I go to always have lots of curvy bits that slow you down :confused: Even had a go on the main runway at Heyford airbase - not long enough!

I must say Im amazed. Ive lapped Bedford Autodrome (along with many other members) with a V6 on the track and it was a lot faster than me! Mind you, the V6 was being driven by the British F3000 champion. I think you need to be a really good driver to get the best out of the V6 on a track. A 172...
