You can pay between 16k and 22k for a good ph2.

My gear changes are rough when the engine is cold.

Some little c*nt egged my car while I was at my mates (he lives on a dodgy estate) and I didn't notice til a day later and it took ages to get the shell and the solidified egg white off :( never been properly vandalised *touches head as theres no wood around*

Following on from my PC thread. I've bought a PC and poor boys 1 2 2.5 and 3. Which is the best clay bar and wax to use?

Decent exhausts are only loud when your accelerating. Once you get to 70mph and whack your cruise control on it will be alright. Jesske - can I have one of your cars please?

This looks good for a motorola http://www.mobile-review.com/review/motorola-z8-en.shtml

Jeez just spent a fair whack on cleaning stuff. Does anyone want to let me know how to apply the products and in what order? Do I have to do any prepping apart from obviously washing the car to get rid of loose dirt etc.

Cheers gaz :) This any good: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/POORBOYS-WORLD-SSR-SWIRL-REMOVER-KIT-APPLICATOR-PADS_W0QQitemZ8055749886QQihZ019QQcategoryZ72201QQcmdZViewItem

I really need a crash course in what the hell most of those products are lol. They only have poorboys SSR 2.5.

Cheers mate, just took the plunge and bought it. Just need to spend about 70 quid on products now lol. Any advice on which polish, sealant, wax etc to get??

good plan batman!

Can you get a PC in the UK? Or do you have to buy from america and get a transformer and adapter?? Cheers PS if anyone has one for sale let me know!!

Lower it. Looks way to high

I'm getting GDI system and janspeed decat. Got the GDI system for 315 cos I got on the group buy :)

I reversed over a rock a few weeks ago and it's scuffed and cracked the underneath of my splitter. Is this repairable? I was thinking of taking it to a body shop maybe they could sand it and spray it black to cover it up or something?

Depends how long the bypass was as to whether 8 car lengths is far. Z3M roadster would wipe the floor with a 172. Even with early gear changes it would still win without trying

Very nice. The 197 is growing on me loads now. Lower it 60mm and whack on some white 18" turinis :)

Torque figures always play a massive part in how a car "feels" quicker. My mate has an astra SRI turbo which feels faster than my 172, but in reality they are the same 0-60 From what I've heard I should have 195 bhp + with the cams etc which is good and would beat a std cooper s with ease.

It's hard to get much more in terms of performance out of a NA car unless you have thousands to spend (literally). Things like better suspension and brakes allow you to go faster anyway. I'm in the process of tuning my 172 FF at the mo, I'm getting an exhaust, decat, cams, remap, modified...

The supercharged one. We both think the turbo looks ghey!! Yeah one of my mates took his cooper s to GTT and spent about 1000, and now has 229 horses :( I think the cooper s sounds gash standard though, I hate the noise of the supercharger.

the front badge comes off easily :) mines black: http://s158.photobucket.com/albums/t106/ste_172/?action=view&current=P1010108.jpg

Just buy the real thing :)

My first car was a 1.2 RN and had an eye watering 60bhp haha. It was crap knowing I had one of the slowest cars on the road

F**kin hell. Some people are right tw@ts

Honestly? So I should have around 200bhp when I've sorted those mods. Thats alright!

I reckon probably 190 bhp with those mods which isn't too shabby. I hope she doesn't tune the cooper s :( lol

Ok, so my 172, soon to have decat, exhaust, cams, remap, BMC CDA with CAF, just wondering would it beat a std cooper s in a straight line?? My missus is getting a cooper s and I wanna know I could beat her if we had a little tussle lol!!

lookin sweet. Where did mark get his PC from?

the pipe between the cat and the back box has corroded and the back box has literally fallen off. Is it unsafe to drive? I don't need to go long distances, only about 8 miles a day, so just wondering if I drive sensibly is it effecting my car? Seems ok apart from the ridiculous noise it...

Can see what she's saying though. I'd rather crash at 50mph in a car then on a bike. If you have 7k in your bank and you want to use some to increase low down torque, get cams, remap, BMC CDA with CAF, decat and aftermarket exhaust. It's just expensive stuff tbh. Or if you want to go crazy...
