Cheers guys, its a std full fat 172. Considering that id changed the brakes during the lunch break and my tyres were bald i think i did alright.
Anyone notice the arse out on the 2nd lap through thr chicane?
Thanks for the entertaining day on Wednesday, certainly will be going on many more in the future.
I was just after a rough idea on when we are likely to recieve the CD with the photos on. I know Roamer said he would be preparing the pix this week and wondered if you had any timescales...
I found Ultimate made the 172 really lumpy at tickover and 95 was fine but lost the surge at around 5K. Always stick to Optimuck, if only for the cleaning and better MPG
Will be editing and posting some vids of 2 laps of Lee and my burro hacking it round, and then a few laps of my burro and cup schooling some V6s and 182s in the art of fast driving
Ok, some pics of the TimmyTuning crew

As i said in the other thread, ill try and do it sunday. Its a 2 good laps of you in front, and on the second one including me swinging the arse out at the 2nd chicane.
I can send it to you on yousendit, but i cant host it.
All down to driver skill. From experience at the ring, in the corners the lighter clio would have a slight edge, but up the inclines the v6 has the grunt to push it up where the throphy would struggle a little (against the Vee).
Remember this auction is to purchase your dream car….
Lol, and all along i thought it would be something more exotic.
Make you wonder if the 182 would get 200 from the same mods.....
Search around, loads of cheap Mk1 & 2 172s. Sounded like a right dog, curbed all 4 wheels, thats just fcukin careless and you have to wonder what else he didnt take car of.
The New ST was testing at the ring while we were there 2 weeks ago. Looked pretty good, think i may have either a pic or vid footage of it doing the Karousell at home.
Could be the immobiliser? If its turning over, but not catching it could be a number of things. They should tow you to the dealership and get it diagnosed
Wouldnt a decent set of coilovers get you somewhere near the trophys handling? Obviously im not suggesting that by slapping on COs its going to be better, but isnt it a practical upgrade without resorting to a trade in?
Your right, I didnt see you. lol
Looking forward to tomorrow? Should be a laugh, think james (munday) is travelling up from the oxford area if you want to meet up at one of the services.
