finally took the plunge and changed the turinis for something a little different,these wheels seem to get slated for being really heavy but they are not too bad.I weighed a turini with an on the limit(seriously fooked) conti and these were 3kg heavier at 18 with a new proxes T1-R so they are the...
Had a nimbus grey 197 out yesterday as my cup was in for a service and this is my verdict after living with the 197 for around 6hrs,
INTERIOR
The driving position is vastly improved with the fully height and fore/aft adjustable steering wheel,the wheel its self is gorgeous to grasp and a nice...
well the cup was in for it's first test today having covered 15020 miles in a fraction under 3 years and it failed........the problem was not the usual CUP failure of compensating valve nor was it rear foot brake inneficiency but a non working handbrake on the N/S. This is after having the rear...
after my front discs had corroded away to nothing on my 53plate cup 14'000miles I replaced them with brembo HC discs and greenstuff pads, then I thought right the rears are humped also but I don't want to have to replace these out of my pocket as they are expensive.So off I go to the...
well it looks as if my cup may have succumed to the infamous TDC sensor fault, for the last couple of weeks the missus has complained about poor starting and complete refusals to start when she was going to work/lunchtimes etc. To be honest I never really bothered as it had never happened to me...
my 53 plate cup has only covered 14000 miles and I still have 2yrs warranty left as I was given the full 3yr warranty when I bought it 1 year ago having only covered 7500 from new. The thing is all four discs are badly corroded!! the fronts only on the inside so I never noticed until I had the...
the reason I ask is that I have bought a spare ecu, supposed to be from a cup and the front (flat side) is black, but all other ph2 ecu's that I have seen pics of are silver!! yet the ph1's that I have seen were black!!! I hope I have not got myself a turkey.
cheers
How much induction roar do vipers give on small to part throttle opening? I wouldn't mind trying one but I would prefer for it to be fairly low key under normal pootling about driving.
cheers.
I am planning 1 of these to go along with my ITG panel and a k-tec stealth system, has anyone else got this setup? and if so what gains were noticed? (if any lol) response/midrange torque etc..... any info would be most appreciated, cheers
first pic posted, had it since maybe august 2005. I fitted apex -40 @ the weekend and an ITG panel filter also threw on my temporary 17's while I give the turinis a damn good scrub. I was surprised that these don't rub at all!! on full lock or big bumps cos they are ET35 7x17 205/40.
I only picked up my 8000 mile 172 cup on saturday (well delighted) but I have been browsing this forum for a few weeks as I knew I was buying this car, I have seen several threads regarding the engine mount knocking in low gears, accelerating, decelerating etc and guess what I have a knock...
Hi, do you guys notice a performance drop considering the slightly larger diameter? I am considering going for the much more expensive option of 195/40 but if the difference is tiny I would go for the 205/40.
comments welcome guys.
