better than that. Only 0.3 secs. behind the earlier Golf R32. Autocar still has it faster than the new 197PS GTI. These were not cheap versions people feel are "best" (172 Cuo). Autocar actually does REAL TESTING.
Just enjoy. £25K against £15K. Enjoy for all it's worth
KMilllard,
That's cool mate. You DID quote me. You choose to do so, quote me NOT for some other persons comments.
After all, a nightmare for all to see!!!!!
Why would anyone ruin the handling/abilities of a car that will outstrip a trophy on a track??? Looks are for the lower lives? Looks are for chavs, not real drivers.
pistonheads is the place to ne
Sorry. the car is terrible. People's tastes will always be commented on. Especially when they ask!!! The bonnet is a stickon. The wheels are laughable.
If any sane individual looked at that going down the road??? Comments would be as posted. As for 1.2 vs 1*2 owners. Another numpty...
For the obvious impact that is fantastic, screen, door jams and passenger cell look great. A walk away. That is a write off but at the speed this car was travelling I doubt much would not be
Imagine that in a Saxo VTS, 106 GTI, or even a freelander (renowned as a sake car because they are...
Parkers private & poor condition, i.e. high miler £1080. This numpty has alreay shed most of it by this "kit, wheels", realistically £500, Why won't people understand by doing such sh!te you LOWER the value??
Just listen to the others. Over £1K overpriced. Your financial input is never recognised in the output.
As stated without putting it back to standard, then selling the extras, you will never benefit from the huge amounts paid out.
Always the same, huge money spent on mods. No decernable...
mccabe172 " Hello pal I ve just bought a 172 mark 2 and burnt of some bmw drive in a 320 this morning should have seen his face!!"
Oh my, shouldn't you look for something that's easy meat. OMG less power and a s**t load more weight. Look to a 330 (not newest model)
If no paper, then a big NO. It says it's had various fitments from "Williams", not a transplant. I'd be running away TBH. No matter what the cost. If anything is wrong you are facing HUGE bills. Numpties putting varying, and non standard parts is a huge worry. It's not been done properly...
There is no rarity. Don't forget the 182 Cup/ped versions had a longer wheelbase and better hubs. Your suspension was bettered by the latter vehicle.
This better drive is another lower owners perception of car ownership. How can it be when the car was moved forwards with the later versions...
FFS sake the diffuser does it's job in the rear sucking the rear end down. What's the peoples idea of higher top end. Look at a Caterham, it will loose any higher powered hot hatch yet have a top speed of 115. This is the BASIC version.
Some seem to have the basic princlples sorted. FFS...
Baldy, thank god for that.
Shame some people have no idea whatsoever. EG why would CC weigh more that air con. Same unit, just a different control unit. Does anyone think Renault do differing looms for all models. Duh, no. they leave the unneeded unconnected. At worst a few grams for the...
182 cup was a cheap variant, given there was a a better model available before anyway. A 20 kg advantage with the losses means a lower car and something you will always thinkabout & regret. The 182 with Cup packs gives the same chassis/suspension/wheels, but with are far better interior/sterio &...
Whilst I agree with some of the very technical explanations, you have to remember the road is not a test bed. Roads vary by surface, gradient, grip, and MORE importantly the other road users.
I would be very happy to see the 172 cup compared to a ff 172/182, cupped/ or a MK1 172.
Staight...
What cup pack, there isn't one. Take the 10% with a large pinch of salt. One writeup, and others give the 197 far better reviews. Afterall, straight line speed against a 197 will show up the newer engined car.
The game has moved on. If you want a raw car buy a second hand Cateham, Westfield...
Munson, Sorry to blow up the sad little boys. I have had a brand new MK1 172. a mk2 172 and now drive a 182 with both packs. These were all done as company cars because I like them. Take it as you like. No issues. All brand new, and love them. I'm nbot waitimg for a 107 topic. I'd love to have...
Prcan , a NUT by any other name.
Look listen and learn, you may have an issue with the realities of life, well ho hum. Not the fact that I fucced up afterall. Toypop ahs said the same. Why should I listen to a vindictive/ self loving muppet.
The roads and stats. say it all. Ignore them if...
Seb, it's amazing the people who have generally no idea.
A 182 might have a very slight advantage in a straight line. (not why any of the RS cars are designed to do anyway), They are hot hatches and the handling is all, not the 0-60. There are plenty of cars that will be slower in a straight...
perhaps, as always you should look where you are going. Were you driving? YES, were you in control? YES. Why is your girlfriends fault???. You chose to drive and f""k up.
Give it up and not ask for what, sympathy, none deserved. You fu2ked up and now have to deal with it.
Why have you...
This is not an issue for you as he has full blame without an admission.. Anyone who rear ends you is responsible. Just don't let your insurance company deal with the claim. It's then "a no fault claim". This can have an impact on you claims experience. Trouble is you are not told this.
You...
