Looking good mate!

Im surprised they didn't pop especially when tyre pressures build up. Cookie I'd be careful mate as at them pressures you could see a blow out.

60 back? LOL

Do you not get handling problems when chucking it about on damp roads?

What tyre pressures should I have on standard 172 alloys? I had a flat tyre this morning so blew all my tyres to 32psi, and now the car feels really twichy, especially the back end.

Erm.... LOL

I wasn't at Ford Fair this year mate due to getting the new engine ect. I was there last year though, and on track most of the afternoon. Are you a member of passionford by any chance?

Was behind you from the Tyne bridge heading towards North Shields...

Can you add me mate? I don't have premission to post in that room.

Cheers for the comments people :D Alright Tony, is they no local meets to us mate?

Yeah I thought as much, it hasn't got the standard radio you see so they don't work LOL

They'll be plenty near you then LOL. If you go to any shows like Trax, Ford Fair ect, that is closer to you then give me a shout as I'll be doing a good few track days next year.

Class cars mate, getting cheaper now too 7k you can get them for. Noticed you're from Derby, thats where it's going to be mapped.

We'll have to get one sorted, and tbh no one knows I have it as I've not seen anyone LOL

North East mate, near Newcastle, as for the wheels there a bit of a fail really LOL

Im not living in Shields anymore mind mate, mind im only down the road from there LOL My cars in storage for the s**t weather and I was sick of using the van so I picked a 172 up, I was surprised how quick they are tbh, and got it quite cheap. It's burgundy and seems to have all the toys, just...

I've just looked and I've got the switches right of the steering wheel, I thought they were for the radio? LOL

Alright Sean, joined on tuesday when I bought a 172 :cool:

Thats the ones mate but maybe in gun metel grey or something, also prefer the older style where the spoke sit inside the wheel.

You can get the 18" copys mate, but they are made from the standard wheel so you can't fit big brakes under them. Shame really. Edited to say it was around 400bhp, come the new year when the new engines mapped it should make over 500bhp.

Mine hasn't 02 plate. Do they have cruise control or was that an extra?

As for the wheels I hate them in pics, but they look lovely in the metal. Thinking about getting a set of 6 spoke comps, maybe a dark colour just for a change as it's a killer trying to keep white wheels clean.

The standard wheels wont fit over my breaks LOL Basic spec is.. Low comp NMS big ported head (come the new year) NMS spec cams (come the new year) 83lb Siemans injectors Modified RS500 T4 turbo 2wd manifold 14mm Inlet spacer Koni's 6 pots tarox bla bla Once it's been mapped in the new...

Was having a look at other members cars, so thought I'd stick some pics up of my toy.

Whats a 200 as im new to the scene and haven't heard of one? Is it a version of the 197?

Ferodo DS2500, best pads I've ever used! Defo worth the extra money mate.

My mates done them before, he works at a garage in Sunderland. I can give you the number if you like?

I think it's called "offensive" why do people do it?

My I.d is ITSYOURFAULT, if anyone wants to add me. Got to say im loving MW2.

Just bought a 172 last night as a winter runaround, and think it's great.
