What..........even for you;)

Yeah his old blue Escort cossie went on fire one night and the nos bottle blew it apart. Hes perfected drifting round the hairpin at knockhill,hes got a mate Andy Gallacher who has a black escort and does the drifting as well.

Im thinking it may have been a infamous L.A.D "conversion".

Theres an advert in last weeks Scottish Autotrader(possibly on website)of a guy selling a Mk2 172.Its a silver one with 17s and sideskirts and roofspoiler,not very subtle.In the advert it says it has over 200bhp,which i found hard to believe as the only mod it says it has is a magnex exhaust...

I havent read what everyone else has said but you must be stupid.How can you let someone punch you twice and kick you and not do anything back. "If my car wasnt hear id fight you" ????? As soon as he goes for you first time you should have been throwing him about like a rag doll.As you said...

Mk1,the original and still the best.

Well if i feel someone has fd up and caused me hassle then thats my attitude and i usually get my way!

Standard renault pads john,i find them really good,but ive got Tarox sport japan discs.

Why not,they deserved it and next time i may not go as easy on them.

Went into Renault Hamilton on Saturday morning and purchased a set of front brake pads for my mk1 172.Gave the guy my reg number and he checked the computer and said they were £25+vat,thought that was quite good for renault.Anyway,drove home got the car jacked uped and took the wheel off and the...

How long does it usually take for the rain x to dry so you can buff it off.

Yeah blacks pretty rare,only ever seen 2 in black,1 in yellow,a few in red,a good few in Titainium silver and another fair few in the ice blue silver.

It aint us thats argueing,its doubting thomas 2live.:D Its not even my car were talking about here so dont know why im argueing.Think its just carried on from the football threads;)

2Live ive nothing to prove its you who are doubting not us;).You had a standard 172 running 14.7 and a breathed on Cup doing 14.2 at york the other week so whats the big difference between those times and ours up at crail.

Typical English Neil,they cant believe anyone may be as good as them;)

Porsche Carrera GT is number 1 im sure.

Dont worry Neil we can get "Big" Doyle to sort these soft southerners out;)

IMO i would expect times at crail to be slower than york+pod.Reason being the surface at crail is anything but perfect,and i would expect their to be a hell of a lot more rubber layed down at the line of the Pod. So i would say MACS cup is got to be the fastest standard one about,ive witnessed...

I remember seeing a pic of him last year picking up a McMerc at Geneva Motorshow im sure.

Mk1 172 Wishaw

I sent them an email on Saturday to see whats happening,came home from work today expecting a reply but F all.So i sent them a cheekier one tonight,if i dont get a reply tomorrow im going into their offices in Glasgow on Wednesday to see what the f**k is going on.

I thought that,but it dosent say 7 working days?

Anybody had any problems when ordering from them.I ordered 2 Toyos last Friday and got a confirmation back same day saying they had my order and would email delivery date which would be within 7 days.Ive still not heard from them,im going to phone them tomorrow to see whats happening.

Before i had my R-sport ecu,i hit the limiter in first 4 gears and it was 7250 every time unless its cold it only revs to just over 6k and gets higher as it gets warmer.And limit in 5th is defo 7000rpm. Yours must have been f**ked if only revving to 6500 all the time unless a temp sensor was...

Its 7250rpm i think in every gear except 5th where its 7000rpm. You wont blow it up,mine has an R-sport ECU which lets it rev to 8000rpm and mine aint blew up yet.

Remember i had the story up a month or so ago about me running into the back of the other car in my mk1 172.Well direct line came and picked my car up and took it away for 3 weeks and fix it like brand new.The mods on my car are,Supersprint 70mm race exhaust and decat(the loudest exhaust...

I hate the assholes who join the Motorway and imeadiatly(sp)move into the middle lane when the driving lane is clear.Usualy older people or rep types who have no idea. Ive seen me sitting behind people in the outside lane at a safe distance,when the rest of the lanes are clear for miles and...

Which Tar-ox pads is it youve got mate?

No hes well past spade,hes onto JCB.;)
