Hope you enjoy your new car mate =]

 

[mr.valver]

You'll love it mate, get some pics up when you get it

cadence braking la. Easy as. Make sure you've got some good tyres front and back, get a handle on the torque steer early on, avoid 17" wheels and low profiles and enjoy.

I've only had mine for a few weeks and I was also like a kid at christmans when I was waiting for it.

I didn't realise AAS had such a long waiting list, I knew they were good, but didn't think you'd have to wait that long. From what I have heard/seen, you'll not be dissapointed with AAS

 

[MrTrick]

know it's a stolen avatar oops! but it looks just like mine lol

Lol.

That's put that to bed then.

Get yourself onto the NE mailing list for meets etc fella, if you're not already on there. PM the rep Hutchie, or ask a mod to add you to the list.

There's a NE meet tomorrow - check out the local meets section.

[mr.valver]

WOW, I need new tyres, the power is immense lol

It's got some cheap rubber on the fronts put on by the garage.

Anyone use toyo t1r's on here?

All ready covered about 400 miles in the first day!

 

[kev182cup]

I put continental sport contacts on my 172 cup when I had it and they were the best I tried, if ya buy all 4 kwick fit are cheap 300 quid if I remember correctly.

 

[mr.valver]

Am on it, cause it's death on the current rubber, spins in 4th which is never good!

 

[Tobs]

whoop whoop another 172 cup owner

yh ive got t1rs on my cup, road noise when going round corners is a bit loud but compared to cheap ones i do get a lot less understeer and grips a little better yh

 

[mccabe172]
