I just knew you were going to own a 172 cup.

 

[2thumbs]

Funnily enough mine went earlier twice on the way back from work, I was barely doing 15 aswell!

Just lost all feedback from the wheel and felt like I had power steering.

yeh i need to shave a few pounds of the right foot lol

 

[Justin182]

Yeah, luckly ive got all the fancy gadgets (esp) and felt the back right wheel braking hard to get me back in line. Would think i could have done it myself but its nice to have it there.

 

[Vern]

i might have to give up driving the cup for a couple of months and start walking as i fear it may be safer

Get 'em changed sharpish you goon!

If you dont find yourself in a ditch, you get shafted by the rozzers as they do tyre checks this time of year.

i managed to get a worrying 3rd gear wheelspin, while overtaking someone earlier.Not very good when it starts pulling over to the right, with the torque steer :dapprove:

already in plan lol.... not driving at the moment for that reason

 

[fUbAr]

its good fun... i've experienced a 'moment' every day for the past week.

Coming home from work at 11pm, empty roads... rude not to play with the roundabouts. Thank the lord for ESP though, as my tallent soon runs out!

 

[daviebroon]

lol@ the girls in the FF's

 

[fUbAr]

lol@ the girls in the FF's

to be fair i never had it in the proper 172, and managed just fine then.

I see it as a challenge to get the light flickering in the 182... if the light's not on im not trying hard enough

 

[daviebroon]

all my lights flicker at the moment... unfortunately, nothing to do with traction control!

[daviebroon]

lol, its weird, its wen i get to about 4k.....waheyy, off she slides,lol. Tried a 4th gear one, cant quite manage it,lol. 3rd gear is the weapon anyway (no sexual inuendos required,lol)

 

[j6 pkp]

rear wheel drive FTW!!

 

[Ali]

rear wheel drive FTW!!

Indeed.

 

[Vern]

RWD much better in the wet ? do the vee's have traction control ?

 

[Ali]

RWD much better in the wet ? do the vee's have traction control ?

Aye....Barriers and bushes.

No no. V6 owners don't venture out in rain/snow/ice, and if they do it won't be far and will be conducted in 4,5,6th gear! lol

 

[Martin_172]

noticed mine starting to knock and bang in 3rd gear as it scrambles for traction when overtaking!

had one of our MK3 1.2 16v's sideways tonight on a big roundabout

Try France! I was unintentionally drifting on the motorway in a Discovery last year. Scary s**t :S

 

[Christopher]

PMSL!

so true

 

[Christopher]

i dropped in into second to overtake the other day and got wheelspin and limiter when i hit 5k. lol

TC went nuts. lol

it definitely loves to torque-steer more now too

ESP off + a string of small, cambered roundabouts on my way home everyday

 

[Shindig]

once last night, gave it a little too much in 2nd going round a corner!!!

more commonly with the cups as we can't get the traction down quick enough and the lack of brakes doesn't help

Last Thursday on the way back from work on my favourite roundabout. It was deliberate though

The roads are getting incredibly slick. When I pull out of my car park first thing in the morning I can feel the front wheels sliding on full lock at 2mph.
