My GF's 172 is slow as f**k :(

I would ask her to give it a try but the nearest shell to us is about 15miles away whereas BP garages are everywhere around here!

i had a go with a mk1 172 when i had the 106 and it was easily faster at all speeds, the 106 will feel faster than it is because its more raw.

The rawness doesnt really come into it when you're on a motorway, side by side and hes not getting any further away!!

Maybe you just cant drive, Dave!

I had a saxo before my 172 and noooooooooo way would a vts even keep up.. No offence :quiet: .. lol :rasp: anyway when my ph2 172 hits about 5k in 2nd gear its hard to keep the steering wheel straight its got so much power.... .... i have found that what petrol you use make a noticable difference at higher revs and i know people aint gonna believe me but tesco super unleaded :S i find to be the best....

Right. Just had 2 new tyres put on the front of the clio and it turned out the old tyres were about 10psi down, one side being 15psi down. I think this could have something to do with the car not performing too well. I can't believe I didn't notice god damn it thats not good!
