182 trophy
Aslong as its looked after, services and belts done don't see there problem, engines them selves seem pretty reliable, asking as oil an coolant levels ok an its warmed up then have some fun! It is a sports car after all 
I used to worry about thrashing my car. I still do. But when you think about it, if the power comes in high up the rev range then surely its designed to be revved like that. Just regularly service it and it will be fine.
Yea fair 1 only just brought it. But going into ren tech to get belts and oil leak sorted then il go out and have some fun I think
172 Track Car
I service it on a regular basis, let water get to operating temp and then give it another 10 minutes to warm oil up before I thrash it. It does see 6000 rpm on a regular basis though, the national limit sign is just so provocative.

They love to be revved. It's fine.
Just don't drive at 110 plus for extended periods... As one stupid 200 owner found out

I'm not sure i have ever driven my 172 in 4 years of ownership and not given it full beans each time I'm out in it. Only ever needed belts, dephaser, service, brakes and tyres changed I.e the usual car service items
give it hell it's designed for it, as long as its properly maintained

He was a pleb asking if it was ok to do 110 - 140 for an hour straight on his commute. Then he posted a thread on 197.net asking why his engine blew up haha
obviously, the engines are ok for that speed, just not with a numpty at the wheel
Me too ! Didnt know it blew up though :O ooooooops I'd be very upset lol but then again I would be driving at a steady 120 odd for long periods of time !
I feel bad as my car hasnt had a decent run for a while, the longer it sits no getting the s**t kicked out of it the sadder it looks!
