I haven't had one of these for a quite few years but would would you guys let me know what you think this Flame Red 127 Mk2 is worth:

Use the gear change light to guide you when to change up, in all gears and as long as the engine is nicely warmed up it will love it.
I found that my old car performed at its best when driven for about an hour as per the above.
Be brave - it can take it!
I think one benefit of the ECU is the incresed rev limit, which lets you do about 100 in 3rd and I understand, about 125 in 4th so I would imagine in a 0 - 100 dash youre saving 1 gear change...
The idle was fine after a few minutes first thing - I had the inlet manifold too.

Powerflow, sound fab but the quality isnt what I would expect - I had two mid-silencers go in about 2 years. The lifetime warranty appears to be only from the supplying dealer and is dependent on an annual inspection - from that same dealer.
Faults I had on my mk2, now no longer with me:
Airbag light - connection under passenger seat
Clunking from front suspension - strut top modification needed but not a guaranteed fix, I didnt bother and it seemed to make no difference to the handling.
Clunking engaging 1st gear - engine...
I think it was worth it in my setup but I dont know what it would be like on its own. The increased in gear top speeds are useful on occasion tho when you need to hang around in one with a few revs available.

If it doesnt work choose a good independent - that price for the...
You could try a independent (qualified) inspection of the car without mentioning the problems you are facing, so you wouldnt prejudice it. I dont think they are extortionate and it will be a report in writing which would help your case (if it needed to be made). If youve got car/home insurance...
As above really, thanks to those that did the hard work of organising the trip - special thanks to Yozza, Tony and Neil for all those mad bursts.
Got back last night @ 3am. It was the most fun I have had driving ever - hail the Highlands!:cool:
Not sure about 182s but for 172s I understood that full UK spec included the CAT1 alarm upgrade and locking wheel nuts...- otherwise its only technically got a CAT2 immobiliser as standard - check out the thatcham site..
I had a CAT 1 upgrade fitted to my car and all it added was the interior...
