Having gone back to an RX8 from my 172 i would think it would be very close, the RX8 has better initial traction and would probably stay ahead, my 172 felt faster in the 20 - 60 mph range but seemed to lose it after 60 where the RX8 is just getting into its stride. The rx8 does 50 to 82 (7000...

First was a blue 1*2 followed a minus or so later by a silver 172 PH2 with yellow bullets and a big exhaust

It gets said a lot on here but you need to make sure a specialist or at least someone who knows what they are doing and has the official locking tools does the belts. You hear some horror stories of belt changes going bad on here, just a word of warning. Your looking at about £500 from memory...

Silver 1*2 followed me through Staining LY 1*2 parked off side of Garstang Road Poulton

Normally you have to install them the right way round as the reactions have to happen in the right order chemically. A lot of them arent symmetrical so they cant be installed wrong. Performance wise i dont think it makes a difference but emissions wise it will.

I work on Poulton Ind Est too for the time being, moving by the airport next month, havent seen you on the estate yet but were down the bottom of cocker avenue so i rarely go up near the Post Office building.

I park up there every Tuesday night for college, never seen a Blue 182, will keep an eye out.

That was me, was it one morning this week, you were in a silver 197? I was late for work, on a few occasions i thought about passing you ;)

Was i behind you outside the Devonshire Arms pub about 2ish on Saturday? I was in a Ph1 172 and my mate a Starlet GT Turbo.

This car is featured in this months Retro Classics magazine, lovely car even with the rust!

Cams alone will obviously have an effect on the output of the engine, usually positive if the cams are ground correctly. The effect of the cams is to optimise breathing for a certain rev range at the expense of others. The cams generally available for the F4R seem relatively tame in the 270...

In car park at Trafalgar Wharf flats iv just parked next to you :)

I have built mine with 125hp for about 6k on the engine normally aspirated, in order to do that I'm running a miglia crank, swiftune rods, everything lightened. It's topping out at about 8400 hence my rocker issues. Got the med low distortion rockers now which are fantastic. Reliability is an...
