Ah ok then, thats fair enough. Like i said, i couldnt see the video at work. So in your opinion, do you think it would have been more evenly matched, or faster had it of had someone of equal driving capabilities as yourself.

i cant see the video at work, so dont know exactly what happens. But from what i've read, the focus driver was in front, and stayed in front, even though his driving was bad. So i dont know if the CUP was all over him, and he was just getting in the way, or if the CUP was just keeping with...

check out www.pricerunner.co.uk I've used that a few times lately to find the best internet prices for stuff.

Who cares which is fastest, at the end of the day they are all cheap french rattle boxes, lol. We've established at most there is 1-2bhp difference at the wheels, so in the real world, on the roads or the track its going to be driver talent that wins the race. If you want to make your car...

I'd imagine its a LAD one.

personally i'd change that statement to... "I wouldnt buy one unless it had an M-sport engine" Lots of little chavs buy a 318 and stick an M badge on the boot ;)

Car looks the tits, and there is some serious foot work going on there. I'd love to be able to heel and toe like that.

Is there a V6 in that picture? lol I've never met your brother, but already i dont like him, lol.

Good skills, but unless its just crap video, he needs to get rid of that dumpvalve and get a decent one, as that sounds like he is running a budgie over or something. If i heard that go off the lights and squeak like that, i'd laugh at it. Hell im laughing at it now, lol. Nice conversion though.

I thought CUP's didnt have ABS because they were more track/rally orientated. As surely having ABS isnt that much extra weight over NON-ABS. As i'd imagine a proper rally/track driver wouldnt want ABS kicking in under heavy breaking in a race. I found the CUP breaks excellent for feedback...

When i was looking for a 172, i had the money, and the salesman knew this. He only had a CUP in at the time though. And just because i said i wasnt sure if i wanted a CUP or a FF, he wouldnt let me take it out for a drive. He said that i would only be driving it to thrash it, as i wasnt really...

Did your old one say 4x4?? :eek: :quiet:

I went from my 1.2 clio to a 323 BMW (it had a 2.5l engine though). It had 170bhp and the same in torque. It used to pull so nicely. I changed for a CUP after only a few months though. Not because the BMW was/is a bad car, as it was solid, and would kill a clio over 70-80mph upto 140mph easily...

I use AG Glass Polish. But can get concentrated industrial glass cleaner through my dad as he has worked in the Double Glazing industry for over 20 years. You are supposed to water it down, but i use it neat, and its like when you walk into a glass door, as its that clean you cant see it, lol.

Yes, the number represents the amount of pins. So the more pins it has the faster it can process stuff. But you need to make sure you have a compatible motherboard for the chip, as you cant put a 775 chip in a 478 socket, as it has to many pins.
