Well, that might be an exaggeration. 1. Just had a service, didn't need one as it's only covered 5000 miles since the last one. £300, ouch. Massive, cavernous potholes in Leeds snapped suspension spring and sent tracking way off. To be fair I do not drive the car sympathtically. Plus just...

Looks good, they just need to bring the V6 back now!

Think my 172's pretty dull (despite RS Tuning remap) but it's all I can afford at the moment. Did prefer my old Williams but it cost more to run, boo.

I just meant it wasn't anywhere near as fast as I though it'd be even when driving it. I seemed to have rattled a few peoples cages, oops!

Hi Everyone, Just thought I'd say that I've had a bit of a realisation about the 172. I was a bit annoyed when I got mine as I thought it wasn't that fast, so I got it remapped by RS Tuning, and the engine has been getting better as I bought it from one female previous owner so it had never...

If you're ever near Leeds you could get it remapped at RS Tuning, had mine done, makes a decent difference, seems to have two power surges at about 4500rpm then again at 6500rpm, weird, livens things up a bit though, still need to wring it's neck though.

http://www.crn-uk.com/ Was thinking of getting some of their grooved discs and Mintex Xtreme pads, any good? Cheers.

Sure a 172FF shouldn't do 60 in 2nd unless it's been remapped? I bought my 172FF with 49k from one female owner who I don't think ever took it over 3000rpm, the engines getting better with each thrashing, having said that I reckon I've been collered for a 3 point/£60 special last weekend...

Just wondering how the old girl's getting on. Loved it to bits, much better than my 172, although the RS Tuning remap helping out a bit.

Hi Folks, My 172 will be 5 years old in June, was thinking about getting the cambelt done soonish, where's best to get it done in Leeds and how much can expect to shell out? Cheers, John.

I used to have a remapped Williams, miss it like hell, went like stink and so much more fun than my 172 but it cost an arm and a leg to run. If anyone's running M257 KFP let me know how it doing!!

Hi there, Anybody know any good cheap wheel refurbers in Leeds area? I want mine refurbed and powder coated or painted in a different colour. If so, any idea how much per wheel? Cheers

Hi there, Is there any one air filter that's better than another for upgrade in terms of performance? I was thinking of the ITG performance air filter, but what about the K&N or Pipercross? Also are induction kits under £100 worth it? Is so any in particular, Green? Powertec? Pipercross...
