had my 197 cup a couple of weeks and noticed in 2nd gear it doesn't seem to do much ? as soon as i get into 3rd it zooms off. never experienced this before in other cars

Hi, just re-registered as am looking at buying a 197 cup tomorrow. have already had a 172 and 2 182s and loved em. recently had a corsa vxr and got 24mpg so wondered what i should expect from the 197?
thanks mel
i've had my 182 a year now and the mpg has hovered between 29.2 and 29.8 but i had really rubbish tyres oput on when i upgraded to 17's. now i've put decent tyres on and mpg went up to 31.7 but now its dropped to 28.5 ! whats going on ?

9 months ago i put 17" mirror rimmed alloys on my 182 and they looked bril. note, past tense ! the rims now look stained and i,ve been told its because stones have chipped the laquer allowing dirt in. surely this isn't usual otherwise nobody would buy them. help !
mel:dapprove:
put 17's on my 182 but made big mistake putting budget tyres on. i know whats recommended for the standard wheels but has anyone got any thought re best tyres for 17's cause these tyres i've got have gotta go, the ride is terrible.

hi, this is the first time i've used the forum. i've just upgraded the alloys on my 182 to 17's with 205/40/17 tyres but i'm not sure what the pressures should be, can anyone help ?
thanks mel:evil:
