I raced an imported VR6 (german) in my 172 FF the 172 had the golf upto about 110 then the VR6 started to make a comeback fortunately it was time to start slowing down again so he never got infront!!
Steering Wheels that dont melt in the might heat of british summer!! lol
liking the lower seat sub frames and arch liner idea - I would definately have both of them!!
Look shite in that colour - Even the lotus looks s**t in that colour !!!
Anth Turinis are overated, Drop a 3.5 V8 Twin Turbo lotus Lump in it and yeah I probably would give it one Lol
depends on the company, i think I have upto 18 days for overseas driving included in my policy. I would imaging it wont be much more than an admin fee tbh
Who's that with??
Norwich Union tried it with me on my old 1.6 16v, I then did a quote as a new customer, saved myself £300 on the renewal price. dont renew just get a new quote with the same firm you will be suprised!! are eligable for the discount as a new customer!

my Sunbeam is called "Harry" but it has to be said "wid a stron saff london accent!"
(the Reg starts "Ary")
Are you Sh*tting Me??
I think the C2 vtr is the worst car I have ever driven, I had an hour test drive in one I took it back after 20 mins, it was that crap!
Based on new prices the 1.6 16v Clio was cheaper (£700) and had a lot more equipment than the C2 (fogs, air con, intel windscreen...
Ok so if by making a car out to be something its not.
I.e Putting a 172 kit on a smaller engined or lesser car lets just say a 1.6 16v seems to some to be Chav and boy racerish.
Now I have a FF 172 and I wanted a the creature comforts that the FF offered but I preffered the external looks of...
