Tell him to come buy mine, only down the road...

See what figures I get tomorrow when I take the wench to pick up her new motor :)

To be fair, mine doesn't get more than 29...30 at a huge push sitting at 60 on the a1, sitting at 70 and it goes to 26-28mpg when on a run. It's been a little better since fitting a cat but I'm convinced the decat has shafted the post-cat lambda even though there's no light on.

I have been using Road Trip LE and over the past 2 weeks the calculations for my driving come back at 28.08mpg which is mainly 6 mile trip to work and then back again, same distance to the mrs house and back again and a few 1.5 mile trips to and from work when I stay at hers. The fuel gauge...

I'm the 14th owner of my 02 172 (it was a cheap one) and apart from a jazzed driveshaft and rarely dephaser it's lovely. Think it needs a lambda as well. I've never looked how many previous owners a cars had, it's the drive of the car that tells the story.

It's not a dub and never will be.

Oh dear.

He can buy my black 172 if he wants lol

Shame it was a nice car :( the stealth exhaust on it isn't year old yet either

That's the thing I'm not sure if that was his exact plate or not just jumped out at me when I saw it bud.

Was this car bought from Lincoln by any chance? Looks like my mate Chris's old one that he sold a couple of weeks ago with that plate. Not nice to see, at least it's only the car that got damaged!

Woke up this morning to the sound of the postman delivering 2 packages to me, 1 was the 4 Silvatec bulbs the other was my new rear wiper arm :) Finally got out of bed at 11 after not getting in from my second job until 4am this morning (the things we do for a little extra money!), removed rear...

Just a quick question, the 3 bearings on the tripod are untrue so car feels awful when you plant it, like it's got a square wheel. Just wondering if anyone knows whether the bearings themselves can be renewed or if it's time for a whole new shaft? It's starting to really do my head in now so...

Picked up a cat from Rob-Gee on Tuesday night, had that fitted yesterday and upon inspection the rest of the exhaust systems isn't as bad as first thought so a new exhaust is well down the list now...which saves me a few quid in the short term! 3/4 plate turned up yesterday, excellent service...

I've had a lot of 'quick' cars but the lesser powered Clio 1*2 has beaten them all in fun/satisfaction, cost wise.

I've had 2 182's, first one was a boggo 182: Second was a RB 182 Cup (best one out the lot): 3rd was a 172 Cup (broke down within 25 miles of bringing it home): 4th and current one is a normal 172: In my opinion you can't get better value for money, hell of a lot of fun for not a...

3/4 plate just ordered, should be here Thursday hopefully :) Need to get hold of a cat as MOT isn't that far away and I would like to fit one along with the new exhaust, which I think will be the K-Tec recessed Sport (silenced centre section). Also need a new rear exhaust mount as mine has...

Stealth, in my opinion will always be louder as the tailpipe doesn't exit the bumper so will resonate under the car. Just my opinion.

Driving back from Havercroft where I picked it up from back to Lincoln on the A1 at a constant 80mph I saw around 35mpg (on the computer). It had an oil change yesterday and will do all filters and plugs this weekend, it's amazing the difference a good service makes!

Hmm, I average 25mpg according to computer. I do only drive 6 miles each way to work and then around town for the gym, second job etc so not too bad I guess. My Octavia VRS was better on juice though lol

Any videos haha?

Haha nice I look forward to that lol

It will be my every day car Phil. I think K-Tec recessed is looking like the favourite to be honest. Can't be going with something making my ears bleed haha

I would like to do a few trackdays, I will more than likely start with Blyton as I've never done any track work before. I would like to do Cadwell as, like Blyton it's fairly close to me.

Just out of interest, I see a lot about the Oreca Group N but nothing on the Group A. Has anyone bought the Group A and if so whats the opinion of it? My exhaust is shafted and I need something. My options are: Oreca Group A Oreca Group N Yozza Race K-Tec Recessed Cheers, Matt

Glad to see you got it back ok bud. Was really gutted to see it go :( I am pleased its gone to a good home to give it the love that I was going to give it.

Another boring update: So this morning I waved goodbye to my Cup :( Hated seeing it leave but hey ho, you win some you lose some! Got a call at 12 today by the Autoglass technician saying he could be 40 mins early so I was happy with that! so by 1pm I had a new window fitted :D by 3pm it...

So this morning after the police had been round have me the chance to fully inspect the damage, some little scrote had thrown a bottle of rosé through the window! Spent a couple of hours stripping the interior and cleaning/hoovering it and left most of the rear interior out until the new window...

Well after finishing my second job this morning at 3:30am it was lovely to come out to this: There really are some arseholes about! The thing is there was nothing in the car at all, which you could clearly see through the windows. The only thing in the car was the cd player which wasn't...

Check wishbone bushes mate
