Looks good mate 140k still going strong!

Looks good mate 140k still going strong!

Yep. She seems quicker than ever ATM. Looking forward to getting her on a rolling road soonish.

 

[leeds_182]

Reassuring to think my cup could run for another 70k.

looks great.

 

[Borstii]

"SERV" ... beacause decat?

 

[Cup_Phil]

Mines getting close to the 120k - feels quicker than ever

Once warm I give it hell, have done for nearly 8 years. If serviced regularly the F4R is a strong reliable engine (touches wood)

"SERV" ... beacause decat?

Nope. The removal of the airbags seemed to bring up the SERV light :dapprove:

I don't doubt that Phil.

Mine made 171.5bhp at Surrey Rolling Road ( pretty accurate rollers) when she was on 130k a couple of years back with just a RS tuner remap/ decat and maxogen.

They get faster the more miles you do

Thanks

 

[Wick]

Top marks.

 

[Lawro]

Very nice mate! Mine isn't even half that mileage. Got some work to do lol!

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

And to think people's no.1 concern is not too many miles on cars when buying...

Good work !!

Cheers fella.

I agree.

Condition > Mileage.

 

[Krys_23]

Thats impressive! And looks nice still, how often did you change the belts?

 

[imprezaworks]

Brilliant

 

[Paul172sport]

Harry birthday! How many of those miles have been with you?

Good to see it being used to the full extent again

 

[Christopher.]

What a shed.

:rasp:

Whens the cage getting glued in ?

 

[Fletcher]

Thats impressive! And looks nice still, how often did you change the belts?

I changed the first belt at 72k, and the second belt change in Sep 2013. The second belt was overdue but the car was SORN for 16 months!

Cheers.

Thanks Paul.

Purchased the FletchBus in December 2005 totally standard on 45k! So nearly done 100k in my ownership

 

[Fletcher]

What a shed.

:rasp:

Knowsit.

I may have already sold the cage on

 

[Coops Mk1]

:slap:

 

[Fletcher]

:slap:

Don't worry. I'll hopefully have a cage in before Xmas :race:

Ill drop you a text...

 

[Paul172sport]

Goes to prove condition and servicing over mileage all the time

 

[Fletcher]

Yes mate.

 

[Mike@Rentech]

happy 140k day :clap:

this car is a beast!!

 

[msremmert]

Mine has less than half this on it. Nice to know with love and care it'll go that far.

 

[Fletcher]

Cheers Mike. She is running very well mate.

Mine has less than half this on it. Nice to know with love and care it'll go that far.

Look after them and they'll go on and on..

 

[Pauleds]

Mines nearly on 172k miles, I will have to try and remember to take a pic!!!

 

[scott.p]

Good mileage!
My shell car is on 121k the engine however is only on 75k

 

[Fletcher]

Mines nearly on 172k miles, I will have to try and remember to take a pic!!!

Impressive!

 

[TimR26]

Good to see it finally past 140k

I'm only 60k behind you now.

Knowsit.

I may have already sold the cage on

How come? Guessing you're going full instead of half cage then.

 

[Ian_182]

Thats really impressive miles.well done.

 

[VR46-G@Z]

Once warm I give it hell, have done for nearly 8 years. If serviced regularly the F4R is a strong reliable engine (touches wood)

I truly believe in this with any sporty car. All my cars I've owned have been of a sporty nature and once warm I've driven all of them like I have stolen them and never had a big failure with any of them! Keep an eye on belt intervals and good quality oil changes and giving it the beans= reliability!

 

[RSprojects]

this raised a good point I always remember in the early days saying they made less power hen standard but maybe the 172's/182' are older they have opened up a little ?

 

[racketboy]

To think I was getting concerned about my 172 at 100k

 

[Russ_16v]

I don't doubt that Phil.

Mine made 171.5bhp at Surrey Rolling Road ( pretty accurate rollers) when she was on 130k a couple of years back with just a RS tuner remap/ decat and maxogen.

Knowzit

Only 4 more k to pass my blacks ones mileage!

 

[Fletcher]

Cheers guys. ^^^^Hopefully hit 144k without any probs Russ

 

[david1987]

Mine must be barely run in at 82k then lol

 

[Russ_16v]

Cheers guys. ^^^^Hopefully hit 144k without any probs Russ

You will mate, every time I look at yours it makes me miss my black one

Still to this day it was the best engine I have had in a 172 (Followed closely by the £50 engine I chucked in my old track Exclusive, which had been standing outside for 4 months before we fitted it, had no idea on the miles but was a quick one!) and still made over 195bhp on 144k

Yours and Sharkeys are my favourite Ph2's
