That's a pretty good phone then if they are phone pics!

[FlamingMonkey]

Looks really good to be honest, I got it from the same guy who paid for TheJesus's throttle bodied 172.

Looks like it really been looked after, I have looked at loads over the last month and this has been the best so far.

Sorry, should have said... Nice car mate. Does indeed look like a real minter.

[MAXIBOY]

ah I get cha

Hmm not 100% yet not had much of a chance to push it but one thing I noticed is it turns a lot sharper than the Willimas, the power steering is very light and sensitive compared to the Williams, to be honest it does feel very planted, the only mod on it is the Eibachs which I imagine will improve the handling, it still apears to be standard height, I have the original springs also, to be fair its gonna have to go some to feel better on the limit that the Willy, but its really only going to be a road car, the mods are going to put put to use on the Willy.

Once I have give iot a good roasting I'll stick up a report comparing the two, maybe include a few vids :twisted:

[Swervin_Mervin]

I have been equiring about these myself, with a former owner. Apart from them apparently having a lively rear (short rear suspension travel) the guy I had a chat with is thinking of getting another again.

BTW, he informed me he tried to tell people on CS about a trick for lowering the seats but no one listened. There's spacers between the seats and frames. Take those out for a 1cm or so drop. :wink:

[FlamingMonkey]

Weird you should mention it Mike, Stu was banging on about how high the seats were compared to the Willy, I didn't notice it myself, while we are on it, the seats are in no way near as comfy as the Willy ones though, good but no bully

No idea about the rear yet, havent really pushed it, but I was suprised how much it stuck to the road, deffo similar to the Williams

[richy]

very nice! :D

[2 live]

lookin good mate...u finally did it then lol.

[FlamingMonkey]

lookin good mate...u finally did it then lol.

hehe yeah but the Willy aint going nowhere, best of both worlds, I reckon

We should meet up and have a comparison, I reckon its a quick un ;)

[Chris n`nic]

As I said m8...very nice. The twitchy rear that Mike mentioned was pretty much gone after the eibach so it should be fine...

Chris

[Martin]

Nice one chief.....172 cup is the daddy as far as mk2s go I reckon.

If it's just a road car though did you not fancy a full fat?

[Winston]

8) 8) 8)

[northy]

Very nice mate - glad you have got a good one. Bet Chris is jelious
:wink:
Long live OHX rob...... 8)

Nah full fats not for me, dont particularlary like any of the colours, plus going in Chris's Cup sold me years back when he first got it.

Don't worry Northy, OHX isnt going anywhere, well apart from maybe, Oukton, Donnington, Brands etc :P

That reminds me, when they re-schedule Oulton bring me a WC sticker along and I'll decorate the Cup, there are some Cliosport ones in the glove box too.

Chris

Cheers yeah it does feel really planted to me, seems to be less body roll than the Willy, might be due to the harsher seats maybe making me think that :P

[J o n]

lovely Rob, was speaking to Chris the other night when he told me, thought I'd keep it quiet though lol.

very nice one, deffo the best available and like you say he really looks after his motors and only buys minters. you also have a quickun there too mate, it made the most power on the day at it's last RR :)

[Zollo]

Nice mate. Had thoughts of getting one myself actually... until I realised I couldn't afford it!

Look forward to seeing what happens with the Willy :twisted:

[FlamingMonkey]

Not looking too shiny at the mo, shitty rain :D
