Finally got him. Lol

Hes had it a few months now and iv been sayin we should meet up for a battle but not much has been said. Anyways see him out and stopped for a chat and he started braggin about beatin a beemer 330 and i was like oh yer, alright, every car i said id done well against hed done better!!! Lol So i say to him right you up for a rally down our dual then mate!? and he cokerly replied sure James!!!Lol

From second on the power upto *00ish I let him go off first so i was behind him, by the end of second id nose dived infront of him, 3rd and 4th stayed pretty much the same give or take a few cm's........When we parked up he started givin me baffle that he was only takin it to 7k and it revs to 7.2 :roll: as to which i replied i didnt hit the red once either, he then said i dont really think i did too badly considering your is a 2.0 willy engine as to which i replied youve got 2 litres aswell and 172 horses!!!Lol

Classic...He had no where to go!!!

And to think i wanna flog mine for a 172 :shock: Certainly wont be for more performance :wink:

Lol im not really doing it for speed reasons, just for better reliability (did i say reliability!? Lol) and the fact of having a newer car with a few extras and no one can doubt the 172's are comfortable cars.

Dont get me wrong iv had the car for nearly 2 years now and have only had the 2.0 in and 15's on since summer and iv never ever got bored with it, its been a top car but i think its time for change!!!

If anything he' changing a little late @ 7000rpm.... I usually change just below - assuming his car is standard.
