GDI 182 uses a single 70mm jenvey doesn't it? have you read March/April issue of Performance Gti? theres a feature in there with the GDI car and a mk2 172 on itb's. The GDI wasn't that much down on power, and the writer prefered it

Don't think Norwich will insure under 21 on it, jus tried an online quote and it wouldn't have it :rolleyes: I rang my current insurer (Natwest which I think is UK Insurance or something?) and they would insure under 21 either :dapprove: I was expecting around 3-3.5K but the few that...

OOPS! see below!

im 18, looking at a 172 (non cup) no no claims, car on driveway, policy in my name with dad as named and with admiral, bell and elephant im getting quoted around £4300 and im in a low risk area? ive got a 1.2 16v at the moment and i'm paying £1900 on that for just myself. I dont understand...

Mines claire, though situations can be missunderstood with mates sometimes as my sister is called claire, 'nearly put claire in a ditch lastnight' 'You what mate, what did she do to you?!' and so on..

^ feck! 120K? I'd probably be scared to be ragging it round by now!!! i'v only just done 15K in mine lol!

Lol, ClioSport prepare for the 1.2 take over!!

Nope, no lie - it's a completely straight and flat road, with a couple of nice chicanes in it, mines just a beast i'm affraid :cool: You had bigger wheels though didn't you?

^ thanks! And I got the filter and pipe at the same time for £59 2nd hand, it had only been used for about 3 months!! so I don't know what it is like on its own, I did have to cut the pipe in half though as it was for a pre '04 engine layout and mine is post change so it's not behind the...

Thanks for all the positives! Was half expecting alot of - "whats the point?" kind of comments! Shes not a bad young lady to be honest, i'm happy with the performance until the insurance is better for me on a 172

tut tut.. don't watch your speedo? ;) Cheers for all replies, thought it would be different to have a 1.2 vid for everyone :D Rich

Adam - Its a flip phone so had my hand at the top of the wheel holding the top of the phone with my thumb & first finger, nice flat straight road helped :)

Martin - Really can't remember to be honest mate. I'm not sure if it was after doing the exhaust or the IK that it revved higher it only seemed to go to about 5.8 before whereas now it'll go to about 6.2 before it hits the limiter? Hell of a lot more noise though definately!! What has...

Yea I could feel that, so didn't push them all the way, they can definately take more abuse. I did about 100miles on them that day

Just a K-tec IK with relocation and SS Peco cat back Its lowered somewhere between 35-60mm aswell, springs were 2nd hand so i'm not exactly sure!! I was trying out my 4 spanky new GSD3's :) Superb

bump, there was definately a CS sticker in the window!

For obvious reasons there are never any 1.2 speedo vids, so I thought I do one for you all to laught at.. :o My first attempt at this so I wasn't sure which one to use so heres all the little link thingy's from Putfile.. <a href='http://media.putfile.com/Monster73'>Click here to watch...

Today, around 4ish at Warren Retail Park (Sainsburys petrol station) I see you had a CS sticker in your side window. Who are you?! Rich

i'v done the bumpstrips & drivers door handle and they look good, I just don't have the time or clean space to do it anymore, I used an airbrush to do them so they came out really nice considering I did them outside! I could probably get away with just having the bumper inserts and passenger...

The paint is however Halfords supply it when you have a tin mixed up, so theres no thinners in there at the mo? thought it only took like 2 - 21/2 ltr to do a car :S Thanks anyway to all!

^ is that taking into account that they would be ready prepped (besides primed) and anyone know about if they would use my paint?

How much would a bodyshop typically charge to prime and paint my side bump strips, front and rear bumper inserts, door handles and standard splitter on mk2 ph2 1.2 if they were all supplied sanded? Also I have almost a litre of paint mixed in Halfrauds which I have used to do the dash strips...

where abouts are you mate?

^ 1.2 me thinks? non sport atleast iirc

Out of interest, how old is your car? Only, i've got a 1.2 16v and its now 13 months old without a single problem, electrical or other?

^^ Its got OZ or something painted around the middle hasn't it?

54 1.2 Dynamique 18 Yrs old Driving 1 year 0 Ncb no accidents no mods good post code (apparently) £1963 ish with someone through Natwest

I ordered my Dynamique to collect on the day of my driving test, passed as planned and drove it home, well chuffed! It was brand new, 54 plate, metallic flame red, only 9 delivery miles, its got digital fuel and temp gauges on mine, don't know when they brought this in? pretty sure it doesn't...

Blue 182 OR 172! <-stupid mate wasn't sure:rasp: going into a petrol station at around 12, he spotted you not me but he said you had a lovely passenger ;) was it YOU???

I booked a test drive of a current Mk2 Ph2 RS late last year and they reckoned I should wait until the RS Mk3 came out which they said would be sometime between Feb and April, can't remember exactly, I was only ringing to waste there time :evil: :eek:
