Hi I'm Dave. I have a ph1 172 that I am slowly turning into a track car. The wife has a black ph2 172 I'm in Ramsey.

Thank you @Josh i'll start having a look. I've got a birthday coming up so might be able to get a few items from that. Is an exhaust system worth looking at? @Josh @tomhunt85 ? I'm not too interested in it for a noise reason more if it is going to be worth the return for the money.

So 172 cup front struts - straight fit 182 cup rear struts - straight fit Sorted Think i will have a look and see what i can find. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the comments. Are the shocks a straight swap for the standard ones on a ph1? Might pop in some new rear pads as they were a bit down already. I've heard the ARB is pretty good so think that will be on the list.

I've got a ph1 clio that i picked up as a shed for a bargain. I've just done a track day a Cadwell park (yesterday) and really enjoyed it. Now the bug has bitten me i want to try and improve the car a bit for the next track day. The car is completely standard apart from stripping out the rear...

Balls! Thanks for letting me know.

Just had a read through from the start and am very impressed. Just a question.........the wheels you have in the picture below.....are they off of a 205 GTI? If so, do they bolt straight on? I have a spare set at home, and they looked like they'd fit but wasn't sure. Cheers Dave

who: Dave what: Black 172 where: Ramsey Also, looking at the first few posts, most of those photos were taken at RAF Upwood.....is that a regular meet or something? Would be REALLY handy if it was as I live in the old officers quaters on the other side of the road.....

Oh crap, this guy is only about 10 miles away from me! Thank you for the heads up guys, I won't be doing a search again looking for local suppliers to get bits from.....

Just ordered, plus a few other bits. Heard a lot of good things about citrus fresh, so will be good to try it out :D

Now it is up on the for sale section.....

I just noticed that......think i'm getting old or it takes a bit of time to go live.....I'll post it again

The car is now in the "cars for sale" section with plenty of pictures if anyone is interested in it :approve:
