Go on, rub it in:rasp:

twas a beast! No real reason for sale, other than life and madness:dapprove:

:lolup: .................no, I'm buying yet another 106 Rallye:o I love them:o

Thought I'd let everybody know that my 172 is now with a new owner! He's a top guy who I know will look after her! He got a bloody bargain and I kinda hoped that he'd not turn up:o He's to a new era!! Basically what I did was buy the car from Danny, spend nearly 2k and sell it!!! Oh...

Was my missus in the car that day. I sometimes drive her 106 as I have to park on the Cowley road if I'm not riding to work! She gets the 172 as a trade! It's good to know that people spot her in it, that way I know if she's up to no good;)

Looks like it's long gone:D

Seems about ball-park mate. You're looking at about almost £700 to be spent though! I think £5500 is about right when all the work is done. I had my 172 up for sale at 5k and it wanted for nothing. I still got no decent interest. It's a buyers market at the mo when it comes to 172's.

It looks really really nice mate, kinda looks like a negative image of my car(but better). Those Apex are a bit poo aren't they? I'm glad I got rid of mine. I think it would look better lower but I'm not convinced super low is the way forward for a road car! You've made me want to start messing...

How long before you start to mod her???? You know it's best left standard, but I know what you're like Dan, I've got the metal/plastic to prove it!! (:

Well done Dan! A Trophy!!!! Very posh!! Is the wedding off now then????

s**t, what was I doing there at that time:S I'm sure I'm sleep driving:eek: I keep getting spotted in places I don't remember going! Good job i'm not trying to conduct some kind of sorded afair!!!:D

Saw you and waved at you today;) I felt so ambaressed about the state of my car that I went home and washed it:o Can't keep being spotted in a filthy car:D

They are pretty simple to fit but I'm friendly with a local garage so got them to fit them for me. The H+R's and Bilstiens are better but the FK's are really good for the money and the ride quality isn't anywhere near as bad as PPL make out. Try Rimstyle, this is where I got mine from, although...

I've been happy with them but that doesn't mean they're don't hamper the cars ability over the really bumpy stuff sometimes! This is an issue with coil-overs in general and not something specific to fk's. As soon as you reduce the suspension travel, up the spring rate, and increase the damping...

They look high standard but handle really well! As soon as you start lowering a car you'll generally hamper it's ability on the good old brithish b-road! A set of coil-overs would be the best option but they are expensive! It would mean you can set the height to how you want it to be...
