Yep mines silver, but my brother also has a silver one aswell both live in the daventry area.
there are loads of 172s in and around daventry now :cry: time for a change i think ;)
You can run them on 97 RON, i run 22 psi on this fuel. Heres a list to check:
1. HT leads
2. Dizzy cap & rotor arm
3. Spark plugs
4. AEI connections ( its the blackbox near your battery )
5. Timing sensor ( its runs from the AEI unit to the plate near the flywheel under the turbo )...
Just spotted you reg P44 *** i think.
You had a cliosport sticker in your rear window. i was behind you as you overtook the lorry. ( sliver mk 1 172 )

150bhp GTTs can do 14.5 with road tyres no problem. so the same could be said for fiat gts
but yet again we are talking about modified cars vs standard :confused: ????? the only...
138mph in My Mk 1 172
160mph in my Old 300zx TT
In my Old Mini it had 90 Mph on the speedo i had it that far of the clock it went past the MPH bit at the bottom ;) i had it clocked at 122 mph @ 7992 RPM ( Scarey )
