Hello peeps, I've already made a new member thread in the general section. Thought id make myself known to the WM section,
my names josh and this weekend I bought myself a FF Artic blue 182, :p 45k miles completely standard 2 owners.
Bit of a difference in noise, ride height and performance in...
106 quicksilver, currently 1.4 (hopefully 1.6 vtr before trax)
has solid engine mounts, airfilter, vtr inlet, 421 mani, decat and Alten Grp n exhaust.
polybused disk rear beam conversion, will be lowered 50mm alround on spax dampers
half leather gti interior.
some other little bits and...
mechanically sound too, yeah I did see one of your posts with 5 on the drive! what's in the other grey Clio?
PM a rough price and spec? doubt il be able to afford it right now but its always good to have sumin to work towards :)
I think what i shall do is, do as much research into these two as possible and then have a wonder through them all at Trax :L should be a few Trophys there i hope. :)
awesome, have you got a prog blog by any chance so i can have a nose :)
which has been your favourite to drive then the Trophy or the 172, which i understand is a bit lighter and also loses some creature comforts?? guessin you have a few mods and good knowledge if you've taken on the Ring :)
£190 isn't that bad then for a refurb, how often do they need doing or is it just a case of as and when?? anything else to be wary of with these phase 2s?
That video is the exact one that's caused me this dilemma, that scorpion can sounds the dogs danglie's too on the video.
1.2 is cool doubt it would be much slower maybe even quiker than my 1.4 :) see nothing like that really happened between 106s everything is 8v unless you have a gti, in which case some wiring n piping etc is a bit different :L
your 172 looks aggressive there all blacked out! very nice. But the Trophy red is hard to resist, I found the evo magazine review on here the other night that mentioned about the Sachs dampers aren't all that well suited for road life salt grime etc knackers them out, whats the cost of a refurb...
oooh i may just have to pick your brains then Jesus, different good or bad? I do love the look of the trophy but the 172 is much easier to get a hold of
Thanks :)
I've had a brief look at them, air con, light washers, abs etc are things I can live without, would be interested to know if the cruise control is able to be moved across to the 172s tho. :)
Evening all, my names Josh aka Whetty.
I'm from the midlands and im about on various other French car websites, (F.UK, 106oc, Saxp etc. same user name)
Currently driving my Second 106 quicksilver, first one was diagnosed with rot and was sentenced to the scrappers in the sky by the MoT man...
