Sorry if I have missed it couldn't be botherd reading every single comment. But here's a crazy idea, why dont you just get it wrapped? Saves the colour underneath. Your happy it's blue. Cliosport will maybe see come resale time it can just be put back to red. Seems logical if you really want...

Cheers :) Meh, something different will only be keeping the wheels until the tyres are done then sell them on.

Re: Project s**tbox 172 (In Need Of A Good Tidy Up) some more progress: not had a computer so not been able to upload pics. all the powerflex bushes fitted. arb twisted engine mount wishbones all assembled also received my goodridge braided...

cars looking great mate. are you still using it as like a daily driver as well? what is it like having the polly windows for day to day if you are?

car looked great mate as did the civic you were with. parked on pitt street last night about 12 maybe?, i was passenger in a lime green astra vxr.

as above really, looking for a radiator for a ph2 172. one has came up for sale. just wondering if a ph1 172 rad will be ok with a ph2 172. thanks

look where?

i got sick of it and wanted to sell it, reason i bought it in the first place was to do an engine swap in the 1.2 but my mate Mick went to Kuwait and couldn't do the work so i was kind of gutted. Therefor i decided i was going to sell it. the day after i said i was going to sell it he...

it probably is a crazy option but im happy lol, you could say why do anything.. but why not maybe i have been miss informed, either way no big deal years tax on a sport isnt really going to break the bank. thanks mate appreciated.

nah dout it mate hopefully sell the 1.2 bits, cheers well for starters the 172 has rear end damage witch really bugged me, and with the list of ongoing problems with the 172 it seamed like the logical idea to take it apart and fix whats broken, then put it back together in a straight shell...

so started the day at around 11/12 and we striped the car back (when i say we i really mean i stood and watched mick) its getting there and in less than 3 hours the engine was out :approve: so we rapped the day up like so as said i cant take alot of credit for the...

Looks like a new lease of life, project rebuild and reshell starts monday. everything from this is going to be swapped into my 1.2 shell once everything mechanical has been done the roof is going to be taken off the sport and put on the non sport to do away with the sunroof. then i will...

how about fk highsport coilovers these seem to be within budget and ive heard good things about fk. are these just fks budget coilovers because there is like 3 types to choose from?

saw both in edinburgh last night looked sweet as hell. fair play

i did think about sportlines but im not to fussed on the shocks that are on at the moment. and koni shocks themselves ate over 500 :( or i would. whiteline arb is something i will look at in the future but as i said i cant really warrant it as i wont be swinging the car about on a track etc...
