Well the Mk2 looks a lot better IMO as does the 172, but i wouldnt be too bothered, u thinking of getting 1 GR? :cool:

Wheels look huge! A really nice 16v there Paul.
Is that turtle wax stuff protective like wax then or just polish; ive got a bottle so gonna do mine soon.
Great, so its the flaky paint thats causing it? So when they get re-conditioned itll be power coated and laquered; problem solved?
Beal sealant; what is it, is it easirly available, is it like paint or putty, hows it applied? Thanx, Mikey.
Yeah, buy 1, but make sure that the previous owner has had everything repaired when it went or else u may have to do everything at the same time like 16v_er & Dust.
The engines are pretty strong IMO, so jus check everything like steering rack, wheel bearings, etc.
For every geezer whos had...
How much r new phase 2 alloys from Reno cause if there around £60 each then itll be better to jus get a new set?
But there probably nearer £100 each, right?
Right i might be able to get my alloys re-furbished on the cheap so was just wondering if this e-mail i recieved is true & the problem will be solved, Hurray!
When we refurbish a wheel we blast it back to bare metal and then
powder
coat paint it which forms a complete seal around the wheel...
NO WAY! Owner can plead to the fact that he thought he was insured & had a license, etc. Thats if he gets charged which he wont. James will be fine IMO.
Cant find ANY that work! Any1 help me out?
Ive got some good 1s of me racing a Fiesta RS Turbo but still waiting for the Camcorder software! :cry:
Must be some road racing vids of 16valves on some1s hard drive, if not we need to get some up. Whos with me?
I know; had 17s,16s & 15s on mine; 17s best for quick cornering on stock suspension but not an enjoyable drive IMO.
Honestly, i prefer a Valver lowered on phase 2 alloys unless it is something special or a show car.
My advice would be save ur money & instead of alloys, get coilovers first. ;)
Wrong! Ive beat 1! :D & even with a decent opponant in the VTS it will not kick ur ass at all, infact i dont recall the 172 givin my standard 16v an ass whopping, just got beat. ;)
Looks good Adam on the 15s with that ride height! What spolier is it?
17s IMO r just too much of a sacrifice for looks! If u enjoy driving then u wont want 17s believe me! I think Adams 16v looks better on 15s anyway!
So has no1 got a lightened & balanced crank with the above mentioned mods and seen big BHP gains with the F7R?
I know that matbrowns 14.8 1/4 mile run is the quickest for a 16v recorded on this sites members section. Soon to be blown away by Nick i surpose but his had a 2lt F7R with the engine...
