As above. I can't believe I've now owned it for 6 years :)

Well as people on here know on Monday I purchased a set of black 2118's off Matt (toomer)

But they must have been ET37 or something, as my 4 pot calipers fowled the wheels :dapprove:
But yesterday I swapped them with Joe (Joah) for a set of white 2118s :)...

C&C welcome :)
Hi guys.
When I first start the 172 up I have noticed a bit of White smoke coming off the manifold ( maybe something is leaking onto it) After a 5 min drive it stops doing this. It still drives the same, no loss of power and I have no faults on the dash.
Any ideas?
Well as I said at the Sarfbest meet another breakfast run is well overdue! :race:
Me and Tom are up for doing another one soonish. Not sure on the route yet, we shall depart from Winnall services though, and end up in Winchester city centre for breakfast. :coffee:

As above. The SERV/Airbag light has been on for ages mind (since I removed my airbag) :o
Had a new battery, Alternator and Aux belt at the start of the year. The car drives and pulls as well as ever.
Any ideas? It is due a service now also.
Cheers Fletch :)
Hi guys.
As the weather is nice, and the 172 hasn't moved since last Sunday. I am going to go for a run on my favourite local B roads :cool:
Meeting at 12.30 at Tesco Winnall if anyone else fancies coming along?
Cheers Fletch.
PS heroes need not apply!
As above after just under 18 months, the Recaro trendlines are out. I shall miss them TBH.
Before.
After.
Car is quite dirty/dusty and not the best pics :o
C&C welcome.
I am after some fixed buckets next, like these Corbeau Revenge seats.
Pic from Godspeed 182.
The car is primarily a weekend/track day toy, but I do still enjoy fast road driving and don't want to struggle at t-junctions etc..
Thoughts and opinions, cheers Fletch.
Fitted the sabelt wheel last sunday thanks Tim, Chris. I had a few hours spare this afternoon, so got the Hankook RS2s and 2118s fitted today finally :)
I didn't get any close up pics, but it's a very tight fit between the calipers (4 pots) and 2118s :eek:
Oh now on 130,600 :)
I am thinking of getting one of these, but have a few questions.
Are they compatible with Macs?
And has anyone since installed the pops and bangs re-map to a MK2 172?
Cheers Fletch.
I am looking to remove my rear door cards, and was wondering what the best way of removing them is. So far I have removed the seat belt bolt, and speaker cover. Is it now just a matter of pulling the door card itself off?
Also people that have stripped the rear what have you done with the...
Started up the 172 this morning, for the first time in a week it fired up first time without any problems.
After 5 or so mins I noticed a strange fishy, plastic burning smell so took it out for a quick spin, and noticed the engine felt very, very hot! The coolant bottle was bubbling away...

Last night at 2.30 am, I was woken by a facetime call from my GF.. Strange as she was asleep in bed next to me, and her iPhone was down stairs :S:S
Just what I needed after this.

I had a good look around one today, with black speedlines fitted. Very impressed, it looked great TBH.
Anyone on here got one? if so I'd like to see some more pictures of it.
Cheers Fletch.
Not cleaned in a few weeks, and now on 127,200 miles (mileage has slowed of late)
Not had a chance to drive her properly now for ages. Thinking about taking it off the road soon, maybe even sell it!.. tempted to get a RS 200 or MK2 RS :S
