    James' 172 Cup Project

    Love my PMS exhaust, sticks out of the back rather than stealth, they don't seem to come up for sale that often, well worth the money, it did get quite a bit louder with the 182 manifold but not ridiculous, although glad I've got the centre silenced

    My Ph1 172....

    Agreed, I had Apex springs on my first Ph1 and the ride was awful, currently running Eibach springs on my Ph1 now and they are a lot better, Cooksports were good on the cup too but depends what route you want to go down :up:

    mintno1's Ph1 172 & Ph2 172 Cup Progress Thread

    Was and easy and pain free transaction on both sides and it's getting driven at the minute which is good although am currently trying to organise a garage/storage for it so will see how that pans out, it won't become a true garage queen whatever happens :up: Their is definitely something about...

    MrBlonde's 172 cup

    Sounds good, look forward to seeing the graph later, could definitely feel the difference in the 182 that had been remapped by ED that I took for a spin a few weekends ago, I need to get mine booked in soon :up:

    Ph1 172 - quoted 850 for belts, phaser, water pump & tensioner? expensive?

    Am sure that's true although I also know of 'specialists' and garages who work on more exotic machinery too who can't get the timing correct on a Clio, I guess anyone can have an off day just wouldn't want them too if it was me paying the £650+ :smile:

    Ph1 172 - quoted 850 for belts, phaser, water pump & tensioner? expensive?

    Give Engine Dynamics a ring they are near Harlow so not a million miles away, I believe they would be cheaper than the price you already have and know what they are doing :up:

    mintno1's Ph1 172 & Ph2 172 Cup Progress Thread

    Yes essentially, I have already broken one which I thought was for the right reasons but I just felt I hadn't finished with a Ph1. It won't be tracked or stripped for parts, I intend to do whatever work needs doing now and in the future and keep it for the long term :up: It's funny I thought...
