I like it mate, had 2 106 gtis in the last few yrs, absolutly fantastic cars.
Only thing im not 100% keen on are the wheels. Recon the VTS rims in the same colour as yours would look nice or the 306 GTI cyclone wheels.
Heres mine on the vts rims
I remember these sad sad days when the valver would cost me s**t loads each month it seemed. Once I had spent a bit on it I felt i needed to keep it to make the expence worth while but then that week something else would go wrong.
The valver has been my fav car that I have owned but the...
I'm not 100% what the figures for these cars are, i would guess at 0-60 and bhp are;
172 = 7.0-7.2 172bhp
VTS = 7.2-7.6 120bhp
What do these figures actually mean in real life races though, as these figures are gained from straight line driving aint they. How do they transfer...
there is more to performance than engine size.
Handling and breaking are assets of performance not just engine size in fact engine size has very little to do with it.
1.4 R5 GT can see off many hot hatches with bigger engines
1.8 Clio 16v is more faster than a Fiesta 2l ST
etc
Well i owned a 106 gti which is near on the same as a VTS, now got a 172 phase-quick. Took them out for a blast together, my lady in the 106 and me in the 172. She is a bloody good fast driver.
There was nothing between them over all really, as said on the straights the 172 pulls on the gti...
I have had 2 that I miss
The clio was the most fun and the most I have £££ i have chucked at a car.
The red 106 gti for its mintness, i will never own a car so spotless as this without buying new. Why did i sell it?
My Silver 106 gti was a good'n and got it looking as i wanted.
Sound like your living my life Munchkin, I got a ph1 172 on a W plate with 35k last month and am also getting married next June.
Sweet looking car though, i love the ph1 172 so so much.

Hi people,
I was wondering if anyone could guid me on what could be wrong with my ph-quick.
Recently on startup my 172 has been a bit rough. Once started up on idle after a second or 2 the revs drop and often die and stall or sit at a low level where it seems to be struggling (around 500...
Sweet, the CTR's never seem to photo very well and look like people carriers but I fecking love them in the flesh.
Definatly a move upwards from the clio in my opinion!
I think my next car will be a CTR in stunning red
