Im sure the wheels will be a grower so I will reserve my opinions for now.
To make it work I think it needs some proper slammin to tick all the key euro look boxes.
Hi people,
Got a Ph1 172 2000reg, only has 36k on clock but due to the age it is due a cambelt change i believe. I have been phoning around local garages for prices. Some wont touch it. Some say they cant as it needs a special tool. One price it at £800!!!!!!!!! omg. Renault say £490.
What...
Hi mate, wont have gone far pal, the guy who brought it is also a haverhillian. He is ownly 18!, wants to change the wheels etc already.
Pics where taken on the rec ground, as I live opposite it now.
Lot better than the valver to be honest as a full on drivers car, so much feeling of the road than the valver, handling is out of this world. So much fun to drive it full on it limit and you know where you are with it all the time. BUT the valver had the special factor. Those wide arches and...
slammed and lovin it! had to go though as the 16,000 speed bumps on myh works buisiness park where probably not doing it much good to the suspension or my bones.
Hi People,
After buying my 172 a few weeks back I new the Gti was going to have to make way. Well today is the day that it goes. It was sold to the first viewer for £2850, little less than I wanted but hey, i got a 172 so I dont care.
So before it goes I took a few goodbye pics
Enjoy
Im in Suffolk/Essex/Cambs area, got a mate coming round tonight to have a look and give me a price. He is a vw technician but thought the the 172 would have a torsion bar.
If there is any1 who fancies doing it for some £££ who lives in my area or nearish then give me a shout.

What is a good price for it to be lowered with springs?
Cheers

Sweet, I love these. I got one that I have had for 3yrs, I was an original one with 72k but has a cracked cylinder head paid £70, never did get it fixed. Ended up stripping for parts but still got the shell sitting on my mates farm
Hi Pal,
I currently own both the mrk2 phase1 172 and a series 2 106 Gti. Personally I would go for the 106gti every time for track use. The 172 is so vague to drive compaired to the gti. I love the 172, dont get me wrong but it is more of a sensible hot hatch where the 106 is more of an...
