Hi people,
I am thinking of buying some mk2 phase2 172 rims for my mk2 phase 1 172 (hope I havent lost u there)
Do they fit straight on? I assume they do as there are very little differences between the cars but wanna check.

Hi mate, nice looking car. I see your from Suffolk. Did you buy the car from a bird in Haverhill? Looks very similar to one thats been around in haverhill for a while.
Anyone wanna share your pics of ya 172's (preferably ph1 but all welcome) dropped -40mm
Just booked my ph-quick in at gdi for some appex -40mm springs and fitting. These any good?
Cheers
tyre pressure is fine, checked it the other day.
Other than lower mpg it runs a treat. Its strange as it hasn't gradually got worse, it was suddenly gone from 35/36mpg to 30/31mpg.
Any other ideas
Hi people,
I was wondering What MPG do you get from your 172?
I have a 172 mk1. When I brought it back in Aug I am sure I was seeing approx 35mpg but the last over the last few petrol refills it seems my trip comp is telling me I am doing 31mpg.
What should it be doing. I generally...
Hi people,
Looking at maybe buying a 1.4rt Mk1 for a cheap run around for me the missus.
Can you tell me what the stats are;
0-60?
BHP?
How do they compair to other 1.4's ie 106 xsi 1.4 etc?
I know they are never going to be anything to fast but what are they like

in short, go have a look at the cheap'ns and in general they will be cheap for a reason then go look at the others and I am sure you would see why they are more expensive.
I looked at a W plate for £3700 which had done 55k with claimed FSH but it had not had its cam belt done which is £500...
yeah but you regually see crap ones which i think will be the ones for 3.5k. Obviously there are often bargins out there.
I doubt anyone with a tidy low millage, FSH, not many owners etc with all the belts changed would let one go for £4k
As I said when I was looking for one 2 months...
That may be the case but dont mean it is a good one. I looked at a few ranging from 34k to 72k, the cheapest was £3700 and was a dog one was £4800 and was good but had 60odd K.
Going by the lowest price in trader dont mean all are worth that as there is so many dogs out there. I would say the...
I would have thought that the phase1 172 with 50k is worth every bit of £4500 (as long as it is good with FSH etc) plus a little extra £££ for the yellas
