Well about a month ago I traded my phase 2 172 (which had coilovers on) in for my new 197, now i'm after lowering my 197 but to be fair I think coilovers will be a slight overkill because i'm more then happy with its handeling, an its only really goning to be used on the road an I hardly...
Well after speaking to a very good friend of mine who is up there with some of the best painters in the uk (painted numerous magizine feature cars, prestige cars an even an original gullwing mercedes!) he was telling me about a new product he's been using which as far as i know is exclusive to...

Right boys an girls, Back in june i replaced my drivers side driveshaft on my 172 due to the inner boot being spilt which at the time i put down to wear an tear. Yesterday i was under the car fitting my decat an exhaust an noticed it had happened again. Now the new shaft was an exchange item but...
Right chaps i'm toying with the idea of scrapping me 172's 16" wheels for a set of 15" pro race 1.2's or speedlines with a 195/50/15 tyre (parada spec 2 more then likely) will i notice any difference in handeling at all? I know a few chaps on here run 15's an i think it would suit my car more...
