got this as standard about a month ago had a little play and lowered it and got some wheels. its keeping me running about while i renew everything on my 172 as i'm going to make it concours.
when i bought it
how it is now
the chavs love it and old people laugh while its bobbling down...
Has any one done this? i'm going to start renewing most parts on my car soon as its currently on 75k miles and i want it like new. i have the rear engine mount gone so i'm just going to replace all the engine mounts. the driveshafts are also getting refubed. While i'm at it and the cars of the...
i spotted an 02 plate ph1 172 exclusive. i was under the impresion that they stopped making the phase 1 at y reg. am i wrong or did this have false plates? please help its really annoying me
has anyone else got one of these? i've just bought one and not yet fitted it going to do it in a minute. what are peoples opinions on them? i know it won't be as good as a harness but it should give better support than the seat belt on its own.
just got a quote for my renewal next month £440 yey thats £300 less than this year. i turn 25 this time which has made a big difference :) oh mods declaired too.
ok i have an intermitant problem that only happens when its really wet what'll happen is the car will run like a bag of s**t and not burn the petrol. i think the induction kit is sucking in water spray. anyway the past couple of times its righted its self with out the engine warning light coming...
can't wait to get them and get them fitted. i hope they are as good as everyone says. eventually i'll be going for the koni sport dampers as well but for now it just springs.:) my first mod to the car
Any one else using this? mines connecting at 3.6mbs at home but went round my mate and only connected at 53.6kbs. how are other people finding it? i like the idea of having broadband anywere if it connects quickly
what are peoples opinions would it just be wrong to do it? mines odyssy blue at the moment but needs a full respray. it could be different. i've no intention of ever selling the car so resale value is not an issue and my mate would do the respray. i suppose i could try it and if i don't like it...
right i am not a virgin any more and my car loves it! its so smooth. i am amazed what a difference it makes. its the first time the car has been done and its 6 years old now. can't wait to get it perfect, i only did the bonnet and wings as my solicitor called and interupted but the rest will get...
i gave the exhaust a quick clean and it came up pretty much like new. a few pics for you

i'm really keen on building a car for doing quarter miles but cant decide what would be my way of going about this. i have have had a few ideas but want other peoples opinions. there is a mk2 ph1 1.4 with cambelt failure on autotrader for £400 was thinking of doing a 172 engine conversion and...
my brakes are starting to feel a bit shite now after a few thousand miles of abuse so i need to change the pads. whats the best pads to change too and how much are they?
always wondered if you fitted a ph2 172 gearbox to a ph1 would it give even quicker acceleration due to the different gearing or would it just be the same? i know the ratios had to be changed in the ph2 as they are heavier and would have been slower otherwise.
what size tyres are they and would they be ok on a 172 for a while? or would it handle s**t? i know the speed rating wont be as high but i'm not going to be doing 150mph lol.
as you may know i have a phase 1 172 which is totally standard and low milege, well i want to keep it this way so was thinking of buying a 182 as a daily runner so i can get my ph1 to concours condition. anyway i have six years no claims could i split this on two policies or can i only use my no...
i'm currently on standard 15 inch wheels and was thinking of changing but don't want to lose any of the great handling that i have now. should i stick with 15's or will 16's be ok. i know the phase two have 16's but they are not supposed to as much fun as the phase 1 and was wondering if this...
i used to run an open k&n style filter but decided to try going back to original airbox and pipercross panel filter. i'm really dissapointed it doesn't feel anywhere near as responsive and now it doesn't rev as freely so i think its back to the open filter. why does everyone think standard...
