I ran 36 (F), 32 (R) on the track - the car came with 39 (F) and 30 (R) from the importers!!

How much can you supply the mesh grille for?
*LOL* Downhill, as in badly behaved!! I couldnt resist the temptation any longer and revved the nuts off the 172!! I got a fair few comments at Brands on Monday the likes of "Cor! Hes giving it some!" etc. etc.
Welcome to the club....black is the best colour, of course *lalalaaaa*
I ran mine in for 650 miles (max. 3500 rpm) then increased the revs to 4-5000 up to 1000 miles. It was downhill from then Im afraid.....as I found the limiter and gear shift light in a few gears! Had the oil changed at...

I can confirm that yes, its a towing eye, not an air intake - my mate has 3 cup cars. The air intake is fed in through the near side headlight cover...see under the ELF sticker on the picture below...

Very smart Trev_m!! I read that someone fitted Spax springs and the car went oversteer crazy! Any similar problems with the Apex setup?
As for the modded 16V - v.nice! Is that a go faster baby seat in the rear?! *LOL*
Nice! Thanx for posting the pics
So, Trev_m, your car looks lower on the Apex springs than Mikes on the Eibachs? How much is it lowered now?
Whats the handling like? Is it twitchy at all? And is the ride much firmer?
Thanx!

BTTT (back to the top).
So, we have Mike with Eibachs fitted, and a 1.5" drop.
Who else has lowered their Mk2172 and with which springs and by how much?
Id really like it _much_ lower i.e. a 60mm drop
