900 :O
& mate its easy to fit yourself... u just need spring compressors!
Ive got 60mm springs... and I can honestly say it aint low enough! well, its pretty low on the front but not low enough on the back at all!
I wouldve thought it would be cheaper than that mate... 590 for the kit...
.......... so good point!
& i must say, some very good points as above.... about just buying a mk1 172... anyone can do that, not really unique. I dont know about you, but I wouldnt mind a mk2 172 but would probably still prefer the car ive got atm with a turbo on it... Not to mention, I dont...
oooh didnt think about that mitchy!
Class car to drive, really fun, and the driving position is sooooo good! it was my 2nd choice motor to the clio but they didnt offer free insurance!!

thats coz she copied me :o lol
I would say go for the blue over the green.... but thats only coz its more manly!
Not sure if its standard on the 1.2 16v... I was under the assumption it came as standard on the 1.4s & 1.6s.

hmmm that looks like the southampton SR meet craigy :P hehe
I can vouch for craig, his car looks sooooo good with his super ts refurbed in gloss black!
Ben, I had my ickle 1.2 16v for 7,500 miles before I had my accident & I still wasnt bored with the power! sure i got annoyed a few times when my mates 16v whooped me etc but I was the one still getting 35mpg even when thrashing it.
120 bhp would be more than ample after going from 75bhp...
Yeah thats what I was thinking, the novelty value of a 1.2 turbo would be wicked hehe.
And I aint looking to change my car in the next 3 years as I have spent so much on it and going to spend alot more in the coming 2 months so was thinking I will need somet to keep me amused with it instead...
lol, I lowered mine 60mm on spax springs, and with the 17s on I could have 6 pplz in (should you want to...) and could go over humps no probs.
Didnt have it on 15s for too long to experience problems with pplz in the car, But you wouldnt have problems with rubbing, the only prob will be the...
Anyone know anything about this? I heard they were in development of one, what kinda increases are they doing? im guessing its gonna be a low boost one.
