I thought to put 2 cm spacers on all four wheels (195/45/16)...now will there be any improvement or not? is there any downside of putting spacers?
so basically any info by guys who have them on their 172
thanks!
My shield behind the engine is in a very bad condition, so will it be a problem regarding noise/heat if i just remove it? or any other soultion?
thanks

Today i noticed when the car is running in neutral and i move the steering wheel a kind of "wuush" sound, if i turn the wheel left or right, or on full lock, no matter it does that "wuush"-ing sound, something similar to a turbo or air induction system sound. the steering is normal when you...
I gave up the cheaper option of coilovers for my 172, now i can have for a good price these two:
KW Variant 1
Eibach pro street
So has anyone had them, or has them, which are allround better in all segments (stiffnes, lowering, quality...)

hello, my back bumper got damaged, so i wondered could i fit a rear bumper from a non-sport (1999-2000).
i have a 172 2000, so is there any difference in the looks of the bumper and fittment?
What would be better "looking" for an exhust system that has a pipe on the rear silencer diameter 63 or 70 mm :
1. cut the rear bumper and than fit it in the hole
2. put it under the bumper
If someone has some pics...thanks!

Hi, a friend of mine has also a sport 172, so he is concerned with some strange noise.
you can hear it when the car is in neutral position, when the temp needle is in the middle (warmed up) the sound can't be heard inside of the car, only outside. it's like a sik-sik-sik-sik sound (something...
