I prefer the 172 5 spokes to the 182 wheels personally.
I think the main reason the 172 wheel are so cheap is
1. Most of them are fucked or at least kerbed. Been a long time since I've seen a really mint set up for sale.
2. A lot of people change them so lots on the market.
I sold my 172...
I put my lights on if it goes a bit dark or the sun is low. Even if it means only one more person in a thousand is going to see you and take notice it's worth it imho.
Just buy any other airbox, put it in and give it a cold air feed. Then call it a home made Maxogen. Completely unsubstansiated and un proven, but the general populus of CS will believe absolutely anything. ;)
Was mid to late '03, dropped to the options list (£200) - Cruise Control was fitted in lieu.
The only people who are likely to haggle over an import now are dealers. It made a difference when the car was newish however.
35 mpg is easiy acheivable. The MPG you get from these cars is fantastic tbh.
You can get a genuine 40 mpg on a run.
And I'd take the 185 bhp figure with a pinch of salt.
Exactly. Oh and Cups are more to insure than FF's.... simply because of the proportion of total loss claims. The winter cull of Cups is the stuff of legend lol
Definitely fuse as close to the battery as possible imho. If you get a short anywhere in the cable between the battery and the fuse in the front.... things could get messy lol
