^^^ all this stuff is forgotten with a flick of the right ankle. Serious guys lifes too short for working out fuel consumtion figures! ;) Seriously tho a 172 isnt going to cost that much more than any other car to run, I dont know where people are getting the idea that 172s are high...

take it to kwik fit or something. Two guys took 1/2 an hour to do mine that was with special long spanners etc. You can do it on your own its not *that* hard but for £25 Id rather let someone else have the stress!

They make you laugh. My handover monkey when I picked my 172 up said that hes written off a 172, and also that driving with the ESP on (its on by default) reduces MPG by half!! I was laughing at him!

I agree, 172 vs 182 arguments are pointless. The 182 is an evalution of the 172 and so should be better in every way. Thats how cars work!

Williams m8

Im down to one rattle at the moment, coming from the ESP button surround so not doing too bad ;)

£129 for the mats aaaahahahahahaha they are Market quality! Mine have warn through in 10k. Deffo get a refund on those and get some autostyle ones!

Im with jilly on this one, they are right up there with 3 spokes and venoms

yeah it strange how you get used to seeing something fugly and then you start to like it. When the current clio first came out I remember thinking the back end was awful

see if you have a local branch of "dixon Hall" they specialise in fixings

youd be very lucky to sell that plate for anything over the transfer fee. Maybe if it was R3 BOK or R33 BOK but Reebok dont have an 8 in it ;) Plates have to be very special cos they are only worth what someone will pay for them. Ive been on the lookout for a plate for ages and whenever someone...

hear good things about magnex, performance gains will be minimal unless you decat and/or remove the rest of the silencing (LOUD!!)

dont loose any sleep about insurance m8, a decat will be the last thing they check for (if they check for anything!) Ive got a janspeed decat on my mk2 and its the best £100 youll ever spend on performance. The fitting on the janspeed is not bang on and it does require some tie wrapping to...

yawn. 182 IS better than any 172. FFS if it isnt then heads would be rolling at renno. Its evolution, deal with it!

which light is it m8?

Just one for all you cleaning enthusiasts. I got this proper good thing this weekend which makes chammying 100 times easier & quicker. Its a silicome squeegee, so just after youve rinsed the car down you squeegee it to get rid of all that surface water then you shammy whats left. Washed and...

gearing on the 172 fairly short anyway. Your doing about 4000 rpm in 5th at 80. If anything it could use a 6th cruising gear

Decats ARE NOT illegal If they tested your emmisions at the roadside and you failed that would be illegal but the act actually removing the cat and driving without it is NOT ILLEGAL. Anyone ever been done dor "driving without a catalytic converter"? Ive never heard of it.

if you want a track day toy get a proper one! You can get a 3/4 finished caterham or something for about 3 grand, no offense to williams owners but a caterham would be 200% more fun and probably cheaper to run as well

yeah I would get janspeed. The 2nd lamda sensor is in the wrong place but no big deal

This ramgarger aint available for the 172. I waited about 2 months after its supposed release date to get one but its never come out! Got an open piper X instead now

172 has some of the best seats you can get, you should have no probs

Delerium - Silence always does it for me. Loads of classy trance stuff like Tiesto and Van Buuren, cant beat it for driving

They mooved some aircon pipes on mine that seemed to cure it but now its back. Booking it in again soon

I do 5 days a week with no car cos the chick has it!
