I've only ever noticed a delay of the FBW when NOT in gear and revving the engine. Never noticed lag at any other time.

Ph1 suspension knocks and bangs just as much as ph2... ask iPap.. The FBW throttle is fine. Have you ever driven one? At least my throttle cable's never snapped.....;)

:o

No I didn't. I said if YOUR ph1 was faster than MY ph2 I'd bare my arse in Woolworths window. Seeing as my car is modified and yours is (was) off the road I figured I was safe!! :approve:

PMSL!! I'm running out of fingers to count on here!! How many more bites!! Inferiority complex? ;) So are you now trying to tell me that Ph1's are more reliable now too!! LOL!!

It's what certain Phase 1 172 owners have rather humourously decided to moniker their car.

Not Phucking likely!

PhQuick. hmm not sos ure about that.. quickest standing 1/4 by a Phase 1.. ;) How about PhUgly or PhOld? ;)

Got the mail, cheers edde

My 172 has been like that from new, and actually got worse after a 4 wheel alignment. :s

?

Is it a big job?

Never had anything like that... although mines blowing like billy-o!!

I think they'd look good if there wasn't a recess for a full sized plate in the bumper. As it is, I think that looks gash. each to their own.

lol Thought so. You fit them and I'll give you as much Grolsch* as you can drink. Deal? *or Carling, Sol, Coors Fine Light, Caffreys, Worthington, Brew XI, KorenWolf Gulpener, Breaker, Reef.... ermmm

I think you're the nicest person in the world Fred. Suave, sophisticated, good looking, hung like a horse and good at your job. Hows that? PS.. Do you drink beer?

he was on about the ph1 172 doing 145.

I was making the point of the gear ratios being shorter in general. If your phase 1 is quicker than my phase 2 I'll bear my arse in Woolworths window. I'm willing to bet there wouldn't be gnats c**k between them.

No, spring and damper rates were also 'improved'. Depends what you like I guess.

How much will you fit them for dude?

There's a few people on here that run it, but they are unable to talk right now as they are at the dentist having their teeth glued back in.

I prefer a gearbox that gets me to 135 quickly, rather than taking forever to get to 145!! When do you ever do 145mph?! I found the ph1 sluggish in 4th and 5th. Just too long. And xenons are the bomb. I don't think they are necessarily any more effective than standard headlamps, but they...

4k rattle!! Mucho embarrassment and f**king annoying too. Mine went on a 350 mile trip to Cornwall.... grrrrr!!

Cheers guys... I wasn't intending too. TBH I'm surprised I need new discs AND pads on the rear after just 24k..... although I am a bit heavy on the brakes sometimes.

I paid £160 brand new inc brake light. UNPAINTED!! lol. Luckily I got it sprayed for nowt!!

So £330 is a bit steep then. lol. Will try my local F1 place for a quote when I pick it up.

Speaking of PC's have you still got one for sale shaun?

Cars in for 24k service today, just got a call from the service manager..... "Your rear pads are 95% worn and so are your discs. We can get the discs for you today from leicster. The price is £330" So I politely told him to put an advisory on the service sheet and I'll get them sorted...

Oh and apologies to ross for having a sticker on mine. I know he doesn't like it. But I don't want to take it of for fear of leaviong a nasty mark.
