    Does anyone know the exact different between Mk.1 172 gearbo

    cant find any details unfortunately. as far as I know it is simply a service upgrade.. ie - the mk2 box is slightly more durable.

    How to leave a cup for dead in a ’top of the range&#146

    Hi Guys, yes, the final drive IS the difference. It would keep uoi spot on the power band and produce more torque at the wheels. (One of the problems of the 172 is that reno made second gear able to pull 100 kph.. (62mph) for magazine tests. you would need to snick it into 3rd earlier, but...

    Williams & 16V differences

    ok, you decide how much you think is fair.. and I WILL get 10 2ltr lumps @ 140 BHP - 150 each.. but with 188 Nm torque... but the starting price (NEW UNITS !!) would be £1350 each.. without fitting.. seems like a nice conversion
