3 good colours on the 172, blacks the runt of the litter.

Yep, only the cups came without the engine covers. Alan (dweeemy) is right.

Fred, I'll come over and you can have a go in mine. I'll wait at yours, I'm a bad passenger:dead:.

Not on those wheels. Get some black turini's, or compomotive mo

The ast's are uber stiff in the high setting ali, undriveable on 6 for the road, bit soft on zero. Settled on 1 front, 2 back. Looking forward to bedford, 12 clicks all round and r888's!

If you're free on sunday, I'm in the area if you want to have a ride/drive.

They're dead mate, was chatting to the owner, hardly any work on at the moment. Been a few times, never seen the workshop so quiet, and no cars outside (normally both full).

Normal mate. When I changed my discs, a tiny bit of rain fell and the rust spots appeared immediately.

Love the way that in 2 mins I can adjust all the dampers and the car feels completely different. Hopefully the adjstable top mounts will be ready soon.

I wasn't too fussed with the colour until I saw one up close, looks very nice IMO. In all honesty, if you drive one after a 182 you won't care about the colour.

Wasn't there meant to be a magazine test done (someones car off here) to show which was most effective?

Who's doing yours?

Don't worry, won't be going there for the work. They did pass me through the MOT though.

Horizon in cradley heath, lotus/tvr specialists. £90+vat to fit braided lines (with me supplying the lines).

How ridiculous is £1600? I couldn't keep the smile of my face.

Had my mot done today, walked it, just needed a rear bulb doing. Thought I might get a quote for the paintwork I need doing (see below). £1600. Roughly double every otherv quote I've had. Jokers, lost my custom for good.

I recently got coilovers. Went for ast in the end, 50 quid more than h&r, but adjustable damping and a rear coilover, which no one else makes iirc. Awesome, especially on 15's

So do the sidemounts get mounted onto a cobra subframe?

Never understood the point of all this slamming stuff, this just proves how pointless it is. Why not get the suspension set up for handling so you can enjoy driving it rather than admiring the way it looks. Beached on top of a speed bump.

Great kit, good luck with the sale.

What seats do you have mark?

Was thinking cobra suzuka?

Ali has fixed buckets using standard belts, he might be able to help.

Mondial, Flame, Monaco all equal IMO. Iceburg's nice, but a bit boring. Blacks awful, just makes the car look very flat.

Looks like a corsa from the front.

When I was deciding which coilovers to go for, a few people mentioned the h&r's being a bit soft at the back. If you speak to curtis at powerstation (AST suppliers) he can do some stiffer rear springs (Burp has them).

Anyone else got them fitted?

Wouldn't use harnesses for everyday use.

All good cars. From my point of view, for the price of a semi decent ph2 (4.5-5k) I've got a ph1 on awesome coilovers, and (soon) some reclining buckets. If you've not driven a Trophy or coilovered 172, you'll be more than happy with a standard ph2. Where are you based?
