Really nice cars these. I really wanted one when I was 18.

I love it. I'd love to find a mint, standard unabused one. Like this will be when your finished with it. If you decide to sell you will get good monies for it.

Really nice that mate. So many tasty mods available for Evo's too.

Looks great that mate. Really nice MK1.

Insurance prices seem to be getting worse. I got a quote on a ph1 172 for nearly £4K yesterday 20, 3 years licence, 2 NCB. Last year I could get a quote with 1 less of everything (age, experience and ncb) for just under £2K. I'm never paying over £1K for insurance again. I've done it twice...

I'd avoid a authentique personally. My mates just got one and its crap, it doesn't even have a radio display.

I've only ever driven a ph1 172. I keep meaning to try a ph2 to see the difference but I liked the chuckability of the ph1. Whether the 80odd kg weight increase affects it a lot or not I don't know. I personally felt a lot happier with the handling of my ph1 after putting eibach sportline...

I love Ferrari's. I've driven a 355 and it was awesome. Nothing compared to the new ones, the paddle shift was terrible but they're just such a special car. Possibly i'd enjoy a newer one less because they're too refined, albeit probably not.

Thermostat seems a pretty common problem. I'd try that like danny said. Where the plugs definately changed at the service?

I was happy with the ph1 airbox with removed caf's on my 172. I felt it had a bit more response without the standard caf's, they seemed slightly restrictive. I'd be lieing if I said I did it for anything other than the induction noise it gave though.

The cylinder head is different too isnt it? If you've already got a 172 'box in there would it not be easier to just fit an engine from a 1*2 you can pick them up cheap off here from people breaking cars on here. Just an idea. The cars got a lot of potential.

It may look horrific but for £400 I can't think of many ways to go faster for less £. Realistically you could have that out on a track for £1000 in good nick.

Good little story that mate. I hope you have better luck with this one. Love ph1's, good choice getting another.

Looks like it pulls nicely. Exhaust sounds subtle, bit quiet for me but if you like a quiet system then ideal.

Turini's transform the car so much. I hate ph2 wheels, they just ruin the look of the car. As above, clear side repeaters will improve it a lot more too.

Looks amzing that mate.

Glad to hear it mate. Its so much better than reading about broken cars.

My great grandad had one of these. I can't say i'd ever want to own one but it has got potential for the drift scene. Needs boost!

Good project mate. Who cares if it was cat c. Its still going to be fun for you on track.

Seems way low to me. I could get 44mpg out of my 172 if I stuck to 70 on the motorway.

I enjoyed it at Oulton. I liked the drifitng and time attack. I also spent about an hour just walking around the car parks, so much interesting stuff there.

I should be able to make this. Show you all up in the Mazda 323!

Ph1 gearnobs are so much nicer to use than ph2's. Except when its cold because the ph1's get really really cold.

I love the tone of the milltek. They go down a treat with a decat ;)

Lovely that mate.

Those AP's are p**n.

The 182's have taken the biggest hit. This time last year when I was looking at ph1's and cups, a decent cup was at least £4K now you can pick up a very nice example for just over £3k. I'm sure decent examples will still fetch good money but there are also bargins out there.

Is it me or in the last few months have prices really dropped for 1*2's. I sold my ph1 172 in Aprill and looking now I think I would probably get £400 less for it. A good 182 is now into the late £4K's. The drop seems pretty sudden however as we've got into summer. Its making me really...

Cars looking awesome mate. Nice sceneary too.

Got to see the funny side I suppose. Its a bit of a ball ache but can be easily put right.
