Enjoy the car and don't crash it. Add a CS sticker and Silvervisions. The you'll be in the club ;)

Adrian Flux. Mine was £1300 tpft at 19 with 2ncb.

I removed mine all together. I doubt the caf provides any cold air unless its being sucked through it by the airbox. When using a V6 or ph1 airbox that collects air from infront of the battery intake temperatures are only 2-3 degrees over ambient temperature @ 60mph according to JMS's thread.

It would be a shame to see the 172 go after all the work you've put into it. However a FRS would be an awesome replacement.

Re: Insurance. Fookers! (young 172/182 owners look in) Hence why i'm giving up driving for a year or two while i'm at uni in Salford.

Megane all the way. Boost ftw. Will the 172 be staying?

197's main downfall is the fuel consumption. Its rivals like the MCS will do 45mpg official combined figure. On a motorway run 40mpg plus was very easily achieveable in my 172.

Bit of a shitter that mate considering you haven't had it a week. Problem is the F4R is a whiney engine when perfectley heathy so its hard to notice faults sometimes.

Better without cup suspension anyway. More coilover options. KW2's and white 2118's would make this car awesome. Lovely car as it is though. Enjoy it mate.

Budding environmentalist aren't you Chirs?

PH1's are the best 172. Fact.

Could you not just save up and ITB the 182? If you used second hand ITB's then you could do it for £2Kish.

Thats the right answer Jamie. I like you car, it looks mint.

Don't worry about mileage. To be honest if I was to buy another 172 I wouldn't care whether it had been to the moon and back. Generally the same things will need replacing any way and the engines are strong if maintained. I doubt you will get a FSH <60,000 mile ph1 for £2K. Chances are if its...

Not worth chucking £800 at a £150 car. I'd just leave it as it is, build up some no claims and some clean driving history.

I had Eibach sportlines on my 172 and found them excellent. I'd also recommend the JMS induction setup, will make the car feel a lot better than the standard induction setup. Those mods would go down well with your yozza. Should cost you less than £300 too. RS Tuner remap would also...

Looks superb. So well repaired after your accident. Fair play to you pal.

Reminds me I need to order my ticket. I'm hoping I don't turn up in a Micra but its looking likely.

I'd upgrade but maybe not to something as expensive to insure as an RS Clio. I've just sold mine because i'm going to uni in September. I could have kept it but expensive tax, insurance, consumables and repairs meant i'd be much better off financially with something a bit cheaper...

Cars sold as seen. Plus he got a 182 for £2.5k. For that price i'd be happy to just get one that moved atall.

I'm going. Its my birthday so me and little bro will be going. 1) platty - black 182. 2) tim- ly 182 3) max- mini cooper jcw 4) jamie rigby - ITBd fiesta ZS 5) f0xy (if his cars mapped by then) 6) arran_182 bg 182 7) Brett - errrrrrmmmmmmm? Pass. Maybe my Mums bright yellow 1.3 Micra.

Very nice Teg mate.

Iggy's are awesome. Hopefully be looking for one next week myself.

The video's wrong. The best Clio is the PH1 172. Fact ;)

Well my only experience of a dCi is my gf's mums. Its 54 plate 50 odd thousand miles, owned from new and properly maintained. She's had numerous problems, alternator, injectors etc. I just know a few people off here have had problems with them and I think its because when they do break it...

Gutted its a right pain when this happens. Happened to my uncle a couple of days before he traded his car in about 8 years ago too. Glad your ok though mate, thats all that counts. I'll be extra careful with mine now as i'm selling it on Sat.

Good effort. They're not called ph-quicks for nothing.

Petrol. The dCi's have a reputation for breaking. If they do its usually expensive to fix!

Thats superb.

Could try and get them second hand if your patient they come up on here fairly often. I got mine second hand. Very happy with them.
