Its a diesel too.

Yet again why I keep the standard HU in my car. Who is going to steal a HU with a tape deck.

I wasn't slating it mate. Its a good car. What I meant was its not a 250bhp+ and 250lbft+ properly turbo'd car.

Its a bit of a drive but Fred at BTM Performance gets about as good a reputation as anybody.

I'm undecided on turbos. I want to try a properly boosted car. Only driven two a Clio TCE and dci 86 hardly counts as a turbo car.

Blue and red LED's. Like a police car lol

So true. The N/A 1600cc is dead now. Modern cars are too heavy to be genuinely quick with a N/A 1600cc. Albeit the 2000cc N/A is dead too bar the Clio 200 and CTR i'm stuggling to think of another N/A hot hatch.

They're a very nice car mate. Good choice. My mates got the poverty spec 2.2i one and even that has an awesome spec etc. Build quality wasn't exactly as I expected though. Door handle plastic came off in my hand. Still leaps and bounds ahead of a Clio though.

I'm a big fan of this car mate. Realy like the way your going with it. Wish i'd have modded my 1.2 now.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Micra's don't break though. My Mums got one on a V plate and it drives like new, no rattles at all.

Love that. I love old skool Fords, shame I hate the new ones.

Looks awesome and plans are spot on. That induction kit though :eek: I thought a maxogen was expensive at £300.

Looks to be running very well.

That will certainly pull well. I supose the power will depend on what power the engine is putting out as it is now. Have you thought about matched inlets? Big weak point on the 172.

Yes. The GT doesn't seem to be getting a good name out of it either tbh.

I love it. Its realy pikey, which is cool.

What a tit. However if I had so much cash I don't think i'd be bothered about a parking ticket tbh.

I'll have some on the banana stuff. I'll meet up with you and get it off you if you want. PM me and we'll sort it out. Wouldn't mind some micro fibres either if you can get them.

I like my stealth. It could do with being a bit louder though. I'm thinking decat very soon.

I used to love that about my 1.2, could rag it to the limiter in 1st, 2nd, 3rd and not even be speeding on a 70mph road. My usual redline in 2nd and 3rd then a little push in 4th puts me over 100 in the 172 :dapprove: where as it would be 80 in the 1.2 What do the GT's do in 3rd?

I like your Scooby Gaz. Its comfy, pretty fast and grips well. Its just not as raw as a stripped Clio or Evo. I wanted products too. I have no money untill I get paid on friday though. Does he do mail order Naith? I want that banana stuff.

The car looks mint. Shame its got to go for a 1.2 I will admit you don't appear to be disabled ;)

Looks epic. Love 200's.

Was a great meet. Shame it makes me want to spend £300 on a decat and sportlines though.

I'd say around a fiver. I can collect tomorrow ;)

See everybody at about half 9 ish. Got to clean the car first :approve:

Commitment Martin :hail:

Looks awesome. Must be a bit of a downgrade from the 172 though. I haven't driven one but in standard form they're a fair bit slower. Hows the handling on it?

Looks awesome. Embarrsed its a diesel though? 16V badges.

Looks like a great trip. I wouldn't mind doing it but its a 350 mile drive to dover :(
