ph1's are quicker ;)

Looks good mate. Colour coding, coilovers and some nice alloys would look realy good.

Looking good martin. Whens your next car coming then?

Oh, didn't know they did them without TC or ESP. I prefare a car without the electronics.

Thought you had a PH2? They have ESP don't they?

I'm definately going this year. Just need to finish tarting up the 172.

Its so annoying driving in snow. You have to be feather light with all steering, accelerating, braking, changing gear etc. Fronts spin up very easily if your a bit over eager with the clutch but i've generally been fine. If you drive carefully its not too bad.

Looks great mate. Can't wait for my sportlines fitted.

Thank god I was getting frustrated just reading it.

Pics of the fridge? A fridge in a car is so cool (no pun intended) Realy nice car though. Big luxurious comfy barge.

Gutted mate. Terrible road conditions this tiem of year.

That looks spot on mate. I've seen an identical one at a local dealers.

Flux are your friend. Insured me on my 172 with mods no problem. I'm only 19. £1300 btw.

Good torque output mate. Well above the RS's. Would you not be better off with the standard induction setup?

Looks very good. I'm realy tempted by the price of those cams. If it will put out a real 200ish bhp its a major bargin. What does everybody else think?

I didn't mod my 1.2 atall. Since i've got my 172 i've done a few mods, only subtle though. Exhaust, PH2 rear lights, Sportlines (not fitted yet). I've got other smaller things like silvervisions, flat wipers etc. I think i'll just be slowly adding mods over the time I have it. A mod can stop...

Also you have to leave the car running for a good few minute while defrosting etc. A cold engine is more innificient too. I'm sure the autochoke will be on for longer too. My 172 doesn't idle well when cold, its very lumpy, i notice this lasts longer in this whether now rather that when its...

Typical of people in this country. I mean how dare you stop to help him and then refuse to potentially damage an engine you have just paid to have rebuilt. I'd have been too angry for words.

Was the Astra crap then?

I want heated seats!

Yozzasport with a decat is extremely loud. Been in a car with that setup. Also miltek with centre silencer removed and decat is loud. Both sound very nice.

I've got TR1's on the front of mine. I'm happy with them. I think i'm going to get some on the back too rather than the P6000 ditch finders. Its about £15 to a tyre to get them fitted though :/ so it puts them up to PE2 price fitted at Costco.

Re: 20 3 years experience no no claims no one will touch me who are you all insured w Good result mate. Where about in the north west you from? you going to be coming to the meets?

Looks mint Chris. My 172 hasn't moved today. Theres people crashing everywhere around my way i'm not joining them.

Realy like your car mate.

Gutted for you mate. Shame so many panels are damaged. You will be able to sell plenty of bits still though. Glad your all ok though.

I find my 172 economical aslong as your not in traffic around town all the time. Over 40mpg on A roads and motorways is easily achieveable aslong as you don't go over 80.

Why buy a brand new hot hatch to drive it only 25 miles a week. Get it driven!

I'd go for the mini. 200's are lovely and a great car but personally i'd go for a change for my next car probably something boosted for a change, hence the mini.

I'm jelous. We have no snow here.
