Fair enough, what engines going in yours next then?

Great advice :rolleyes:

I've recently got a normal steath. It was boomy at first but has quietened down now, an awful lot. I'm thinking I'm going to be needing a decat soon.

Gutted mate. I'd hate to see my 172 like that.

Looks stunning.

Big improvement. Looks how it should of from the factory. Far too high as standard.

21+ on 1*2's. With regards to the OP i'd recommend improving your driving qualifications. I did the Institute of Advanced Motorings test and got a 25% reduction on my insurance premium off Flux on my modded 172. It will realy help both financially and in the standards of your driving, it...

To be fair, the cost of getting the K4M to 140bhp is pretty high compared to a ph1 172 for a track car is pretty high. I'm not having a go at your car mate, I like it, nice to be different but your car is stripped etc, compared to a stripped 172 it would obviously be slower as 170bhp plays 140bhp.

Some of my mates do take the piss. To be honest not one mate of mine is into cars, other than "I want a 1.6 Focus"....... I realy wish one of my mates was as into cars as me.

I'd buy a 182. I know your car is modded and will be completely different from a standard 1.2 but when I upgraded to my 172 it felt like a completely different car, more solid, much better to drive generally. You love your current car but maybe its time for a change.

Sell it. Simple. It makes a better and cheaper track car than a heavily tweaked 1.4 16v or 1.6 8v does it not?

I'd put 182 interior in personally. Its nicer than the 172's seats imo.

Definately not.

Why bother with a 1.4 16v when you can get a ph1 172 for anything from £1500+.

I think it looks awsome. Always liked the 200, for £13K they're a good buy too, options knock the price up a fair bit though but they're essential.

Love it apart from the stickers.

2 - 1.2 Clio and the 172.

Looks awsome. I'd like mine done like that tbh.

Looks like a good turnout. Awsome cars too.

Not a fan.

Its a stunner. Need some ktec coilies in my life tbh.

Only a complete idiot would buy that at £3950. It doesn't even look well done, 17's on a track style car doesn't make sense for a start.

Thats in mine too, the fully synthetic stuff.

At the minute i'm using 95ron. There are mixed opinions on it though, If I got the car mapped for 98 ron then i'd obviously use that but as my car's engine is standard apart from a stealth i'm happy with 95ron.

What a chav. At least he is enthusiastic though.

Fair enough, as long as you lose no money on it then you've got a free car for 8 weeks.

The 182 Cup owners defensiveness says it all imo. Are you justifying your car to us or yourselfs?

I think i'm going to go for the ktec coilies early next year. Simply because you get the new dampers too and they have a good reputation on here. With regards to the stealth, i'm glad I got the silenced centre section one. It sounds nice imo, however it is very boomy between 3 and 4K, i've...

True, a mate had one with his laguna, it was a 53 plate and the key card was nakered, had to be taped up etc. Both keys on my ph1 are mint and they're 9 years old.

Awsome mate. Love your car.
