Good seats for a start.
I can't see why your recommending he gets an expression when a dyanmique is hardly any more expensive yet has extra features such as the seats, body coloured mirrors etc.
Its a spec up for a reason.
Thats 100% True. A member on here took me out in his 172 cup with ktec stealth and it was realy quiet driving normally and when he booted it it sounded epic.
When I make the jump to a 172 stealth with decat is top on my purchase list.
Thats terrible. Must be something pretty big to do that much damage. Realy, realy feel for you.
Some people are complete w*****s thats more than just a scuff, they should be ashamed.
+1. Mine at 80 in 3rd is pushing to around 6400ish rpm its literally just about to hit the limiter. Its best to change up at 70 realy.
Mine will evenually pull to 100 in 4th too. Gutless in 5th though.
It wouldn't bother me if I had a loud exhaust. However I won't put one on my 1.2 because its all noise no go tbh. If I had a sporty car then yes, but on a shopping trolley with a small engine no. All imo of course.
Coilovers to improve the boat like handling as standard.
Decat and exhaust, an IK setup and then a remap. That should be good for around 125-130bhp on a sensible map.
Then you can go down the stripping route etc if wanted.
Yeh because criminals normally crash stolen cars into peoples cars they don't like or maybe, just maybe they where going to fast trying not to get caught and did it by accident.
Sorry to see though mate, its a write off imo. Hope you don't lose your NCB.
Why sell a car with a brand new box for a start. The next one you get may not have warranty then its box could go and you wont be happy.
I'd just get the scratch and dent sorted, slow down and you'll be onto a winner.
Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project
Main think is it is running. Definately sounds like its hitting the cold limiter though. Its at around 6200rpm on the RS's isnt it.
It will fly when its allowed to get to its peak power.
Your right with that Chris. Service history is a must. I'm after one in august and i'm dreading trying to find a good one. I'll probably mither you for advice becuase you know your still on the ph1's.
How easy is it to replace the mounts etc? Have you done your own?
