Looks and sounds fantastic mate.

Good upgrade, I plan on doing the same in 6 months time.

The 172 will make a far better daily driver. However that Williams is stunning, so much more aggresive looking than the 172.

Looks good mate. Exhaust tips not for me though.

Thats great mate. God knows why they used that blue in the Ph1's.

I'd go for a ph1 172 or VTS if you want FWD. For some RWD fun an MX5.

Excellent Valver that mate. Its in mint condition, no rust atall but that will be due to the good weather you get in Portugal. 156bhp is good aswell, must be a good strong engine, especially after the rebuild.

Good read that. The poor standard exhaust note is why so many owners add aftermarket systems then they sound very good imo. When you say about the lack of torque being like a 1.2, have you driven a 1.2 recently? All of the 1*2's i've been in, have felt 10 times more torquey than a 1.2...

Enjoy it mate, it will be a huge upgrade.

That Kieran23 is an idiot, going on about how great his 1.25 Fiesta is. "The thing is my 1.25fiesta zetec mk5, no less can out handle pretty much anything i come up across when im driving, but thats down to the driver." It catches a few people out when you drop it into 3rd about 60 and take...

Two of them where argueing over what is better a 182 or 197, I can't believe that can of worms even gets opened on other marques forums. Some of them on that site talk sence, the astra in a straight line unless it is wet or even damp, the clio in the corners. I'd say that the straight line...

Looks realy good mate. Did you get it off a member on here? I'm sure i've seen this car before. Was it 182racingblue or something?

Looks fantastic mate.

Presuming thats because its cheaper and its all about profits with driving expereince days. What did petrol do Yozzasport use in their cars?

Yozzasport, Ktec, Milltek etc all use 2.5" bore on their 1*2 exhausts. They're all specialists so i'd trust the their professional judgement.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Nearly there Jord. You've certainly been keeping hammerite from going bust this last month. It will be worth doing it properly though. When you looking to have it running? because getting it running correctly and iorning out niggles could take a week or two?

I wouldn't say your a sheep for this car, it looks fantastic with the black turini's. Imo it needs to be lower though, coilies needed.

Good turnout. The 197's are a realy good looking car.

Not reading the thread before posting ftl.

All it needs is the laguna V6 lump now ;)

Spot on so far mate carry on imo.

Losing the power steering then? I'd like to put my 1.2 on the rollers, for the bragging rights of lowest bhp in the NW ;)

Enjoy it mate, great upgrade.

Whats the handling like on the ST170's compared to your Cup. I've heard that they handle well ST170's.

Legend. If theres one thing I love about this forum its how you can't mention a woman without "Pics of..." :approve:

It looks like a bargin to me mate. Its been owned by a chav obviously, and I wouldn't like the idea of the cut bumper either however providing its had its belts done i'd take it.

PH2 172's are classed as some by too "soft" compared to 172 Cups, PH1 172's and 182s. However with a good set of coilovers, the 172 will be ahead of the others because there isn't realy a great deal of difference. I'd also consider a remap, matched inlets and decat for your 172. It will...

I'm not sure about the changer but he said his 1.2 16v had climate and xenons.

Lol why's that? is chris after it himself or something?

The lack fo heat thing sounds expensive though Ian, because it rules out the fuse option. Also Ian, as Joe says the belts will cost a couple of hundred quid if not done. £1400 sounds good but it could need a fair few £100 spent on it.
