What went wrong with it then? May aswell keep it now, otherwise you have lost arounde 4.5K in 9 months.

Sounds like a good price, SS exhaust is a must on a 172 because they just fall off. Hope your happy with it.

Get it to RS Tuning mate, or get Rs tuner. They're the best remaps for 1*2's by all accounts.

Re: CRASHED LAST NITE RAGINGGGG I've made a decision. November to March is officially being changed from Cup Killing Season to Non RS Mk3 Killing Season. Sorry to hear it matey but they're going down like 10 pins atm.

1 should do it i'd think.

Sorry its not a kit but they have the wide front arches, its on the dynamique aswell.

Get it done, its extremely unwise to neglect cambelt changes. For a start it will be very hard to sell in the future if it hasn't been done and you are risking wrecking a almost new 28K engine.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project The valver box is almost brand new aswell so has plenty of life left in it. Are they strong enough to run a 172 engine with mods in the future i.e. ITB's

As above, fog lights would make it look much better. Not meaning to cause offense but the non foglight clio's make the front look ugly to me tbh. Nice car though mate.

Bloody hell thats one dirty Vee

Got to say if i had to choose an hour with either it would be the Vee, if that make me gay then call me michael barrymore.

Looks nice mate, like it.

Looks lovely that mate, i'm not a monaco man myself but i'm warming to it, didn't like flame red at 1st either.

Looks awsome, 1st stripped 197 i've seen.

Lovely example of a 172 that mate.

Good effort that mate. Shame though :( its a shitter when you crash. Will insurance be a problem in the future now after the claim?

+1 The SX kit pretty ugly tbh, complete overkill, the more subtle S kit is lush.

Where did you get the 172 cup one from me wants!

If everything else is mechanically sound on the car then i'd get the work done. To be honest Ian its not worth loosing all the money you spent on the car, and the extra money for insurance for the sake of £400, in the end you will be loads more down than if just got the head gasket done...

Completely different cars tbh. To drive on track or down a B Road i'd choose the Meggy. If i had to have one for everyday it would be the Vee, one of the best looking cars ever tbh, then theres the sound...

I like the black wheels mate. Everybody seems to be going for white wheels on RB now, which is my fav colour tbh but if everybody did it then they would all look the same.

Very nice mate, bloody hell i'd forgotten how high standard 182's are.

Another 1.2 modding can of worms. I personally haven't modded mine because I want to save up for a 172. Plenty have modded non RS's and they have looked even better than RS's tbh i.e. f0xy's MK2, Bloors Mk2, Brembo's MK2, Biohazards Mk3........ Basically if you do it right then you will...

You won't see massive gains unless going to ITB's but modding will change the driving experience i.e. a decat will make it more free revving, remap will smooth power etc.

Ph1 172's are a realy good car if you get a mint condition one. Its an upgrade i'm hoping to make later in the year.

Hmm thats looking like write off material to me, could have done untold damage to the allignment of the car etc. Sorry to hear it though mate, terrible thing happened to me this time last year, back went in the wet, only hit a wall though not too much damage.

Yeh i've forgotten that they still look good in standard form.

Your lucky the airbag didn't go off, thats expensive mate as i'm sure you'll know.

I would mate. Fantastic looking car, and sposed to be good to drive although i haven't driven one so can't comment.

Awsome car tbh. Love it.
