Welcome buddy! Best things for the 1.2's are body colouring, sport wheels and cheapy coilovers.... Low'n'slow ftw! Ps. First time 4 minors :) one of which was for taking racing lines down a country lane. (all on the right side of the road obviously) :cool:

195 is standard on 172's

Intermittent only changes the speed on the first click down :)

If the time ever comes that I need a respray, it's going tobe White. Looks awesome mate. Agree with the others on the side strips though.

But they are lovely :) Edit: they're lovely on a liquid yellow. Not sure how the yellow seats would look with other colours..... Plus, I think they'll be sought after when you come to sell it.

^^^ as long as thebelts have been done (with reciepts to show) by a reputable specialist, then I wouldn't worry. Main things are, as said, belts changed twice as they need doing every 5 years. The second thing is a full dealer/specialist service history. Maintenance is really important with...

Isn't 6800rpm the cold limit? Temperature sensor wrong perhaps?

They are brilliant. Honestly brilliant. As a road tyre, the only thing that comes close overall is the V12.

What's your reason for wanting coilovers? Handling? Looks?

Recaros. The only option that you MUST have IMO.

I have a 172 cup and have changed my shocks too. I'm still pretty certain the cup shocks are different.

^^^ I thought they were different on the cup too....??

Rainsports are also very good. I have them on my car at the moment. I went for the Hankook's over the rainsports on my new wheels simply because they're better on track. On road, both very capable. Not a lot to tell between them. Try www.blackcircles.com They're a tiny bit more expensive, but...

I honestly don't mind the gordini. Get one without the stripes and spec the speedlines and you're on to a winner IMO. Edit: didn't realise they're more than a specced 200.... Don't bother if that's the case.

Loool. I was going to say.... £100 per wheel is expensive??? Hankooks got my money. Great tyre.

Get the stainless.

What's the offset?

Tell them about EVERYTHING IMO. As said, they'll use any b****cks to get out of a claim.

It's not something that people can help you with really... Read what mt sent you and decide for yourself. Some people prefer ported, others sealed.

Mine's in a s**t state at the mo. I bought a Sabelt cup racer wheel in the group buy, but there's a guy on here (can't remember his name) who offers a very very good retrimming service. £150 iirc.

Lol. Well I bought the 172cup instead of a 197 so that I had money to play with it. Wanted something a bit different :) I'll still get the whiteline, just means I'll wait til next month :(

I was only worried about time as my front tyres are past their best. The main thing was the extra £160 But I rang them thismorning and have gone for the ultras. Just needed to know I was doing the right thing :)

You've both clarified what I was thinking.... I was just worrying that I was being stupid paying an extra £160 to save 400g / wheel!

So I've ordered some oz Ultraleggeras, but having spoken to the company I bought them from today, there's going to be another weeks delay in getting them. So my decision is.... Do I wait another week to pay £679 for these Or do I buy these for £519 AND a whiteline ARB, and have...

I fitted mine yesterday.... Pretty sure they're the right way round??

Oh Christ.... I thought this may happen... I know the rainsports are good, I have them on now. I just need to know how they perform on track compared to the hankook....

Yup £100 for the 4. Ta!

Cheers mate! Have you used hankook's at all?

Nope. Ph1 and ph2 are different fitments mate.
