You know, thats the second time I've done that to someone, ignored perfectly good advice without even meaning to, it was as if it was actually invisible to me... Sorry :( Cheers though :) A question for you/fred are the Samco options BIG dolla?

I see a theme, must be the Northern "volcano air" messing with your minds.

Tom, I made up a solution, I'll show you on Thursday, thats what I was going to post up :)

Not overly, I believe the v6 has a bigger internal diameter, and only one large air feed, as opposed to the ph1's two smaller feeds. After extensive testing by JMS, they discovered the V6 box to give the best results out of the two.

Ph2 rear is staying, as said I've always wanted a ph1 172 like this. The green on the wheels won't stay for ever, but it's not going to be the first thing I have done, as I quite like the look of the car atm, they will go silver/anth when I fancy a change.

Are you talking to me fred? Who's Tim? Can you get me green hoses? x

Really like it, bit crazy and disorganised at the moment, but with a bit of work it'll look superb when it all ties in together. :)

Are they the only colours you will be offering?? So never any chance of green? I only ask as its an upgrade I'd really like to do, but would only really want green.

Good effort Nick, when you put the sub hole in the box you can seal the inside too, just to get a good seal :) Looks really nice though, as long as you don't screw up the sub hole, and carpet it well, you'll be fine ;)

Ok, so less of an "update" per sé, but more of a combination of all of my recent threads... (I've neglected the project thread a bit and I want to this car to really be mint when I've finished with it) Since my last update and in order: The car made quite a trip up to the lakes, after over 900...

It depends on the age of the ph1, but I'm 99% sure all ph1 172's are new enough that yeah its a straight swap, even when not its only drilling a few holes to change the shape of the slots. :)

Why hello.... I bought my car with a BMC CDA on it, and had never driven another 172, the car felt very fast etc, but when I changed to the v6 airbox setup, the difference was very noticeable, my exhaust is so loud I could hear no difference between the two kits tbh, so I was pretty confident...

Hey there mate.

Can you by any chance get them in green? (Pretty please)

I'll get some shots of mine tommorrow for you mate, I'll try make them as detailed as possible. I can't make out much from your image.

How funny you should say that, I was considering luminous green RS writing as I was doing it and someone has just put up a link to a full set of hoses for the 1*2, but they don't come in green (yet), it'd be a good way to spend 150 though IMO. lol!

I'd of had that if you weren't so far away!

You can hide the amp anywhere, just means running a bit more cable if you want it out of the boot, an easy place to put it is on the sidewall of the boot, I used a bit of laminate floor, bolted that to the side of the boot and then screwed the amp to that. Amps are only tiny, and won't...

It was worth a cheeky offer, not for me though, GL with the sale mate, :)

6x9's on a stealth shelf with a small amp in the boot to run them? I've recently added my 6x9's to the Clio, the difference in bass is unreal, takes up barley any boot space, and is realtively cheap :)

I was hoping your problem was the same, but mine locks, just doenst unlock, I hope its just one of the rods needs re-connecting or whatever.

I'll give you 1k plus my ph1 ;)

Its missing some black bits off the front bumper, which often arent replaced/are sprayed over when the bumper is resprayed.

Naughty. Hopefully it'll all sort itself out mate, sounds like you had a nice day anyways :)

If its standard you could probably just pick up a spare cheap enough on here. If not most good wheel places would match it up as best as possible for around £50

Join the club on the preferring the ph2 rear ;)

Awesome Mike, see you soon mate. :)

TBH, I'd say you assume wrong, Renualt paint isn't exactly known for its durability. There is an easy way to check for sure, whip a wheel off, and measure the bolt spacing on the suspension IIRC, cup packs are different to normal.

You can have first refusal when I sell to get my trophy Unless the deal is sweetened by "extras"? ;)

As Marky said, if the wheels were factory standard, then it has the Cup suspension pack, but has no Cup spoiler pack.
