ive never had a "tuning package" done however i have done all they mods you are considering to my last 172. spent a lot gained a bit.
ive got another 172 now. will i do it all again?
yes. power figures alone make it look a waste of money, difference in drivability makes it worth while
i insured my mrs on my ph2 172 the day she passed her test at 17, she cut about in it for 4 or 5 months before we bought the 1.6 16v for her! she was fine, knew id kill her if she marked or kerbed it.
she can drive the ph1 properly too, blips on down shifts too just need to learn her heel and toe!
yeah likely, everyones different obviously but i find the seats in our 1.6 16v dynamique cumfyer than my ph1 seats and i find them cumfyer than my GT seats which ive never warmed to for some reason!
my favourite is the rear picture on that link, the WILLIAMS F1 badge...
open up image in ms paint, click the text button, change colour to gold, type in WILLIAMS F1 pop it on a random location on the boot. there, williams clio exclusive picture!
nope starts boosting from a smudge under 1500rpm and then you get a big kick from 2000rpm when it goes on full boost, i think the 86 just uses a fixed geometry turbo.
