its worth what its worth to you!!! only you can decide
get a drive see what you think, when I was buying mine at the tail end of last month I looked at a few and because I had one when they were nearly new, none of them (quite rightly so) matched up to the memories of the one I had, so I...
cool beans, bonus that then! I think someone has spent some good cash on this at some point but more recently its fell into the wrong hands and been abused, its been run low on oil at some point so I had to change an engine on it about a month before I bought it off the guy!
I assume a silenced decat would never go thru an mot like this did though? as I tried to mot a decatted 172 a few years ago to chance my luck and it was no where near
looks like ive got a sports cat then! im sure ive saw a manufacturer who puts plaques on their exhausts and I cant remember who...

its years since ive been under a ph2 172 but im sure this looks different to what I remember and it seems to have a little plaque tack welded onto it but I cant see if it says anything due to the angle.
I know its not a silenced decat as it passed an mot no problem (after a lambda sensor!!)
Well s**t got serious today, it failed its MOT on 2 track rod ends, a cheap fix they say...

2 track rod ends
2 inner track rods
2 182 cup extra castor bottom arms
172 cup front dampers
182 cup rear dampers
4x ARB bushes
Eibach sportlines
new top mounts.
Spax adjustables with...
I made the swap, 200 is better in every way IMO apart from fuel consumption.
of course IMO, although if you look at my profile im now back in a ph2 172! bang for buck of course the 172 is miles better value but that depends on your situation, a year ago I could afford to spank that sort of cash...
65/80's are awesome with next to no lag, tuned up 80's fly around town!!!
I quite liked the laggyness on the 100 once mapped as it was followed with that big clutch breaking torque band! (mine did a clutch in no time lol)
mine was an absolute heap, but it was just a dodgey car.
id have another one no problem, what I will add is I agree with people above, the MPG vs performance is not good at all, HOWEVER... MPG vs fun? they are brilliant
no one will know what the engine will take, personally I wouldn't want to be pushing it past much more than just a simple remap will get!
I know there is a few guys in other parts of Europe running 140 odd bhp and 220lbft from these engines with just a strong map!
