i had a mint low mileage williams 3 years ago, then after a few other cars i bought a brand new 172 cup, then after a few scoobs i am now in a ph1 flame red 172, have to say i have been really really impressed with it, great little car, drives spot on, has new shocks and eibach springs...
looking at a cat back for my ph1, looked on you tube and on here for sound and opinions, and im leaning towards the ktec recessed supersport, sounds nice, looks good. other contenders were btb and yozzasport, btb maybe too quiet, yozza maybe too loud?? what would u get?
yeah id spend another 700 or 800 pounds and get a good one with service history, quite a few around. i paid 1800 for mine good history well looked after by an enthuisiast who is on here. new shocks and eibach springs on it, that one looks like trouble.
from what iv heard the ph1 172 makes the best gains as they have the worst standard casts from the factory, the later cars especially the r s stamped ones have the best and therefore make the least gains.
makes no odds, its a 2.0 16v engine, not a highly tuned turbo car thats been mapped specifically for v power like my old impreza, the 172 runs just fine on normal unleaded. save your money.
i bought my red ph1 172 a few weeks back, full mot, 6m tax, excellent condition, brand new shocks and eibach springs fitted by previous owner, new discs and pads, mint interior, 104k, documented history, had just been serviced, drives perfect, i paid £1800, which i thought was great value for...
i paid 1800 for my ph1 172, had it a month, cracking car, owned a williams 3 and a cup in the past, wanted something cheap and quick to run around in and eventually track, think they are great value at the moment if u buy a well looked after example, and they are great fun to drive, williams...
i think the gains from the inlets make it the next must do mod tbh, from what iv read on here the ph1 inlets are the worst of the bunch so a nice ported set should make it a worthwhile mod.
yeah i have pm'd tom at jms about getting upper and lower inlets as i need them posting as too far away from me. exhaust is unknown cat back stealth system.
8-) lol. a k&n replacement filter in the airbox. could be the start of a slippery slope. car has new 172 cup shocks and eibach springs just fitted, but this is my first mod since i bought it couple of weeks ago. so what next, matched inlets and a decat?
been going to falkland for years, taken my clio 16v, williams, cup and 3 imprezas there for work, always been spot on, been going for over 15 years. ask for kev.
iv just bought a k&n panel filter for my ph1 172 airbox, maxogen would be nice but funds dont allow atm. on ebay new for £30 just now from a powerseller, bargain.
