£1200 is a lot:eek:

lol @ the tomatoes

True....insuring in your own name is the way to go. Still can't believe people pay over a grand for insurance on 172/182s though...when I was in my early twenties I drove a crap, underpowered 1.4 escort lol

Supra pretty reliable if looked after....if they go wrong though (turbo) your talking big bucks.

I've had no problams with my 02 172 (touch wood) and it's a very cheap car to run. Brought outright - no finance £350 a year to insure 40/45mpg on the motorway Only problem is the 72k/5yr service coming up:(

7k:eek: That's a lot! I modified my last car but just got bored of it.....there's always someone with more money and a 'better' car anyway so you end up chasing your tail and wasting money. Quite happy to leave my 172 as it is:D

Does seem to be the filter of choice on here but TBH K&N & Green panels are just as good.

Loss of torque and a really lacklustre engine in the summer with an open kit BMC or Maxogen probably okay though.

Cosmetic As I keep saying, the suspension turrets are so close to the bulkhead to make any difference.

Rubbish

Yeah....even worse when you take the seats out

I sometimes wish I had something a bit more suited/quiet for motorway driving.....it's this which the 172/182 really doesn't do well at.

Yep.....I see more cups around than standard 172 Mk2s

11k for that heap lol

Good luck...hope you get it fixed

I do miss my car if I haven't driven it for a while.

Both those cars are f**king rubbish....yet again more cars I'd happily take the hammer to.

Can't go wrong with ITG, K&N or Green panel filters

K&N and Green panels just as good....cheaper too

Get on an buy it

Would be much better getting a cone and securing that behind the foglight in the wheel arch area and using mesh over the foglight to let air through but to stop debris/stones. Pretty different though

Welcome to CS Glad it's going back to stock....looks like that bumper has seen better days.

2002 cars are going to need cambelts this year so worth factoring in when you haggle for a lower price.

Tidy

In other words you might as well buy a Megane Sport:D lol @ weemans RR

You get what you pay for.

Sure that would be okay....not sure who is organizing the meet though. Can't miss my 172.....have WKD on my plate.

Apparently not well spaced though. Never going to buy one anyway even though I do love the look of them...I'll just stick with the cheap a** 172 for now.

The BMC is good but much more ££££s than the panel

K&Ns are good along with Green and ITG I've got a Green panel in my 172 which is pretty similar to the K&N....I chose it due to reccomendations from friends who run/tune Subarus and use them frequently without problems. Also cheaper than ITG:D
