so if it were say between....
phase 1 172 in basic standard form with exhaust and coilovers
vs
a stripped valver/172 hybrid
what would you guys reckon as an only car but to only really be used on weekends
ali - you reckon coilovers ruined your 172? i would have thought the handling would have been so much better, as you may have read thats what i would have planned for the ph1 172.
as with your fear of bush, i wouldn't ever think that of a willy (great line that lol), my valver seemed planted...
yer i know, well i have always said it will need to be something a bit special to go back to mark 1, something like a highly tuned hybrid, a 172 conversion or a turbo.
well i think if i do decide to change it will be when/if i move which will be in the new year, i am looking to move within non car commuting distance of work so a weekend toy would be the plan, we will see i spose,
may have changed my mind by then though, who knows, i am sure rides in various...
lol............well you know you were talking about selling it........maybe..
i dunno if i was just be haisty, perhaps i should persist and coilover the 172, maybe that will do it
yep deffo, it was damp and a tad muddy that i didn't know about til i was on it
i had a spin a few weeks ago on an a road, the back end just went, not even a sign of it going, it just wipped, eagles on the fronts, p600's on the rear.......

totally, funny that,we talked about a meet years ago and yet still haven't met chap, did very much like your hybrid
thought you may say that, to be fair you...
i am thinking with coilovers and 2 new (better) tyres for the 172 it would be alright
thing is i am totally unsure whether i want to keep throughing money at it, its totally mint though, not a single mark on it, if i do mod it i would want buckets, coilovers, etc etc
i know dan i know mate........
couldn't get to sleep last night thinking about things, one of which was what i would do with a mark 1 project lol.................yep deffo think i want another.
Re: Djw Daves Turbo Clio Reincarnation Project thread
i love this car.........this takes me back..aprked up next to it at lutterworth travelodge
can't wait to see its next incarnation
i am thinking about a hybrid, i am thinking WHEN i return to mark 1 ownership not if...i will have to own a hybrid or maybe something a bit special like a turbo or a highly tuned hybrid, i agree with all you say above, the stripped valver was not exactly a date car..lol
glad people are...
