I looked after it, longest it went without an oil change was less than 9k. It made 171.9bhp on last rolling road so must have done something right ;)
Sounds good :)
Maybe. It's coming off tomorrow so I'll report back.
It didn't sound any louder when fitted but my centre silencer might have been fucked at that point.
It doesn't really blend in! It'll spend most of the time running between Hook and Basingstoke then up to Newbury.
Post it up mate :)
Is it much louder? My Ktec stealth is too loud on the motorway so wouldn't want an exhaust like that again.
Well not quite, the local Polish hand wash place cleaned it as I was in a rush to go to view the Megane. £6 FTW.
The drivers side wheel has patches of brake dust that won't budge :o
I might be tracking it at Brands on the second day of ownership!
It won't stay standard for long. I can't really say about the plans apart from there's only one company that will be working on it.
Don't have room for another car unfortunately. If I did I'd have bought a Corvette and a cheap...
I think its a realistic price, people advertising there 172s for £3k+ are dreamers TBH
Mine needs a front end respray and drivers xenon is suffering from condensation so I was happy with that. I'd only get £23/2500 after sorting those issues so the trade in is worth it for convenience.
Just...
Do it. They are really nice cars.
Cheers Daniel, I've loved every minute of my 172 ownership not without a few problems though!
I was going to get an Ultra Red one near me but this is same price,
8 months newer, 5k less miles, still in warranty, and has the expensive LY paint and xenon...
Thanks.
I'd have got the vette if i was still working in Basingstoke but my job is being relocated to Newbury in January. The Corvettes I was looking at were over 10 years old so putting those sort of miles on it wouldn't be practical.
LOL dreamer :rasp:
No problem mate.
I know it's not to everyone's taste. Bit like the 200 ;)
Think it'll hold it's value well as it's got xenons, 27k on clock and under 3 years old.
Cheers
I think the extra torque will be addictive and it feels much more planted in the bends.
Yes, it was starting to get a bit tired. LY R26/R27 photo shoot needed ;)
I'm Tim, you've got me mixed up. Part exchanged it for £1800.
