it just got to many hard launches for its liking i think lol

Ali what was said about the cams at falkland?

the same

a gearbox problem on a 172? never?! lol yeah they are a common weakness, replace the box is really the only way, and then be more carefull with the next one, i went thru 2 on my 1.2 16v in a year

ahh thats not bad if ur supplying your own then!

i made it vanish into thin air, think ill do the same with the chav clio

if you want low dont get 40mm they hardly look any lower from some angles! i had the apex -60mm ones on my 1.2 16v with the apex dampers and even that didnt sit that low! so i went to coilovers. but tbh, for handling go for eibach for lowness apex -60mm

yep 8v lacks top end grunt, so can see it struggling even more top end of 5th

they dont half cost a fair bit with options, i was pricing one up on the net earlyer and it came to about £19,000! lol id want xenons, recaros, white wheels, climate and cup chassis, in black of course!

id be worried about what oil they were using at that price.

my 1.2 16v done 120 on the clock but it only came out at 112mph gps, but that was a 16v

never had to deal with them in person but over the phone etc they have been brilliant

lol their slow but not that slow, it should touch 100mph on the speedo if its an 8v one

na dont really want to go with aftermarket management, just thought cams would be worth while since the cambelt was getting done anyway but dont want to go spending mega money.

pannelfilters dont make noise

i would if i could insure something jap lol. so basically cams arnt worth it? the actual power gain didnt bother me it was the extra low down torque that sounded nice.

60k a year i wish haha

insurance is only £1200 fully comp now that im 19 with 1yrs ncb, thats why im looking at getting the cambelt done and cams etc although starting to think best bet is to do the cambelt myself (and just take the plunge and buy the tools) stick a 182 manifold on it, decent exhaust, inlets done...

lol "the rally" is too loud and the stealth (which does EXACTLY what a stealth should do, ie low noise, and is hidden) doesnt give the power gain im looking for) the stealth is perfect but just dont really want to fit cams, 182 manifold etc etc to fit an exhaust that wont give me the power...

12.5, and they do it in about that in real life too unless stripped

i love you to sweety ;)

fitting isnt a problem i can do all the fitting myself (cams at a push if i bought the tools) its the mapping, i just wanted to save the hastle and get it all done at once and save me the hastle! yozza stealth is the exhaust id get BUT i want a better power gain, but its an option. ali, what...

decent tyres, decent brakes and coilovers are only mods id do to a 1.2, anything else i wouldnt bother with!

lol you pay £100 more a year than i pay a month

it doesnt sleep, its a car

My cambelts due soon and looking at getting it done + some other goodys at the same time!! looking at getting... Fast road cams 182 manifold sports cat mapping Going to Prospeed for a catback i think but just need a reliable tuner to do the above work, had spoke to GDi about it but after...

jock_clio is looking to get rid of his mk1 172 for arround the £2k mark i think!, needs a bit done but nothing majour just silly bits to tidy it up

ohh and going by the way you guys time it, thats 8 seconds!!! 1 second slower than my 172bhp 2.0!!! god why did i sell it!

pinky, i counted that at 13 seconds too. i counted it from when you appear to lift the clutch. heres my old one before the exhaust and decat so was only running a filter and fully stripped... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBf4dwB7V3w
