filter will suck in hot air and loose you power and torque. and as said due to the thing being steel it will heat up and make the problem even worse!! will sound good but make your car slower!
i suffered bad heat soak on my old 1.2 thats why i went back to airbox/pannel filter i cant imagine...
i dont like big wheels but they look quite good, think the eibach sportlines would spoil it with the higher ride height although it would handle better, but its not going to handle that great on 17s anyway so no point in eibachs really unless you want a smoother ride.
if the corsas standard the 172 will be quicker, mine is quicker than a 2.0 converted gsi about here, pretty equal in 2nd and 3rd but 172 pulls in 4th and 5th
my 1.2 16v one lasted 4 years and 140k miles it was still fine when i removed it too lol
my 172 however blew the welds off the centre section at 30k and 3yrs
verified 10k?
keeping in mind they changed the engine in 2004 to a newer style but still the same basic engine but it requires a different ecu etc afaik
oilovers on a road car are only really worth spending the money on if you want to go low. you can have a car that handles just as well on a much cheaper budget.
my choice for not lowering at all would be Eibach Prolines and standard dampers, or go for koni adjustables if he wants to change the...
saw a blue 172 cup lastnight in stirling was behind it, we had a quick blast off a roundabout untill we noticed the police in front lol gave you a flash? had an aftermarket exhaust, anyone from here?
i was in my iceberg 172 btw
think the highsports were replaced with Silverline's and the konigsports (adjustable damping ones) were replaced with the Silverline X ones, worth paying extra for the Silverline X ones, i had them
i had the apex -60mm kit before my FK Coilovers, was awesome, FK's wern't much better (just went lower which was what i wanted)
best kit you can put on your car for the money, transforms the handling
whats everyones opinion on this...

obviously not 5bhp to be had with it, but just wondering if theres any gain to be had or if its not an...
my 1.2 16v was brilliant fun, as said it was so slow you couldnt make a mistake in it. now when i take it out it feels like driving in slow motion haha
plus lowered about 100mm and that mega raspy exhaust was so much fun when punting it about.
wish i had put a 1.6 16v in the 1.2 like i...
