    Monaco Blue 172 with 182 wheels...???

    cant see why its pointless when he has a colour that you cant get a 182 in, so it would be different! in my opinion tho i cant see it working, but i could be wrong.

    The Green Machine is there!

    nice get it colourcoded, or atleast get some back to black on it! and some tyre gel. some ph2 rear lights and dual-optic front lights (or what ever you call them) and it will look mint! and then finish it off with eather a dynamique interior or 172 one :)

    handling - FK coilovers vs Apex -60mm kit

    also need opinions on this, chances are its getting a 2.0 16v conversion in the future so could FK's be used with a 2.0 conversion or am i better getting 172 hubs, coilovers for a 172 etc etc? cheers

    handling - FK coilovers vs Apex -60mm kit

    hi, looking at possibly upgrading to coilovers after seeing my car with 5 people in it yesterday (apex -60mm kit) but i only want to do it if the handling is going to be better than it is with the apex kit as i preffer handling over ride height.

    1.2 75hp to 1.6

    looked into the 1.6 16v for my car, after reading all that was involoved and watching videos i decided it just wasnt worth it as it wasnt that much faster to justify the cost/effort required. so im going for a 2.0 16v conversion. as for the sell up and buy a 172, i could have much MUCH more...

    Apex -60mm kit question

    ive recently noticed that when putting weight on the front of my car (to bounce the suspension up and down) the front doesnt seem much more firm than a standard 1.2 16v also when reversing out my drive or driving over a small bump the back feels hard but the front seems a bit softer. now i...

    K&N filter for a 1.4?

    ive got a different engine (D4F 1.2 16v) but you will be able to do simmilar on your engine. the airbox on mine had a seperate chamber so it still held air but kept the engine quiet, probably helps with fuel economy etc so i cut that out so its all 1 big chamber.. now the airflow was...

    performance differences between 16's and 17's

    i cant tell any acceleration difference between my 15s and my 16s because the rolling radius is still about the same due to lower profile tyres on the 16s. but i do notice a difference in the handling, its much more chuckable with the 15s and handles much better but doesnt have as much grip as...
