not really true tbh, if i set my dampers to soft on my coilovers they were no harsher than my 172 on sportlines, or set it to the hardest setting and it didnt budge!

looks good guys shame i was working :(:( need to get myself along to a meet not been to one in the 172 yet. when did that c**t alan get a R27? fuker kept that quiet lol getting cams and zorst for the 172 hopefully soon so ill get along to one in the future!

my coilovered 1.2 went round a corner twice as good as my sportline'd 172! lol

i just sold my 2002 one for £800 in mint condition lol

nothing fancy just a set of Eibach Sportlines

im 18 been driving 1 year with 0ncb and insuring my 172 for £1500 a year a lot of people say the petrol will kill you, not entirely true, mine is much better than my modded 1.2 16v was, as i dont have to drive it as hard arround town etc you can drive about everywhere in 4th and 5th instead...

saw a trophy, smiled and gave a nod but dont think the guy saw me. saw that blue gdi 182 think his names perry? and also that blue 172 cup with white turinis and big exhaust the guy who insists in flooring it past me when i see him to let me hear his exhaust! looks good and sounds good when...

hi mate, im from falkirk, also got a 172 but in iceberg silver, only mod ive done is Eibach Sportline springs, nice drop and awesome handling (previous car had coilovers too and this isnt far off handling wise!) i got mine from fergusons of stirling www.fosperformance.co.uk

Iceberg 172 with Sportlines. nothing special...

anyone got the k-tec recessed exhaust for the 172 ( this one http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2069) thinking of getting it with the silenced de-cat as its ment to be quite quiet (i got a new exhaust under warranty and they used a cheap thing that doesnt even fit properly and...

i got 260 from my 1.2, get 280 from my 172

im not the bauld guy lol thats another guy, never in stirlin that much apart from to get petrol every 2 days lol

why does no c**t spot me?

mwaters, yep not bedded in as there just fitted, and fitting cost wasnt an issue as i done them myself, only takes an hour.

133k fuk sake thats nearly as high as my old 02 plate on 140k lol i beleive the 85bhp model has an intercooler and the 65 doesnt so thats a thing to think about if your considering remaping it in future.

would rather have a remap but suppose there handy as you can take them out and sell them on etc.

im in the same boat as harry, i had my 1.2 16v for 2 years and when i got the 172 hated it, it looked better etc but when driving it hard i was unimpressed with the handling and the way it drives (mostly due to 16" wheels over the 15" wheels i was used to) but over time ive forgot what my 1.2...

ally did i see you on the stirling services roundabout today? saw a cupra the same but it went off a different exit before i caught up

ive not and not noticed any problems, there still just as shite to drive with compaired to my old 1.2 with its mega "off road use only" rally bulbs haha

thats the ones yet, but dont worry the front will go no where near -45-50mm, i had a 60mm kit on my 1.2 and it was much lower

yeah mate ill measure it later (keeping in mind ive not got a splitter on yet) i like the quiet exhaust but at the same time miss my old loud 1.2 poping! just had a brand new exhaust fitted under warranty too last week :D:D

aye alan we'll get a wee meet arranged soon, aye yozzasport race system next a think (well once a get the damaged fixed where it got hit wi a brick!) ride feels exactly as it was standard, if not better! but when you throw it into a bend its planted, VERY good springs!

dont think ive drove with my lights off since i got it. always drive with my xenons on.

Fitted my Eibach Sportlines the other day, all i can say is WOW what a difference for £150!! the ride high has a nice drop, sits the way it should have sat from factory!! handling is nearly on par with my old coilovered car! Just need to get my K-Tec Splitter fitted now when i can be...

sounds like donna, dark tints?

my shiftlight comes on at 140mph on the dials which is about 135 ish so that sounds about right

that not the pannel that goes behind the drivers side bit of the front grill? dont remember it having clips like that but might be different on the 172/aircon cars etc

open induction kit such as a cone filter will lose you performance due to it sucking in hot/warm air, even on the smaller engines,no matter how many cold air feeds you give it!! panel filter is the best option, you can use a closed induction kit but wouldnt bother for the price you pay/low...

is it a squeeking? i had a squeeking noise on my old one when i was turning, changed the suspension top mounts for new genuine items and it sorted it

does the noise only come when you press the accelerator when it sucks in air? dont know what it is but they all do it. no need for the engine cover, my alternator ate mine, when i blew my engine my new one came with a cover so kept it on, a month later the radiator fan ate it lol
