depends on price really, nowadays some enthusiasts ask a high premium due to the care they have put into there car, where as you an get decent discounts from dealers so in curtain area's there wont be a huge amount of difference,also i suppose we best take into account the longer ratio's in the...

i was told: "no Mr Fitch you cant buy tie rods seperate,you have to purchace a whole steering rack, luckly i have one in stock, £400 to you " also: "Well iv had a look and there is no such thing as a gearbox mount for your vehicle,you must be thinking about another type of car" your...

also depends if we are talking about a franchise dealer or a non franchise dealer that deals in more than one car

lol CS quote of the day :rolleyes: you will go far faster spending X amount on suspension and brakes than you ever will spending the same on the engine also having balls is alot different to being able to drive quickly and safely.... still if you want to be doing combe mate you will...

i work for a dealer. enthusiast every time lol imo cars at dealers are numbers, you sell as much as poss,service as quick as poss,while still being safe, where a genuine enthusiast in theory will look after a vehicle more . imo of course

what about suspension mate?

to be honest is spending 60 quid going to make any difference from having a std renault one in matey?

yup if you wanted to spend the cash i would get a decent enclosed filter, exhaust and map, DECENT suspension with new bushes, and some upreated pads brakes with braided lines and fluid,also loose some weight, ie get rid of the rear seats if you dont use them, some buckets too that will make the...

yup no speed limiter matey,is yours due a service? as suggested about a blocked air filter and tyre pressures will make a massive difference

yup they do lower slightly,as my pics showed, but the sport lines do lower more,iv driven a mates 172 cup on sportlines and it was very nice but i found them a lil stiff at slower speeds,(imo) which is why i decided on pro's as the handling is spot on now, and looks nicer too :)

Re: The story of a high mileage 172 quick update: went out for a play with my g-tec last night, now my 172 is supposed to hit 60 in 6.8-7.1 depending where you read, so say an average of 7 secs, well last night i had 5 runs, which one was over 7 secs due to too much wheelspin ( 7.26) but the...
