think its been done but not sure if its fully done before ie interior the lot for interior you'll need... front and rear seats front and rear doorcards steeringwheel dash inserts could get the dials too! not that their much different ohh and matts theres probably more but thats all i can...

as said they do tend to creak although my clutch cable seemed to creak before it went too! felt much smoother once that was changed

decat will fit the standard system no problem, although the standard system will be the "new" restriction! glad to hear your getting it sorted.

the last ones came without sunroof so your looking for an extreme 4 or campus not sure if they done dci80 in them though or only 65?

much better getting one without a sunroof like you say as they dont creak or even worse leak! lol what you doing about interior? replica in there too?!

what tyres are on it, if its got shite tyres it wont put the power down regardless of the tred. i had Kumho's on my 1.2 16v and it couldnt get the power down in first gear or 2nd in the wet, Eagle F1's on my 172 and you can get full throttle right the way thru first gear without it braking...

i loved my black dynamique cant think of a better first car, loved every minute of it. cheap to run, insure, tax, fix, even at 17!! although if i was to go for it again id get a DCi 80 instead of a 1.2 16v, even more economical cheaper to tax, and much more torque

get one with cambelt already done unless the price is low for age/condition. check the exhaust as most of them fall off! so if it hasnt done already it may be about to! leaking rear dampers are also another thing to look for although a cheap fix, worth looking for none the less. Make sure...

to make it look like standard 172 ride height go for -40mm but id go for -60mm for the slightly lower look. you need arch liners yes as far as i know. its a lot of money for a replica but if your not bothered about performance then go for it you need..... front bumper (may aswell get cup...

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 ;)
