I can understand cleaning the exterior (up to a point), but not the inside of the wheels FFS. Paul levels of pointlessness.

New cars are undersealed, not going to rust. It's something that some people (Paul;)) are into.

Exhaust trim, on a recessed exhaust (so the diffuser actually works!), just seems silly.

Thats a really good price, where from?

Every hour spent washing, is an hour I could be driving. My cars a clio, not a Ferrari, ergo washing isn't that important. I wash my car once/maybe twice a year.

Needs bleeding at a guess

I think birchdown have the kits

You're driving the thing rather than washing it, I salute you.

Funny

I'd make sure they are ok before doing the springs. If there's an issue, and you're spending the money on springs and new dampers, might as well upgrade at the same time.

I sincerely doubt that prices will go up in the next 10 years.

Check the rear dampers aren't leaking.

Used to get that on my 182 (from the rear), no idea why, never caused a problem of affected handling, so just left it.

My copy still hasn't been opened.

Think there must be about 5 threads on this now lol. It's NORMAL! All 5 of my 1*2's have done this.

Car looks good. Which Bilstein kit is that.

Personally, I'd wait for coilovers. I've done days on Eibach Sports, and on coilovers. Massive difference, hate to say it, but would probably of been more economical and fun to drive to of got coilovers rather than the wheels and 888's.

DanR uses them everyday, on coilovers and throttlebodies!

Good choice, get some pics up.

Stupid barely covers it. Utterly pointless IMO. Would of been far better off driving the thing hard for a few hours.

Pro give a better ride, but don't really lower the car, sports are stiffer, but lower

Yozzasport, ferodo 2500, brembo hc

Eibach's. Pro or sport. Do not get Apex, buggers up the handling/ride.

Norfolk lad never touched those seats.

No clue fella, but not expensive/hard to do yourself. (check with someone more mechanically minded than me, coil packs would be first guess though.)

Did not know that, looks spot on in that case.

Please tell me it actually has AP brakes? Other than that, looks spot on.

Coil pack./

Given the prices of 172's at the moment, just go and get one. Cheaper than what you're considering.

This has gone way off topic, whats the point in talking about mk1's, AFAIK Steve's isn't looking at mk1's. Talking mk2's, a cup or ph1 172 would be a better track car than a Trophy.
