. well as said sportlines are just springs where coilovers are springs and dampers, but the standard dampers in my opinion are perfect for fast road, a set of slightly stiffer and lower springs like the eibachs match them perfectly as they give you a little less roll and a little bit more...

the only way id think about a replica is if it was built around a 1.5 DCi engine so you would have all the looks with the cheap running costs. a 1.4 isnt really going to be any better on petrol than a 172 is! where a dci is a cool money saving idea! plus you can pick them up mega cheap and...

geez a shot then

xenons ablaze!!!!!! first time gettin spotted yeah!! should have cut me up or something u need to experiance my road rage lol

unless your going all out and buying H&R/Bilstein/AST or something along those lines i wouldnt bother, i had FK's before and my 172 on eibach springs handles better!

.

my 1.2 16v had a flexi joint on it as standard and i went thru 2 of them in a year but thats probably because it was lowered and catching the ground lol

cool guys looks like its 205's then, cost a bit more but see how it goes!

same brakes on 1.2 16v as the 1.4 and 1.6 16v what model of 1.2 are we talking about here? you can use the 172 setup with not to much hastle

^ set of 2.0 RS bottom arms, ARB, brakes and suspension ^ upgrade while your at it :)

thanks for the info guys, got a lot less torque steer since i renewed my track rods and track rod ends but still a bit so its maby something to consider too if theres less to be had from 205's not that it botheres me though! i think ill give them a go see how they are! so im right in...

they will fit but will need bottom arms and anti roll bar to fit them from a 172

:p

yeah it was a c**t as the new gaskets were a little thicker, i couldnt be bothered pissing about taking the alternator off so i just wiggled it and hammered it n got there lol theres probbaly an easier way!

as title, discuss! tyres in question would be Eagle F1's ive always used 195/45/16 but considering 205 to see the difference, im assuming i can run them no problem on standard 172 wheels?

i got mine 2nd hand on an exchange cant remember what i paid! deffo get teh gaskets, guy on here sells them think their around £25/£30 but again cant remember, search them think their called PTFF gaskets or something?!

and you can beat the chavs by driving with your fogs on with no other lights on ;) haha

looks better with the sidelights removed, makes the xenons look the tits

i had my 182 manifold before though it was about even with that fitted with exhaust and decat. only difference since is matched inlets :) forgot to say mine are AngelWorks ones with They thermal gasket things lol

i hadnt driven my car for 6 months before i fitted mine so its kinda hard to do a before and after of them but it now pulls on my mates ek9 civic type R when it used to be about even.

i was under the impression that the 172 cup had slightly stiffer dampers on it, i changed all of mine for brand new genuine cup dampers (using the reg plate for a cup) when mine were feeling a bit worn. but i was sure they were different (cost similar) which is why i went for them over the...
