I've got a flame red 172 and I'm looking to change the wheels!! You've inspired me :)

I would love a P1. But like Kris said, they are rare, but to find one that is in very good condition is ridiculously rare, and plus they are expensive. If I was you I would try and save another couple of grand and get a 172 cup. Then look into performance mods like decat, carbon induction kit...

I'll swap you my 172 plus everything in my wallet

Whats your budget if you don't mind me asking mate?? What reg impreza you looking at? You thought about a P1??

I wouldn't say they were a lot quicker, but it's defo quicker than the ones you mentioned.

They are fast, but a scooby would beat it in a straight line. the 172 is quality around corners and roundabouts though. with a couple of small mods your looking at about in the late 6's to 60, top end of 140mph. It's all about personal preferance, if you want people to hear you before they see...

I'm thinking of saving up about £2000 and selling my flame red mk2 172, and buying an 05 182. Do you think it's worth it?

How much would it cost to get your car re-sprayed in white? It looks quality.

I would defo be tempted to lower it 30mm all round on eibach's. Then possible a BMC CDA with hillpower inlet (fitted mine last week and it sounds so much better now). Gonna sort a stealth exhaust soon. Although looking on here before, some people have had probs with them hanging to far below the...

Yeah I was like that with my 172. But a few subtle mods do make a difference. You just need to know when to stop. But looks awesome standard anyway!!

You got any plans for it?

Very nice mate. Saw one very similar round my end on saturday, looked quality. Nice steering wheel by the way.

I have a flame red 172, it looks the nuts when its been cleaned, and looks quality at night. Monaco blue is pretty nice as well. There are too many black and silver cars about now. The 182 looks cool in inferno orange and liquid yellow. Attracts unwanted attention though as some people on here...

that looks exactly like a V6...

Looks like a bumble bee on steds...Awesome track car!

Love the subtle kit u have on your car mate! Shame about the buckled rim! Onwards and upwards (OZ superlegs!!)

I think it looks pretty good, especially compared to the normal cooper s!! You could get more for your money though considering they are about 22/23 grand, and probably about 18 grand for a second hand one!

I did that as well john! Tollan, make sure u hold on tight mate!! 2nd and 3rd in the 172 is quality! some stupid new Tigra 1.8 sport tried it on last night, just slipped it into second....bye bye silly Tigra!! You shouldn't have a problem beating the golf, zetec s and 106. Cupras are v.quick and...

Would anyone be able to tell what bhp gains I could expect with an ECU remap taking into account I will have BMC CDA, sports cat and stealth exhaust? I know remaps aren't really that great in terms of gains for non-turbo cars, but it's worth finding out about.

mk2 172 FF

It's the standard SRi. It's an 02 plate. If it was a VXR I know I wouldn't stand a chance as they are like 240bhp. I think his is 190bhp standard. He's not had it remapped!!

Just wondering who you think would win in a quarter mile race. My mate has an astra SRi turbo, pretty standard bar the blue flame exhaust, and I've got a 172, also standard bar a BMC CDA!

Well it's been lowered 25mm at the front, but theres still about 3-4 inches clearance I reckon! The splitter would make it about a inch and half lower!! So what do you think? I would cringe if it scrapped on a speed bump!!!

Just looking for pics of a flame red mk2 172 with a carbon fibre bonnet. My bonnet has a few bumps and stone chips and want to get a new bonnet. Saw u can get the carbon bonnet from k-tec. So please can anyone post some pics if they have any!! Also, what do people think about carbon splitters?

You were probably still in 3rd gear :). I have a 172, and always tell myself before I get in it that I'm going to drive sensibly...it's so hard no to put your foot down!!

Yeahs it mk2 ph2 172. Cheers, I'll try that this weekend!! I hope it sorts it out, it really feels like its gonna stall or something!

Oh sh*t yeah. Sorry, I thought it hadn't actaully submitted the new thread as the internet was messing up!! cheers

when I'm at the traffic lights in neutral, my engine seems to cause the car to shake, sort of like it's about to stall. The revs stay at around 750-1000 rpm when I'm in neutral, I was just wondering if anyone knows what it is and how to sort it??
