Yep. I had a a 172 cup and a 172 and had both up for sale. A lad of about 20 wanted to buy the cup but his insurance company refused to insure it. He ended up having to buy the normal one.

Not a fan of blue seats. A bit too blue for me. Looks 10 times better than factory though! :D

Awful. Like something John Spartan would drive around in.

At our local circuit, the rules are: 4000 rpm, db metre is held 1 metre away from the exhaust.

The customer doesn't need to clear it.

No you don't.

Should have bought my Exclusive. THE BEST condition 172 i've ever seen in my life. And I've had brand new ones!! Some boy racer type dude bought it from me and I have no doubt it will be wrapped round a tree in no time. :(

I think me and you need a room.

Thats the thing. Unless you put down a hefty (50%!) deposit on your finance, the only way it will work for you is if you keep the car for the full term of the agreement. People that put down £1000 on a £9000 car then try and change it after 12 months only end up putting themselves deeper in...

I got mine £36 delivered off Ebay. ph-1 172 Goodridge braided lines, front and rear.

You missed that?! I'd be having a f**king party! ;)

Loving, and I do mean LOVING the mk1's on this forum atm. Keep it up! :D

I ''think'' I have a spare manual if you want it? Can post it tomorrow, will be with you thursday. Free of course.

Lacre it in amphasite.

Sounds like warped discs and air in the fluid. Just replace the whole caboodle. Discs/pads/fluid with motorfactor stuff. Should be pretty cheap.

There are no rules. You can trade/finance whatever you want. (within reason) But what you want to do is perfectly fine. You need to look at your settlement figure on the current agreement, as if its £12k for example, you will be financing a LOT of money for this new car.

Awful cars. LOl @ 'race spec'. Ned.

Just make sure you take a spare coil pack!! So common on the fords. Pice of piss to change but will drive like a sack of turds if its pukkered.

FLOL!! Is that a tax dixc I spy?? Thats never road legal!!

You want to make your own mount out of sealant rather than pay £40 for a proper one?! Good luck with that.

Good name, you're off to a flying start! :D

Ah yes but the run fancy diffs/driveshafts to counter all the other problems of having massive power in little shopping cars!

I'm refraining from commenting further! I'm out of my depth! lol. But if its what ALL the blokes do that race cars, then it must work!

Yes. A wider stance at the front will improve handling. Not sure why you'd want to widen the rear though.... My mate races and pretty much everyone in his class is either running rediculous offset wheels or massive spacers on the front.

Come on MrG, drop it down the garage and i'll look after it. FOC of course! ;)

Do you live in india? Cos i'm pretty sure the english test requires some sort (albeit minimal) of competence.

I'm like batfink, I hear you call my name from literally threads away! lol.

You can't find it after 6 months?!

I thought I read it wrong!!
