3k?! id pay that for it, but only if there was £2000 in used notes in the boot. Worth £1500 tops. And thats if its mint with Full Dealer History.

Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread PMSL!! If i started cutting my front bumper in the front room, my Mrs would cut my nuts off!! Cant wait to see it mate. Really good progress there. :)

I like that. The blue/black thing really suits it. Good work son. :)

Is the car an 02 or a 52? Has the cambelt/aux belt been done? Cheers.

Cup holders are a step too far imo. Liking the speaker grills though! nice touch! :)

All my cars get love! :) Admitedly i drive them to the limits but they always get serviced every 3-4000 miles and so far (touches wood) i've not had any problems. My old phase-1 172 was faultless in the 18 months i owned it and did 3 track days in it!! This is a very good forum though ;)

The only thing i didn't like about my 197 was the fuel consumption. I don't think the thing went above 23mpg. Awful imo. Loved everything else though. The suspension and brakes were immense!

Not like. :( Prefer the old one.

Silver is the new anthracite. Just pick a really bright silver to make them really stand out.

Any full on shots?

Lovely looking car. I was in the lipstic pink mercedes that got cut up by the inbreeds that cut you up 30 seconds before! lol

and hes had loads of problems i think. I wouldn't bother. The cars not designed for it. If you want to go faster, buy a faster car imo.

one of my 172's had a decat from Ktec and tbh in 12 months of owning it, I could never get it to stop blowing.

The guy that owns my lock up has one of them, its bloody lush!! Excellent vans, although i'd feel guilty using it for anything other than a car! lol

Re: The story of a high mileage 172 Excellent read! My last two 172's have been on over 100k and both were pretty good tbh. Although my 1st one had 40k on it and was bloody brilliant!!

Splitter £80 Spoiler £130 painted Eibachs £130 fitted Wheel refurb to grey £120 ish Get the recaros dude!!

The day i got my 182 demo from work (about 2004) i took my mum into town to meet her mates.... She was shaking when she got out! lol

Can i borrow seven grand?! lol

I looked at that one earlier. Lovely example, but just looks too dated for me.

Running costs aren't too much of an issue. Insurance is paid for, as is fuel (to a degree) and tbh, i'll probably only do about 100 miles a month in it. Although leaving a TVR sat round for that long may prompt niggly failures of some components and that will piss me off!!

I just looked a TVR's in general. Post up some other recomendations if you want to. I'm always changing my bloody mind anyway!!

solution - work harder you lazy student coont. ;)

Post away any other TVR's for less than £15k my brother!!

Got to be standard Mr Howser sir. Got a trade policy see, so can only insure my own personal cars as long as they're standard.

^^ that is cool as f**k!!

Looking at a new car soon, (sorry if this is in the wrong section) Around £14k is the top of my budget ideally. So, mint Clio V6 with low miles.... or.....http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/454420.htm

My dad had a Silver Cav Sri 130. I thought he was the coolest mother fucker around!! C45 AAE was the reg. Was a minter. Sadly got stolen and trashed by some scummy council estate scumbags. :(

I only like Red ones they're clean... That must mean i'll always like giles's!!!

I may soil my pants......
