How anyone can take a standard 172 to 5k revs or more is beyond me, they sound absoloutely awful !! There is nothing good about the noise the car makes at all, nor is there anything thing good about the '5k kick' that most seem to get off over on here. Also if you drive past someone doing over...

I like.

To make them work your going to need something else orange on the car. Even then they may still look naff.

I wasn't sure if you'd mis-typed.

Lol, vtr or a tvr ??

You need NOS mate !!

You need to thrash the absolute nuts out of the car to get it to come on, so much so that the car will sound awful inside.

It's not a project though.

They don't really suit it as they don't go with anything, neither do the lexus lights.

A light to show that you should have changed gear.

I don't get one. Me thniks it was just a ploy to get folks details really.

wire brush it off, then paint them black, they'll look nice then.

Red calipers & that sticker ruin a nice looking car.

Knows:) Shift light, pahh !!!

^ they're going to look like err.... silver bulbs dude;)

To me, his car is about the only one on here that does pull it off:) The rest just look like an complete after thought.

They look sweet as.

^ there are plenty on here mate, as well you know.

I always buy bosch super plus blades, they're very good.

My FF car park is crap, all the cars in it are mostly cack (occasionally there are a few nice ones, but not often) I have to try to find spaces on the end & then park it a bit over the line, so the plank in the next space can't hit my car. I wouldn't mind but some of the folk who park there...

612 scaglietti (something like that) I just don't get the whole 'white car' thing, at the min people just seem to think that painting a car white makes it cool as fook, it depends on the car though, as some look naff (imo of course)

^ not sure about that, the plenum might get too hot for normal hammerite paint.

what colour you think is best? Opinions appreciated! black or silver for me, they aren't anything special are they ? so why advertise them ?

I'd go with McGard ones. They are good.

I'd buy a new set now, so your ready to swap them over when you do get the old ones off. Also, just to add if you let a garage tighten your wheel nuts up with an air gun, slacken them off a bit & do them to the proper torue when you get in, as they go mad with the gun & tighten them up too...

^ check out the sparco (spacco) pedals too ! I remember browsing ebay a while back (as I do) I saw one of those car caracture things for a clio v6, only it was a 172. I emailed the seller & said that it was a 172 - they replied, yeah you can get a clio v6 in a non wide version. I was like...

Noooo !!! White really isn't doing it for me.

Cambelt, plugs, aux belt, clutch & labour. Over 1.3k

& teddy bear paint work ??;)

Nah, I do have one of those ebay super duper chips though. That's my only mod;)
