Doesn't looks that bad mate, more importantly how does it sound?

"2JZ no s**t!"

I passed a Toyota supra yesterday, doubt it was a 2jz-GTE engine one but a supra all the same. Couldn't get a pic as was driving but looked like it had been sat and not looked after as it was covered in leaves and mud etc from trees. Such a shame as these cars are becoming rarer. Hopefully it...

Shame about the numptys! Interested in your opinion on the PMS exhaust! These look the business!

All you can do is learn from it. The problem is most of us will buy a car like this with our hearts and not our heads. We arn't sales people or procurement specialists, just want our toys lol.

I still can't get over how clean this install is. As far as engine conversions go its one of the best I've seen. Do you have some videos of it?

I bought my black 172 off a guy on Auto trader. Lovely guy, had a 6 month old child, wife was lovely. Car looked mint bar and drove fine. He said it had a service history and tons of receipts. He also said the only reason I'm selling is because i have a new job.... sounded legit right? Agreed a...

Ouch lol.

I feel this way about mini's, however my Abarth is called "cute" by girls lol :(

Lol! that is insane! a rocket! the car stock is a nippy bugger, that is nuts though. Noted however the only problem with the Monza is that its not stainless steel and the little valve thing sticks in time? which would be super annoying.

I think the more important question would be why lol 160-170 is fun and cheap but 250-300 might as well pump that koney I agree, plans for my abarth is a remap to 170bhp, essesse air filter and the bombardier exhaust. Everything else i'll leave as is.

Basically yes. From 135 a remap and better air filter alone can see you to 160-170bhp. Exhaust for noise and pops and bangs (no remap needed). Bigger turbo, intercooler, downpipe and better injector's then 250bhp is possible. 300bhp is possible but not sure on reliability?!??

Its why i ended up with one as a daily. The bombardier stainless steel exhaust will set you back about £240! Loads of parts available as the essesse and other models share many common parts (especially the engines). I wouldn't say its a head turner, but fellow petrol heads love to talk about them.

Basically this, it's no where near as good as a 197 in terms of performance, but they look nice (imo) and handle good for the b roads!

I have a 13 plate 135bhp standard Abarth that I drive daily - use to drive my 172 but got a bit much when i changed the suspension - made it hard to drive etc. The Abarth is cracking! i love it, good mpg, fun when you put your foot down and a great B road blaster. I'm quite a big guy 5' 11" and...

You should split this out into a guide and put it in the guides section, great work!

Very nice touches!

Very cool idea those barcodes! Where you thinking of putting them? Also love that table! Looks amazing!

Would you say its enough of an upgrade to buy over an already polybushed (powerflex bushes) dogbone?

How big is your garden to have a car sat in it for that long???

This is a great thread! Perfect as I've come to path in my cars life where i would like to do some mods to the 172 to keep it "nice". Group N timing sounds very interesting as I have to do belts shortly. Does anyone know anywhere south of London that does this or is a trip to EFI-Parts worth it?

This looks like it's going to be amazing!

Cheers @ZachB thanks for link. Some good cleaning tips if anything else!

Hi All, I'm Chris and i'm going to try and clean up my black Clio RS 172, it's a cracking car but needs a ton of tlc. My aims of the project is to clean it up, improve it (to a degree) and more importantly enjoy and learn working on my RS 172. I've never worked on a car before so i'm in for a...

Love the logo's and the wrap! Typical Andy quality too lol

Hi guys, Since taking my 172 off the road last October I've finally got round to taking it apart. Took the front bumper off yesterday and remembered that the ?undertray? Is broke. Any idea what this is called and where it should connect to? In the 3 years I've owned it's always been broke so...

Amazing work! Car looks perfect!

Great cars the Micra's. U never hear anyone moan about them :) Looks great lowered and with 13" alloy's on too ;)

Cheers dude! Yours looks great! Like standard but better!
