Yo!
Due to needing a van for work and already running a camper van it looks like I might have to consider getting rid of the sunflower ph1 :( Awful timing as I've just spent out for 4 brand new tyres and a service but insurance is ddue so I've got to consider it.
Anyway, question is whether...
Right, I've seen a few posts about this oil and some say it's the same as halfords (which might be cheaper?). It's not supposed to be a fully synthetic even though it says it is. Oilman had a post somwhere about this. So, is it any good for a 58k 172 for fast road, no track? 5l will set me back...
Orite guys.
I've not got a clue but the 16v will be going up for sale in the next week or 2 as the 172's definitely for keeps. Go on, chuck a few realistic figures at me if you don't mind :)
K reg, Black, 138k, 100% standard (as far as I can think)
In the last 18 months

Hey!
I was just about to buy some phase 2 handles (alloy) to go on my phase 1. Then I thought maybe they'll look a bit odd, as they're black and everything in the phase 1 is blue. Has anyone seen any installed? Do they look weird? It's too bloody dark outside to see now and the auction ends in...
Might have been gone over before but I don't know which is in my soddin car do I !!!!! I want to replace the interior handles as they're obviously cracked and buggered. It's a phase 1 X reg 172, December 2000. Does anyone know if they'll be cable or rod? I don't really wanna pull them apart til...
What do ya reckon? Might be heading off to a track with 3 work mates. There'll be a brand new civic type s, brand new WRX and a 6 year old WRX against me little 172.
Am I gonna get killed by the scoobys or should I be ok as long as the straight isn't too long?
Will be the first track day...
As if I don't already know what the answer would be off you lot :D
the 16v's going over winter and I'm struggling between these 2. I've never actually driven either so it's all purely on looks and quality at the mo. Anyone driven a polo gti? I know it's not as quick but you can get one same...
Hey! Who's got a trophy in the great little town that is Stafford? Saw one Saturday evening at the KFC island but didn't get a wave back :cry:
First one I've seen in the flesh and damn do they look sweeeeeeeeet :hail:
Yo!
I'm saving the pennies to swap the 16v over for a 172 as I need something more reliable that won't need something fixing every month or two. What do you reckon is the best age to buy one money wise? I've been looking at spending about 5k which should get me one from about 2001 at a push I...
