Moving abroad so time to say goodbye to my ph1 172... Without a doubt the best car i have ever owned, in terms of both fun, value for money and reliability. Never missed a beat, will be gutted when she goes.. :-(
Sorry i think i cut you up on the roundabout at the top of the road :o didn't see you till the last minute by which point i thought it was better to keep going!
Apologies anyway, they should sort that turning out as you cant see feck all coming up the hill
and i should probably slow...
how to ruin a nice car. On holiday in Ibiza and unfortunately strolled upon this...
note bean can exhausts and terrible side skirts. also is that a custom colour? as it was like trophy red, i really hope it wasn't originally a trophy!
I need to get my new wheels bored out from 57mm to 60.1mm to fit my 172, anyone know where i can get this done? preferably huddersfield/leeds area.
Cheers
Sam
Would any 182 owner be kind enough to measure the inside distance between the two and outside distance between the two of their 182 exhaust tailpipes as i need to know whether or not my custom jobbie will fit a 182 bumper.
Basically the ktec ones are a different size so wont slot into the...
Before anyone moans yes ive tried using the search for about an hour and nothing really showed up.
Basically i have a ph1 172 with standard head unit and 6cd changer. I want to upgrade the speakers to something decent and already have a mosfelt amp i could use. From what i gather i'll need...
With a small cs sticker on the righthand side of the rear windscreen. Spotted ya as you drove down the main street outside rouge. Good job feds had gone home or £30 ticket for driving down there :nono: lol

Hi,
Think my drive shafts or something like that are on the way out, getting a nasty grinding noise under hard acceleration in first ear towards high revs from the wheel arch area. Anyone else had these replaced and how much am i looking at? Wouldnt have thought this would be the case as the...
Basically i want/need to replace my discs and pads front and rear, dont really want to spend silly amounts.
Front
Have seen the brembo max front disc but they seem pretty pricey at £90ish for a pair when compaired to other vented/drilled/groved discs you can get on ebay. Anyone else used...
Finally got the eibach sportlines fitted, handles awesome now! Took her for a long drive yesterday across hudds, holmfirth and into manchester, best car ever, thought i'd share a few pics.
Next modds i think will be brembo max discs and mintex pads, a ph2 rear bumper, ph2 lights and prospeed...
Want something to make the rear bumper look lower on my ph-quick but wanted to see if anyone else had fitted one first before i forked out £140 ish.
Cheers

Right guys,
Basically i went to a french specialist garage today to see about getting my eibach sportlines fitting.
After reading this guide which seems the way most people have fitted them i assumed it would be about a 2hr job.

According to the...
As the title says, looking to lower the rear bumper abit on my ph1 172 as it looks high compaired to the rest of the car. I dont want some horrible body kit type thing stuck on the bottom, i want something that is very subtle and looks like part of the car.
just wondered if anyone else thought...
Gave her a good clean yesterday and took a few pics on my phone at a local spot, what ya think?
Theyre 17" OZ F1 Cups powdercoated in graphite grey, thought i'd go for something a little different.
BTW Eibach sportlines just arrived need fitting as its a little high atm.
Cheers

Looking at getting a new system for my ph1 172 to replace the standard crap that is falling apart. I was something that sounds NICE when you start it up and when your giving it some, but i dont want to sound like matey going down the highstreet in his 'moded' 1.2 corsa deafening the elderly.
I...
Basically just put some 17" OZ f1 cups on my ph1 172 and as predicted its abit of a tractor. I want to put eibach sportlines on but the problem is the rear wheels already rub the rear bumper with 1 person in the back, and constantly with 2 or more :eek:
Now im sure this is because it rolls...
