R u from Alfreton??? If I remember you had blonde/fair hair, it was nr. the new tescos. You didnt look at me. It was the wife that noticed you, saying "thats a strange colour looks like undercoat" Still a wicked car though pal, a...
Went on a trackday yesterday in my Evo VIII MR FQ320 (345bhp) and was following a MK2 V6. Ive never done a trackday before, but was surprised how good the V6 went round the twisties. Started to reel him in on the straights though!!
The survice is every 4500miles or 6 months. About £220 for...
Anyone on here? On the M1 back from East Mids Airport.
I used to have a 172 mk1, not a bad effect though when I gave it some didnt leave you for dead as much as I thought and it looked like you had 3 folk in with you to match my 2 folk.
Entering the M1 was a different story though.
My...
I used to have a mk1 Iceberg Silver 172 loved it, on a Y plate. It should still be in the gallery

A mk1 V6 was smashed up big time in Sutton-In-Ashfield, on Sunday night the council where repairing the damage all yesterday.
It appeared to bounce off the central reservation into a post, in a 30mph zone. Dont know how they managed to do it.
Hope they werent hurt!!
I change my 172 mk1 for the STI8, havent had the PPP on it but Im chuffed to bits with it. I thought about having the WRX but you dont get all the goodies.
Only problem with it is the MPG 20 seems to be may average to date with 3000 miles on it.
Yeah the MPG hurts a little on my 03WRX STI. With the clio I could put £27 in and hammer it all day and get 200-220 miles.
In my scooby Im filling it it at £37 and getting 220 miles with a mixed pattern on driving!!!!! But its worth it!!!!!
Cheers all for your opinions, Ive always wanted one since a kid and thought Id treat myself.
I agree it sits too high and will probably get some eibach springs.
Im saving for the PPP pack at the minute to take it 300bhp, £1995 but its meant to be well worth it.
Once Ive got some serious...
Ive just swapped my 172 for a STI8 (new style.) Well pleased with the build quality is very impressive compared to early versions.
Having to change gear at 4000rpm is a bit of a bind, but I can feel the potential. Roll on the 1000 mile service.
Ill bring it to a meet Craggy!
Today my mk1 172 will be picked up by the contract hire people and taken to Carlisle, with the cliosport sticker in the back. Hopefully the new owner will enjoy this car as much as I have, and log onto this forum!
In the two years Ive had this car Ive had many a smile, whipping the arse of...
All imports have a 1 cat system and UKs have a 2 cat box.
When MOT dawns Ive been told that imports could fail on emissions and a replacement UK exhust system is £1500.
Before you jump down my throat Ive heard this from a reno dealer when they replaced my faulty system on warranty.
Mine...
In my opinion thats the best looking scooby so far thats why ive bought it. I think its a big improvement over the bugeye thing. Although everybodys entitled to their opinions.
The performance of the thing is geting into supercar figures.
Yeah its the brand new STI it came out last week.
MY stands for model year

Just ordered an Impreza MY03 STI8, They came out last week at my local dealers and as soon as I saw it I wanted one.
Dont get me wrong I love the clio, but Ive always wanted a scooby so when I was presented with a great deal I had to swap. Ill miss the little french pocket rocket. Ive made...
