Re: 50% complete 172RWD!

yeh i agree....although working on them when you really don't want to is the worst thing, but as you say. It's got to be done and the end result is going to be muchos worth it.

What size tyres are you going to go for ??

This will need some extensive suspension work I imagine, are you into that too Steve or is that being outsourced?

Re: 50% complete 172RWD!

jesus i cant believe your actually doing this.

Re: 50% complete 172RWD!

I've seen the effort put into this first hand ..... no doubt the car comes first!

To any 'should have bought a v6 comments' u should look up a word called Originality!

The fact that steve spent 8k on the turbo conversion should tell you that he couldn't care less about the money he could have saved by buying a Vee.

The only word that matters is FUN!

Re: 50% complete 172RWD!

Totally brilliant mate, keep the good work up. Your motor, your choices, your cash, have fun!!

Re: 50% complete 172RWD!

Only just seen this thread, very impressive Steve and it's good to see some progress - oh and someone on the forum with some balls and skills.

However I'd question the suitability of Gaz coilies, my understanding is they are poor. Be better off with FK/KW if you can afford a couple more quid.

Electrics on that are going to be a barsteward though, whats going on with the TC/ABS/ESP?

 

[manicmonkey]

Re: 50% complete 172RWD!

be interesting to see how the handling is after shifting all that weight too the back!!

 

[stevo172-RWD]

Re: 50% complete 172RWD!

hmmmmmmmmmm cant wait to find out later!
