[Eskiisbest]

[GarethM]

[Christopher]

not seen you on here for ages Elliot!

...how's the motor mate? got the wing fixed yet?

 

[Munchkin]

Here's mine - now on Eibach Sportlines/16" mille wheels/Ktec twin catback - working on the engine bay at the moment too....

arhh, wish i hadn't started this thread, to think of it I wish I hadnt joined this bloody club again, I wanna do so much to the 172 after seeing how nice all your lots are. I brought the car and promised the lady I would keep this one standard and not blow anymore money.

oh well i'm sure a bunch of flowers will keep her sweet, whilst she is arranging them in a vase I'll sneak out to Torsion Tuning and get it dropped and some rims fitted.

Here's pic's of my old ph-quick

 

[Eskiisbest]

holla chris yeah wing fixed actually got it painted twice and still not happy with the colour match.

Nothing new done im afraid start work next month again so let the money roll in and out on my car once again WOO

 

[GarethM]

nice one elliot

what do you have in mind??

 

[Eskiisbest]

Change the wheels colours in the next few weeks black on the outside to silver in the middle.

chip next most probably to go with exhaust system and typhoon induction kit, colour coding, cup spoiler.

yourself?

 

[GarethM]

well mine has had lots done to it
lowered 40mm on apex, decat and exhaust, colour coded, engine bay polished, itg filter, new tyres.

next on the list is colour code my calipers to match my 2.0 ltr badges, inlet matched by benr, and picking up an alloy bonnet off giles next week

 

[Ali]

Both Chris's and day's car are fit as f**k!!

but i prefer the std mk1 172 rear bumper. 16OZ's look the piece too.

 

[klmillard]

how low is everyone gone? What is the generally recommended height and on what kit.

I want mine lowered but not to much as I wanna keep it usable and dont wanna spend too much doing so. Any recommendations

 

[GarethM]

most people use apex 40mm i have them and think they are very good, decent drop and ride is good also

 

[klmillard]

cheers Garf172, would that be just Apex springs or shockers as well.

Thanks for your help

 

[GarethM]

just springs is ok but not if you want to go any lower

 

[klmillard]

sorry pal to keep asking questions, but where can I find these apex badboys from?

Thanks again, much appreciated

 

[Eskiisbest]

<--- 90mm on coilovers WOO

Also Eibach's are good. The Pro's for ride, Sport's for height.
