172 Newbie

[marko1982]

Hi all,

I have been browsing the forums over the last few weeks while looking for a 172 and found them really useful!
This led to me finally picking up this little baby yesterday! ;-)

And so far all I can say is what a car! My last car was a 2.0 Focus which was great to drive but this is just on another level! Bring on some trakdays

Cheers for the comments

I love the colour, don't see many about in Monaco blue so that made my mind up on that really!

Got a few mods planned, 1st 182 clear repeaters, decent set of tyres all round probably Goodyear eagle f1's and then Eibach springs as I had them on my focus and were superb. No engine mods planned for a while as I need to get used to the power over my old car, when it comes on cam at 5500 rpm it just feels frantic!!! :-D
