Better pics of the coilovered 172

[VIICarCare]

Only a couple taken on my iphone last weekend. She has 15mm spacers all round, but the front need abit more. I got rubbing on the rears if i hit a bump over 25mph! She needs new tyres & wheel refurb. Then just need to tidy up the bullets, maybe colour code them & spray the grills satin black. Oh & a bloody good detail/correction.

Opinions welcome, good or bad.

Standard stupidly clear car in the hanger photos! Great as always though You running 195's or 205's? I had 15mm rear spacers on 195's and it also rubbed like mad, had to change to 5mm in the end. Im running 25mm up front, having a couple of issues since changing to Spax RSX's as they are running slightly lower than the Apex bone crunchers I had before, turn in and grip is amazing though

 

[VIICarCare]

cheers mate. 195's. The rubbing isn't constant, just if the roads are bad!

So should I put 25mm on the fronts?

 

[Keenan172]

thats a beautiful example, so tidy looking:hail:

 

[VIICarCare]

aww thanks very much! I'd love a front end respray, a new drivers seat, a few dings need pulling out & some nice new rota alloys would be nice! Trying not to spend anymore on her though!

Very nice, love the flame red, reminds me of my old wicked red saxo. God that colour used to shine.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Looks a nice example.

Funnily enough me and Lesley were looking at a flame red one yesterday and saying how much we like the colour, dont see them often at all though.

 

[liam172cup]

That looks really nice. Does the back rub when you go round corners?

 

[VIICarCare]

Cheers Chip, it is a lovely colour.

No rubbing round corners

thanks guys

 

[Bluebeard]

Lovely. Really really nice to see one without lime green bullets and badges.

Imo, you should put the 25mm spacers on the front and put 10/15mm on the back.

 

[Greeny.]

cheers mate. 195's. The rubbing isn't constant, just if the roads are bad!

So should I put 25mm on the fronts?

Im having issues running at a low(ish) height with 25mm spacers but others haven't had issues, have a look in my recent Media thread for the height

Lovely colour on a 172 this

 

[Gaz.]

It wouldn't rub if you had the arch lips rolled back.

 

[Kane.]

Love it.

 

[VIICarCare]

I dont want to spend any more money though, lol.

Buy 20mm spacers for the front. Thats it! Had my 2 nephews in the car today, not much more rubbing than just me in the car.

Im happy for now. Thanks guys
