Hi everyone, I looked at a Mk1 172 today wth 59k on it. It doesn't seem to be a bad car but has a 'chipped and mapped' ecu. Im familiar with re-mapping cars but doing it on the standard ECU on the 172? is this common? The guy selling has no receipts for the work but says its 200bhp-ish? Im not a fan of figures really, Im only after a standard car.
It's the only 172 I've driven but felt a bit flat? Due to the re-map perhaps? My friends Williams 2 feels 'Torquey' as a passenger, what're youre opinions? Do the two cars feel the same, or at least, should they?
It has a snapped spring also, the bottom coil on the N/S/F. What else is common to go on them? Its had new rear dampers and a stainless exhaust.
Many thanks,
Tom
