.....with the ride height, cheers garry!
before

after

 

[benji&eka]

bear in mind its only on 15's !!!

 

[Phill1978]

15`s are cool, cant stand big wheels on little cars

 

[doddy]

height looks just right, how much u lowered it?

 

[SOHROB]

what profile are the tyres ?

 

[Middo]

look like 50's as thats what mines on and looks pretty much the same height wise

 

[benji&eka]

the tyres are 50's
cant remember what the vehicle height is, but the front coilys have 105mm exposed thread and the rear platforms 2mm of exposed thread

 

[Christopher]

looks great.

loving the 'TROUBLE' stickers.

lexus lights are still a no-no for me though.

 

[2thumbs]

Sitting nicely, mate!

No idea why people put chrome lexarse lights on black cars, either black ones or smoked standard style lights would be better. But it's your car, and you shouldn't care what I think

 

[benji&eka]

LOL the shites are on there 'cos one of my standards got cracked and auto art did me that set for £25 delivered!!
-its who you know!!

 

[clio head]

ride height looks spot on m8..... but jesus thats a big old exhaust biggest i think ive even seen on a 172!!! :hail: :hail:

 

[Zorba_the_greek]

looks way better. the ride must a bit hard

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'd turn it down more on the back, LOVE the Trouble stickers!!!

 

[benji&eka]

yeah, the exhaust is mahoosive LOL
i gotta adjust it slightly (big hammer), cos it knocks slightly now on the back axle

 

[Alan]

Very tidy indeed mate!

 

[James172Cup]

Really nice mate, I still really like the earlier 172's.

 

[Gareth]

i'd turn it down more on the back, LOVE the Trouble stickers!!!

agree, turn it down more on the back.

 

[benji&eka]

looks like i'll have to turn it down one more on the back.

 

[Gary G]

Good work mate! I had to have my exhaust adjusted after lowering it on the GAZ kit lol

 

[Christopher]

FK coils?

 

[benji&eka]

182 GAZ with some adjustments

 

[lawrence]

nice ride height, what coilovers are they?

 

[Jay]

looking good! not sure on the lights on the back?

don't see many black ph1 172's......

 

[cliomug]

how low is it mate

 

[GarethM]

very nice dude looks a good height now

 

[M1TCH]

nice, that looks perfect wish mine was like that! not so keen on the lights though, ph2's nicer.

 

[Dave S2K]

Much better, nice car, intake looks neat. :approve:

 

[Day]

don't see many black ph1 172's......

I see one everyday

Looks great slammed, but for me it would be impratical

 

[lucky]

Looks nice, 15's are cool.

 

[Djw Dave]

I like it

 

[ch!ppen]

Ooooohhhhh, makes me want to get started on my Phase 1 even more (not a 172 though sadly). I'm on a mission to get it sorted as much as I can for FCS lol! :clown:

 

[benji&eka]

cheers guys, i raised the back a bit for the pod on sunday
and i've yet to drop it back down again, will get round to it on saturday :sleepy:

 

[benji&eka]

I see one everyday

Looks great slammed, but for me it would be impratical

its the bestest colour

 

[Tigger]

She's sitting nicely guessing you're on FKs ?

I'm on a mission to get it sorted as much as I can for FCS lol! :clown:

^^ Me too - have a ferry to save up for and some ICE, no sign of my FKs yet :sleepy:

 

[caymanr26]

hows it handling now? did mine the other day and its a bit sketchy at the mo - have sorted it a bit by doing camber,tracking and adjusting air pressures in back tyres but still a bit shakey! gonna adjust the damping a bit again tomorrow to see if that sorts it - otherwise im off too see fred this weekend to see what he can suggest (other than lowering the rear to the deck!)

 

[benji&eka]

play with the damping, it takes a while to get it set nice. once you have it right you can then tweak it depending on what your doing

 

[Andi-B]

Very nice motor benji ... An excellent example of why the mk1 172's are THE best looking RS's

I want my old one back!!
