How would I go about doing this..?

[DanEdser]

My mate said I should get some 172 brakes on my 1.2 ph1 and was wondering how i would go about doing it?

Why would you need to?

 

[DanEdser]

Why would you need to?

idk he thinks i should get 172 brakes, coilovers etc, then when i have enough money, drop a 172 engine into it,

but since this is all what he thinks, i was just wondering how i would do it?

Honestly don't waste you money. For what you can pick a 172 up for these days its not worth the hassle.

It much be much simpler and cheaper to save up and buy a 172 to be honest.

Dirt cheap at the moment.

Absolutely not worth it. I paid £1k for my 172 which is less than you'd pay to fit the brakes, coils and engine to a 1.2. In fairness, a tidy 1.2 is probably worth as much as a 172 these days so trade the 1.2 in and spend the money you were going to waste on the 1.2 on insuring the 172.

ik ik, but im still just wondering what i would need to get etc

Surely by the time all that is declared to your insurance company you would be better off getting a 172 and have the wider track, stiffer subframe etc

You can buy a 172 for £1000.

It will cost you a lot more than that to convert one properly.

Tell your mate he's a complete weapon.

IK im not saying im GOING to do this, im just wondering what i would need?! does no one understand this? im just wondering, not planning on doing it!

 

[DomP182]

Beaten to it!

Believe you would need the axle off of a 172 to change from drums to discs.

 

[DomP182]

Just being honest

 

[DanEdser]
