im new with a 172

[ferrett]

hi everyone my name is nigel and im from northern ireland im a honda head but recently converted to a 172 had been after one for a while so the time was right and the car was right and i bought it some info bellow



imacculate inside out with all origional paint
53 plate or as we in n.i know it as 03
23,000 genuine miles
ff 172 with all the toys
iceberg silver not a big fan of silver but with a tint of blue its not bad
recent eibach spring upgrade

all comments welcome thanks


pre lowered

lowered

think the lowered version is much nicer suprisingly easy to do also took approximately an hour to do

plans next are to go a shade darker on the alloys and a k-tec system and k-tec splitter

 

[JCC]

Does look immaculate! Low miles too, good choice.

Welcome btw

 

[ferrett]

Lovely motor, i was the same about silver but then got mine and fell in love with the colour

 

[SC03OTT]

Looks great. Really needs a splitter though.

 

[LEE_05]

what exhaust is that ? you selling it when you get your k-tech?

Welcome mate, car looks minty fresh.

You'll get in trouble for calling it a FF though.

how come ??? im new to the whole thing lol

also had timing and auxilary belts changed along with disks and pads all round

exhaust is just a backbox from powerflow as the origional broke the night i got it but sounds nice ...just a stop gap till i get the funds up

Welcome on Ferrett, tidy motor and the miles aren't bad at all
I thought mine were low lol just had my 36k service on an 03 172

Planned mods sound decent too and keep an eye on the Local Meetings section
