My new Mk2 Ph1 172 :D

[DannyR]

Well after spending too much on the 172 conversion I lost a lot of heart for it so I decided to bite the bullet and buy a real one!
A lot of people at the EA meet probably didn't realise it was me as hadn't had chance to take some photos and post them on here!

 

[Ian_182]

That looks nice and tidy

 

[Christopher]

perfect.

leave it like that, bar some clear repeaters...

 

[pugtastic_baby]

Lovin it x

 

[MikeyK18]

[Marky_]

Nice one!

What's going on with the conversion then?

 

[DannyR]

Couple people interested in buying it and finishing it.

Going to do the side strips thursday in silver and try to find some clear repeaters on ebay!

Then to tidy, polish and paint the engine bay!

 

[Nafoff]

nice mate......let me know what you think compared to the mark 1

 

[MillerLight]

looks good. wheels look in good condition too

 

[Timmay]

[Christopher]

or even better - coilovers & black Rota slipsteams... filthy

 

[Nafoff]

^^^^oi stop giving everyone the same ideas chap.....

or we will all have the same looking cars.

 

[fuel_slut]

V.nice...

Standard FTW as everyone is saying.

What springs is it sitting on? Apex?

 

[DannyR]

What springs is it sitting on? Apex?

Nice guess! Yes, its lowered -40mm all around. Also front and rear strut braces too.

Thats all that been done apart from Magnex exhaust and K&N, thinking of changing the Magnex but can't decided, sounds too good!

ph-reebone - do you mean the 172 conversion?

 

[Nafoff]

i mean handling etc etc of the mark 1........

i think its very different, as for exhaust chap, go to pro-speed very good rep from them

 

[leeds_182]

That looks like a minter!

 

[Limca]

perfect.

leave it like that, bar some clear repeaters...

and then it will look like mine.. oh also get some ph2 rear lights on

 

[brownale01]

jealous mate, i want one of these soon but insurance again has got me down lol

 

[DannyR]

Ph2 rears are a must yes! Just been reading Fubars guide!

Thanks for comments everyone!

Handles better IMHO but still a lot of testing to be done!

 

[JoelDee]
