my new ph1 172

[Nafoff]

nice taylor...quite jealous

don't like the wheels..if anything you need proper willy wheels in black maybe

 

[Ali]

no ali couldnt afford to insure a 205 and my clio at the same time, well not so much coulnt afford but refused to pay that much,as you can only use no claims on one car.

but can afford this as its my only car.

hey a 172 and still a teenager... cant be bad lol

cheers for the comments guys n girls, been planning whats going on next today

As.so!! So you sold the 1.2? I had a 172 at 19 T'is a good feeling!

 

[Bluebeard]

if i'd had a 172 at 19, i wouldn't be sat here writing this now!

by the age of 19 i'd written off 4 cars (engines and crash-wise!) and been banned once!

 

[Ali]

^ Want a biscuit?

 

[Bluebeard]

Sorry you're scottish, I don't understand??

 

[Laura]

yup sold the 1.2

tis a great feeling i just have to keep reminding myself to be sensible, ive already written off one car lol

 

[Bluebeard]

You must be very sensible taylor!

 

[Ali]

Sorry you're scottish, I don't understand??

Ignorance is bliss!

 

[sharpie]

I like the wheels, but proper willy ones would be spot on.

if i'd had a 172 at 19, i wouldn't be sat here writing this now!

by the age of 19 i'd written off 4 cars (engines and crash-wise!) and been banned once!

i wonder why your 172's not sold yet then?

I don't have a 172, if you're referring to my wifes car, then thats not sold because i haven't advertised it yet other than this forum.
So stick that up your ass.

regardless - i don't think bragging about writing off cars will help with the sale, i doubt there would be anyone who would disagree with that.

stick to topic.

 

[caymanr26]

if you decide to sell the wheels let me know

 

[Munchkin]

Tim - cough(wheel *****)cough - lol

Pot - kettle - black!!!!

 

[The Big Yin]

Wheels look nice - less common than turinis etc...

Looks like a tidy one you got ENJOY!

 

[Munchkin]

I think the wheels really suit it but it is personal choice in the end!

 

[DebV6]

Looks really nice, enjoy

 

[Laura]

wheels ahve actually really growing on me

i discovered today that it does have the ali bonnet, wasnt sure if it did. and was told it didnt have a shift light and it does, so well chuffed

 

[Fred@BTM]

yep it deffo has an ali bonnet, i quite like the wheels, they're a b*****d to fit back on though!

 

[Laura]

he he

fred did you notice the exhaust was blowing when you did the work?

i cant work out if its just the tone or its really blowing,
hopefully de-cat should be here 2 moro so will have alook then

 

[Leeshez]

very nice

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah exhaust was blowing, we weren't asked to fix it, and its not our product, so we left it alone (also from previous experience with that exhaust)

it looks like its blowing from the cat/centre section, but as i said, we didn't touch it

 

[Munchkin]

Yeah - I did mention it to Jon that it needs moving more onto the centre section but then it will affect the look of the back-box. I got fed up of trying to find a happy medium with the Ktec.

I didn't know it had a shift light either - just shows that I never pushed it!!!

 

[Laura]

lol yeah i was saying it was a good thing to jon,
i hit the limiter in 1st by accident and noticed it, was well chuffed.

yeah i thought it was coming from the cat area thats why i havnt investigated untill i get my decat , hoping that will cure it

 

[al]

Nice one laura!! Looks lovely

 

[TheJesus]

well I think once the decat arrives then we'll be able to mess around with it and see, but I think first port of call is to get the backbox fitting into the bumper, so get that cut to fit and it should make life easier... and in the words of Fred, it needs to go lower, I think it would compliment the alloys more

 

[Laura]

ive done a check and i cant really go much lower on the front with those wheels

 

[TheJesus]

can at the back though

 

[Munchkin]

These wheels are a lower offset than standard which give better handling but limit the amount of lowering. If you go to a higher offset then you can go lower but it will narrow the track of the car - pros and cons for both!

I had considered cutting out the bumper too!

 

[Justin]

nice one! i like those wheels, dont think i would bother changing them

 

[Fred@BTM]

well I think once the decat arrives then we'll be able to mess around with it and see, but I think first port of call is to get the backbox fitting into the bumper, so get that cut to fit and it should make life easier... and in the words of Fred, it needs to go lower, I think it would compliment the alloys more

nigh on impossible to fit it into the bumper mate

 

[chrisg3110]

Looks mental...i love the ph1 172's... if only i could afford insurance for one...
give it a year or so and then i think i will get one...

...nice example

aww your joking!? is that because of the way it follows the std exhaust path I'm assuming it means the back box has been angled to sit under the bumper? Trip to Cardiff may be in order, I want a new zorst for mine... a quieter one of all things... lol

 

[Laura]

aye its totally worth it

 

[Fred@BTM]

yeah its becuase of what you said

 

[Laura]

o well it was just an idea, just hope the decat sorts the blowing problem out.

 

[TheJesus]

bit pants that... ah well, it's upto Laura, I think they do look a lot better when they sit in the bumper though...

I reckon it will Laura. Easy way to check anyway, cold morning, foot over the tailpipe and see where the smoke comes from.

 

[Gaz_]

are you two (thejesus and taylor) together?

 

[Jamie _Swales]

nice car

Insurance must be a killer at 19 with all those mods

 

[Winston]

Beast!!!! ...try a sneaky ronal at the meet on wednesday

 

[artur69uk]

Looks like a minter! Enjoy it to the max
