my workhorse 172

[subarufreak]

didn't have to work this week, wanted to work in my garden
removed the leaves, dirt, clipped the trees,...

but all the, um, just that had to be brought to the dumpin site so in the clio it went

had to do some b-roads too

hadn't been cleaned in a few weeks
so between rainfall in:

all clean again

after all those years, I still love it. use it for just about everyting, moving, work, to go to work, fun, go to the shops,...

very nice, strange seeing one at standard ride height, most arnt these days

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Very tidy !! You'll be finding spiders and insects in there for weeks now... :dapprove:

I spy an Impreza :evil:

 

[Christopher]

Love it.

 

[subarufreak]

Martin, will lower it and change the wheels for the summer

yess, my Impreza always sits in the garage

 

[Poopensharten]

Very nice example! Splitters a little big?

A Cupra R/Skoda splitter would complement it all day long

172 looks lovely mate, very nice.

Looking forward to putting my f1's on now

It's probably broken

 

[mat-nos]

looks nice and tidy, not a fan of the exhust though....

Is it ment to be dirty in those pics?

My car lives on dirty shitty b-roads.

Car looks nice though

 

[subarufreak]

it has been browner with dirt but yess, that's ment to be dirty, pics don't do the dirt justice :wink:

Danny, I removed the lower cm, 1.5cm from the splitter, I love it or the look from it and it does its job with protecting the bumper so it's staying for now

Rob, the subaru isn't broken. I hardly use it, did about 2000km last year...
including Spa Francochamps

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

Looks nice! wish i was on standard ride height

 

[subarufreak]

hehe, I wish mine was lowered allready...

No, don't mess with the suspension. Just renew the shocks with new ones from Renault. The Ph1 172 handling is awesome out of the box... mine was best when it was standard.

ComedyRob up there, was just digging towards me as mine is currently not fuelling. A fun job for this weekend for me :dapprove:

At the end of day it's still a car... a means of transport; as long as you clean it now and then, your allowd to haul tree stumps! :approve:

Is it covered in major man juice on the 5th pic?

 

[Leeshez]

What a beauty.

who knows... :wink:

yeah, had about 100kg of potatoes in it too

was thinking about eibach springs and 16 oz f1s in black
if I don't like it, I'll just return it to stock

 

[Ralphizzle]

I was thinking about adding some wheel spacers...

Here's a reference pic. of standard v. Eibachs. Subtle drop, and less brake dive (initial compliance).

 

[subarufreak]

it doesn't need to be low to the ground. want eibachs for the look, to get rid of some bodyroll and because they supposed to keep the ride comfort as close as stock. I have problems with my back so I can use the comfort the car has allready

 

[Ralphizzle]

Sounds like you need Coil-overs!

Eibach have a drop, Pro Lines or Sport Lines.
