Project 172 **** ITB'S - 204bhp *** Redline Featured ***



Though it was about time i started a project thread, something i can keep updating when new things are done.

To bring people up to the present day

After the Punto GT died, i thought id go for something a little more, reliable maybe? Something that could handle. Looked at various things, Type r, etc. But the 172 really did it for me. For the money, it seemed a bargain.

Travelled to sheffield to pick this up, completely standard.

First mod was a viper IK, but that seemed to be worse than the standard box, so was removed about a week later.

Next came a smaller aerial from an s2000

Then team dynamics pro race 1.2s for £200 :evil:

Then it was lowered fitted with new badges, and ring bound :cool:

After the ring had fooked my brakes, i decided on some 4 pots ;)
HiSpec 300mm discs, 4 pot calipers and braided lines

Next came some PTFE gaskets, these helped to reduce inlet temps very well.

Re: Project 172 ****

Hi, what size are the team dynamic wheels and were did you get them from for so cheap. I really like them and was going to get some clio 182 (the dark grey type) wheels for mine but those are much nicer.

Also how much is your car lowered?

Exhaust is from Kam racing, they dont sell them anymore, sometime they appear every now and then on ebay.

888's were from camskill, £398 delivered i think, then £30 fitting this morning :)
