Thats good. I let everyone else clean mine, I can't stand spending time cleaning it, knowing it'll get covered in s**t the day after.

wish i thought of that..

The 172 gets a blast with a pressure washer weekly and a proper clean twice a month

Looks so much better clean Tunst. Shame about the exhaust though. :-(

Yeah, kinda sucks but live and learn!

Also im not really rating the Apex springs, faaar to bumpy, but its mayb because its on standard shocks idk... but i might either buy some koni dampers or coilovers, undecided atm

 

[Will.]

If you get Koni dampers, let me know what they are like. I keep looking at them

They pop up in the FS section every now and again

Love 172's in PB.

Me too i wanted silver at first but iv fallen in love with this

 

[Tunst]

Not much to update on tbh, i got the exhaust mounted in the bumper, just need to crack fixed.. Taking the apex springs off and putting standards back on till i can afford some coilovers, as apex are horrible, way to crashy, il never go on eBay drunk again...

I want some new wheels and i have 2 in mind

Turinis.. Baa/Sheep etc etc

Borrowed pic:

Or 16" Oz F1's if i can find a set..

They will be in silver whatever i get..

Also going to have ago at some DIY matched inlets.

2 pretty pictures from the last meet

 

[Will.]

F1's (they look ace on PB) 15's (So much nicer to drive on, cheaper tyres) . Silver (I have ampha).

15" is to small, tried my old set on before i sold them so i think its going to have to be 16"
Il be going for silver as i think it looks a little better.

Edit:

I also have a CDA to put on once i get a elbow to fit it... PSJ gave it me for fitting his front discs

 

[Hutchie]

find me a set of 2110's and you can have my turini's

 

[Will.]

Find me a set of 2110's and I will love you forever.

 

[Tunst]

So i eventually got my arse into gea and got my rearbumper fixed, so thats kinda helped finish the rear end off... Il grab a pic later..

Iv bought some 16" F1's of PSJ getting them at the weekend.


Oh and the cats just collapsed, Fuckign shed

 

[Rob]

Decat, home-made, simples.

 

[Kyle.]

Where did you get that exhaust from?! Looks good, i need to pull my finger out and get mine clean!

 

[Tunst]

Got it custom mate at a local exhaust specialist

http://exhaustcraft.co.uk/

Very good at what he does.. If you look back in the thread you can see what the first place did to the exhaust :dead: took it to him and he completer remade it, Im going back to him this saturday to see how much he'l charge to make me a decat.


I might also be getting the bargin bus back

 

[Tunst]

Bonnet cable snapped FML :dapprove:

 

[Tunst]

Got a private plate for xmas so got that fitted..

So after buy the 16" F1's of PSJ i deciced i didnt like them so tried to sell them on but with no success! So i have put them on and they have grown on me!

(Yes my front bumper is missing)
Only pic i have atm, they are filthy in this pic, and yes it needs lowered but i like the comfort atm!

After having them fitted for a week the OZ center caps just ruining the look, so a trip to the scrap yard! Managed to get 4 Centre caps for £0

Will be having them refurbed sometime in the future as they are quite a dull silver and i think they would look much better in a brighter silver!

Also fitted some 6000k Bulbs but everyone knows what they look like :rasp:

Giving her a clean at the weekend and grab some pics before she goes off the road for a week or 2!

 

[Tunst]

Oh and im also looking into buying a Rear ARB, solid top mounts, a recliner bucket and a harness for track days also depending on how big of a job it will be mayb fit some trophy dampers

 

[Rob]

Markie boy, the F1's don't look quite right because the car's now low enough, simples. Oh and they'd look a lot better clean!!!!

Are there any more of those centre caps about? I'd kill for four. (I'll even have the o.z ones if they're not ruined).

Fitting trophy dampers isn't a big job, just a pain finding them.

 

[p@blo]

Loving the car Mark, liking the f1s. Wanted some in 16" for mine before i got the turinis.

Though about recolouring them? Anthracite with the yellow lettering as per the last run of the cups they made would look peachy imo/

Yeah i know, when i went to oulton last weekend i had a boot full of tools etc and the height was perfect it looked how i wanted it, but im loving the comfort atm plus that pic was just a trial fit before i cleaned them :rasp:

From what iv seen on here to fit the trophy dampers i need, 182 cup hubs, and shafts aswell as the dampers.. Il also keep an eye out for some more centre caps! Im going back tomorrow to get some dual optics i spotted ifg they havnt already been taken, they are mint so can make a few pennies from them

Thanks mate much appriciated, im not so keen on anthracite on black tbh silver looks much better but it will be a few months before i refurb them so i have time to decide

 

[Tunst]
