Hi Chaps, Bought my second 172 a couple of weeks back, Its a silver ph1 172, 100k miles, few owners, every MOT, still on dealer plates, lowered slightly, stainless discreet exhaust, colour coded handles and bump strips etc. Bodily its nigh on mint, interior is very good, pulls very well...

thats very foolish of you Chris, I managed to fit Koni's to my Mk1 gti back in the day but i decided to stick the little badge just above the rear bumper, she spotted that and went mental!, i learnt from it though. I even managed to fit a Supercharger to my MK3 VR6 Highline a few years back...

Yes mate, all good although i havent driven it since Friday, picked up another engine on Sat, had a brand new VAG head fitted in 2002 along with new chains and tensioners,spotless inside with no sludge whatsoever so thatll be going in this week:cool:. As for the missus, you just have to be...

Having seen this car under fluorescent lighting (which shows everything) on Friday i came to the conclusion that its immaculate!. Real Gem you have there Chris. And thanks again for Friday matey, really appreciated. Cheers Pete.

Who said anything about spending 200 quid for two tyres? There are plenty of better options out there for a few more quid than the Woo Wungs.

Hankook are hardly a budget brand anymore!, The V12 Evo is comparable price wise with some of the top end brands, it got a good reputation and has out performed some of the big names in testing hence why its price has crept up. And thats why ive just ordered 4 for my Corrado Vr6..

Nice one John. I knew it was a quick one just by driving it!. Makes me realise that the Corrado Vr6 ive just bought is no quicker and thats remapped by AMD to 201bhp and 190lb/ft. She does clean up nicely doesnt she:cool: Oh and is that the two bucket method i see:rasp:

Hi Chris Hows it goin?!:cool: Pete.

Take it that alls running well now John:cool: I know she was a quick little thing, just not me if you know what i mean.

Nice Car:D. Dont worry John, weather is pretty pants down here too, i wanted to get out on the Corrado for a couple of hours between going back to work but currently P'ing down. And it still looks fairly clean even after those 500 miles!

I think we can let you off for that!, Hopefully the ECU reset will sort it John.

Main thing will be the toe out, The more you lower the more toe out you get,Keep an eye on the inside edges of the tyres.

Ha Ha about the unadventurous bit, I think ive had more variety of cars and done more engine conversions than most in my 37 years.. Im just being realistic, go for it if you really think its worth it and you can justify not just the throttle body conversion cost but everything that goes with...

And i bet the quote wont be any different for a 1.6 16v with all the mods on it and throttle bodies. Who is your present insurance with?, im surprised they will insure you on a modified 1.6 16v but not a 172. Reality is that insurance is expensive for young drivers with little experience for a...

Fair enough re: the bank think, your profile says unemployed though.. And im looking at the green Clio youve just posted pictures of,its not the best of examples to throw money into imho... I just dont see the point of spending 2k on throttle bodies when the rest of the car will also need...
