Time flies. Now that the car has been in our posession for 3 years it's time for it to go and we've gone and snapped a few photos for an advert. While the car won't be of interest to you I've decided you might enjoy the pictures.
Ha, glad to meet another Fastlapper.
Missed my registration for the 4th stage, the list went full too quick, but will probably be there as a spectator.
The build looks good, hope to see it in action :)
Hello!
I'm baffled with this problem now. A bit of a history: some time ago our 172 developed a clunking noise when steering. I haven't had time to deal with it myself and drove the car to a workshop who diagnosed that steering rack had to be rebuilt. They've sent out the rack for refurbishing...
MOT had expired while the car was in a workshop. Got everything ready for inspection today but haven't managed to update registration with the new color, will have to wait until Wednesday to make it legal to drive around. Due to this I also couldn't drive to a car wash, so took photos as the car...
A teaser phone pic. About a week old.
In the other news, Advan wheels arrived today and new winter tyres should be here tomorrow. More pictures to follow in the next few days :)
So prepping's almost done and we'll finally spray the car on weekend. But still can't decide on colour :rolleyes:. SWMBO is certain she wants wheels to be yellow (Advan RG's they'll be), but which body colour to go for - blue or white?

Hello,
I guess I need a bit of help with steering bosses. I've bought an OMP steering boss for wifes 172 ph1 and she found it to be too long to be comfortable, steering wheel mounted on this boss is positioned too far away from steering column stalks. The trader I've bought it from accepted it...
Glad to hear from someone from Baltics!
No, that's another one. Ours come from Arvis Vecvagars who is local ex-rally driver.
In the other news, today we were at a paint shop and swmbo decided she also likes a specific kind of blue. After looking at 50 shades of blue she chose an interesting...
I'm not sure I'm loving the bumper but I don't find it such hideous either though. Anyway the exhaust is as old as the car is and won't last long so a new one along with a matching bumper is in order in a not too distant future.
Re the colour, we actually were inspired by some white ph1s posted...
To start I better repeat what I've already posted in the newbie forum. Here it goes.
After a two month long head-scratching and family dispute-provoking process my other half finally settled her mind and today we've bought her a Ph1 FF 172. She drove an Alfa 156 for last 5 years, but lately the...
Thank you! Hopefully we'll make a couple of good pictures on the weekend to post here.
And re our car selection, I'll take the liberty of posting a couple of photos of our other cars.
Here is my road & track toy Roadster:
and this is our family hauler:
RS should make a good addition to this...
Hello!
After a two month long head-scratching and family dispute-provoking process my other half finally settled her mind and today we've bought her a Ph1 FF 172. She drove an Alfa 156 for last 5 years, but lately the Alfa became a real pain to maintain, so it was sold for shed money. Then...
