£1000 to spend

[FlameR]

If you had £1000 to spend on a pretty much standard ph2 172, what would u do. I've already got a carbon splitter and BMC CDA.

Changed my mind about getting a 182 cup, just going to put a bit of money into making mine better.

Tempted by white turinis and a stealth exhaust

 

[Josh@Renparts]

anthracite wheels suits flame red really well...

 

[duncansharp]

Either H&R Coilover properly setup or:
Eibach Sportlines, Stealth exhaust, Wheels or Inlet matched + remapped

 

[FlameR]

I've also already got it lowered on eibach pros 25mm at the back at 15 at the front

Everyone raves about coilovers. Do they make a massive difference to the handling and ride quality of the car?

 

[Timmay]

anthracite wheels suits flame red really well...

oh yes!

 

[FlameR]

Yeah they do look pretty awesome, but white on flame red looks pretty horny as well. Where's the cheapest place/website to get 16" turinis

youve already done the handling so i would decat, machined inlet and remap and pocket the rest of the money

yeah.

 

[Davey_182]

Have you got an lcd tv?

 

[Davey_182]

or your own house, if not save up

 

[Michael172]

aye saving would be the wisest option.

 

[Davey_182]

Cheers Mike, support at last!! :approve:

 

[FlameR]

Saving is for chumps, I'm living for the moment lol.
Just gonna get some new wheels for now

 

[Batman]

or your own house, if not save up

is this coming from someone thats has thousands of savings in the bank? because the majority of people that say save it dont actually have any savings! let alone the disposable

 

[Peperami]

h&r coilovers, with mark fish to set them up. That is all.

 

[fuel_slut]

decat, itg panel filter, remap, matched inlets. Dont botherd with lowering as you have to live everyday with the car.

 

[Steve2004]

Itg panel filter, inlet match and remap. Should still have plenty of change which you can then pocket/spend on something else altogether.

 

[mat-nos]

filter, remap and matched manifold, decat and exhaust and white wheels....

job done

 

[Fletcher]

I'd go fora set of H&R, or Blistein coilovers

 

[Day]

I'd go for Koni Adjustable dampers.

Full blown coilovers are too hardcore for 99% of applications.

 

[LegoHead]

Coilovers are the only mod to do. dont chase any power on na engine, too expensive. But saying that, I would probably have done it myself if i kept the 172.

I have some H+R coilovers for your car, I'm willing to let them go for almost half retail price.

 

[Sunburn]

how much is 1/2 price Dave? maybe interested ->172Cup

 

[LegoHead]

430.

 

[Neil G]

Brakes and or suspension is the way to go

 

[MOFO]

straight through pipe with de-cat and a re-map and the rest on petrol to enjoy the first 2.

 

[LegoHead]

Brakes are a must! Just spent £250 on some ferodo ds2500 and brembo max discs. They are only 30 miles old and they bite hard!

or your own house, if not save up

wise words, dont let that money burn a hole in your pocket, youll need it soon enough for wear & tear items, tyres, brakes, exhaust etc..
