Fancied one of these for a while so went and bought one to have a play with. Basically because I've always wanted one and off the 'ring next may do will be taking this over for plenty of abuse round there.
Monaco blue, phase 2 75k loads of receipts.
Day I collected it
Air filter replaced putting v6micks old ram air to good use!
LED number plate bulb
Tints out as they looked terrible
Also forgot to say car has the cup spoiler which sorts the back end out a right treat!
Will be painting the inlet and engine cover this week also mirrors back to Monaco blue.
Big bits after Christmas as I'm badgering a guy for some compomotives then some coil overs and naughty carbonne Lorraine RC5+ pads

Very nice even in the worst colour. They make better power with the standard airbox rather than filters aswell.

Feels fine with the filter chaps. A lot more lively above 5k.
Agree about the colour too Monaco is the best for a 172

My old Cup was super loud, with a induction kit at over 130. Good fun cars.

Get it supercharged. Mates old one ran 259bhp on standard internals. Blew gearboxes for fun but he does drive hard, very hard.

Im intruiged by turbocharged these. However, not sure it would ruin the car.
It really only needs about 10% more power and it would be perfectly setup
