Glad to see you still love playing with your cars, bit like the old rallye

Its getting de-cat, matched inlets & remap in Feb (after MOT and good for 185bhp then), with H&R/Bilstein coilovers being fitted in April for next summers track driving Smile

Leaving the coilovers till last as they're pretty darn expensive Crazy

But having been on here since August 2004 (when i owned a 306 Rallye) i thought it would be nice to keep everyone up to date on argueably the Rallyes more modern (but not necessarily better) equivalent Smile - my neeeeeed for coilovers grows daily though Whistle

Nice car, before I bought my GTI-6 I had a look round at 172s.

Unfortunatly, CS have made it paid members only viewable on the for sale and wanted section, never used to be that way!
