I am looking forward to picking it up, already have plans for Koni dampers :)

The car seems really genuine and very well looked after from a fellow enthusiast. I was going to buy this but due to change of circumstances I bought a Panda 100 in the end.

^ I like the motorsport looks of this :)

Thank you Claude, a very informative reply :)

Lowering is not always better, there are cases where a car rolls more when lowered due to the roll centre being wrong (been there and done it with factory option STi springs in a FSTi). Also a suspension needs travel to work (unless you travel on smooth roads or on track). On a different note...

What improvement over the standard springs do the MF ones give?

Is the roll centre not affected by lowering the car a futher 2cm?

I am also after one for the 182 as I was only pointed to the one below which I think is for the 172 only? Or are they common for both models? https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eh8ke9p26msy3r6/eoI_Kaa2Em

Thanks. Where is the car based?

What was the problem with the engine (exhaust steaming and leak underneath) and have you got that sorted?

Was the clutch replaced when the gearbox was done? Indeed a record on the dampers.

Have the dampers never been refurbished? Was it a new gearbox that was fitted or a good second hand one?

Beautiful car! Fancy selling? ;)

Any pics? What diameter, width and offset?

When you say diff rebuild, what was wrong with it or did you just change the bearings? The diff bearings should be reasonably priced (they were around £80 or so for my 205 GTi about 10 years ago). Indeed about the Quaife, I had it in both my 205 GTis and it was one of the best modifications...
