What is "road legal track car" about the yellow 172?
Removed rear seat = Track day monster
.Forwarding it to him as he's been struggling to find a decent 172/5 GTT for a couple of grand. The fact that this one has had the suspension and brakes sorted is just a bonus... If I was slightly more indecisive I'd be looking at it for myself!

I'm in no rush, I'll find another car
This took 990 posts. 990 posts, man! What the hell is wrong with you?
They will all need doing these days unless done. As I already mentioned 10-12year old rubber bushes with say 60k+ (minimum) on them will be very worn indeed and replacing them will transform the car.
Total cost to do it the Honda OEM way will be a lot of money hence people going down the uprated route or the hardrace kit. Hardrace kit is about £250 and that gets you most the bushes, then pickup some OEM RTA bushes for £50 and you should have most of them. But then think about damper/springs that might need doing if on original ones then ball joints, track rod ends and it starts to add up.
I got adjustable camber arms (SPC) for mine as they wern't an awful lot more than trying to source the bushes for the UCA (camber) arms, plus I went with superflex polybushes rather than hardrace/mugen/OEM.
I think you've given the game away, tbh, as I've only ever discussed the my living arrangements with one person outside of family, do you make a habit of talking to Saxo owners, by any chance?
I dont really know many Saxo owners, I am unsure who you think I am but I certainly have never spoken to you in Person, after all i live in Glasgow and you live on the Isle of Wight.
I did come to the Island in 2004 to see Paul Weller is that where we discussed your living arrangements?
I guess OCUK are your family then are they?
If my mortgage advisor (a personal friend) thinks she can get it done, I have no reason to doubt her
That alsmost looks to me like discussing your living arrangements on a public forum that Google picks up on if you search for MikeHIOW
I came onto this forum as you joined up on EK9.org and I did a little searching to see who we were dealing with, after all you were making offers on a car that I used to own I was just interested that is all. Then I stumbled across this diatribe that seems to be most of your threads, I could not really stay quiet as I barely believe you even existed as a real person, your posts are incredible and make more U turns than my TomTom.
I thank you for the entertainment you have provided me Mike, you sir are a legend.
As for my sources of info just search, Google is your friend.
Its like Wiki only factual.
I am not attacking, this is mere rib tickling.
I care because I import Jap cars, that is why I sold the last one to help fund my business start up.
I could help you
I know enough to know I do not want one.
Indeed, monster headed blind ones that ignore all other road users and think a flasher is something that takes its clothes off and does not need to be used when turning junctions.

Is there still any money in importing from Japan? I thought that was all played out 10 years ago.
