just got an almost standard 172 today, My low blow engine from my cup will be going in so it needs to handle nicely for fast road set up. Any recommendations? Ktec seem to be cheapest, bilstiens are also appealing but are more expensive, also kw do an entry level. I want fixed as its lessle...

Its the size and font used in the lettering, so my guess is as long as the letters and numbers meet requirements then the plate can be cut down to just around it, so cant legally go much smaller

Turbo timer keeps the engine running on idle for a set time, after pulling out the key and locking her up. gives the turbo a longer lifespan, get one for about £70 demon tweeks

Believe me when i say a standard 172 can pull away quicker than mine from stand still

Yeah thats mine, first one done by efi and clio turbo, not actually sure any others have been done, its a nightmare in first gear, hardly any lag then just spins like mad, cant full throttle first gear at all, spins when changing to second if you manage to get a good gear change, mid range is ok...

@RichieJA Ive got the low boost kit fitted to my sm inlet by clioturbo,

T1rs, dont hate me ha, gona get ad08r asap,

Havent had camber checked no, whats ? I got pms top mounts and their brace

Apart from the tracking being done not too many miles ago, theres no vibrations from the steering or wheels so as far as im aware im all ok. If thats what you meant.

The steering is hard to control in 2nd and 3rd around the 5-6k rpm range, ive let my mrs have a go and she has the same problem with it, i have epas and pro race 3 alloys which are mega light, im gona turn the steering down so it gets heavier and hope that helps. Ill be weary of 1st gear wheel...
