You get what I mean though, if the engine is down on power to begin with it may not respond well to mods. I'm not trying to say anyone's car is rubbish, no no. Simply saying not one car is the same as another.
Ah I see what you mean. So! If the car has the better manifold (by chance) then the extra mods will not really be worth it, well, pretty much un-noticeable.
Hmmm, luck of the draw really I guess then.
To the OP, save up and by a mahooosive turbo. Then everyone will be happy and the world will be bright and sunny and girls with big boobies :quiet: will love you long time. :approve: :rasp:
You spend very little with Angleoworks I'd execept he's have been able to get more gains if you've given him the whole cash lump.
No point changing the cat IMo unless yor decatting since srtock very good anyway.
As others have said you spent what is essence tiny amount of cash to tune.
He's always said theres different ones in terms of quality.

I have an RS tuning remap, Janspeed sports cat', custom exhaust, phase 1 airbox and panel and Ben's inlets.
I haven't had it RR'd since the mods but standard it kicked out 171bhp. It now walks 172's and 182's so there has been a gain somewhere.
I was slightly dismayed by the inlets as there is no kick in the back as you expect. As you drive the car more, you realise the gain is in the mid-range rather than further, something that I am pleased with but may not suit others. This has been tested back to back with a friends standard car.

There is no inadvertent humour to speak of. People expect to achieve everything for nothing and are somewhat deluded by the figures and quotes banded about on here.
Ignorance is bliss, until you hand over your cash and the reality hits home. The gains (to an extent) are there, just not where the majority expect them or would like them to be.

Chances are, you won't have an RS manifold mate.

As I said, it depends what you want and what you expect.
For me, every mod so far has been with the intention of improving mid-range torque, the inlet added to that.
If you approach the inlet with the mindset that it will add 10bhp top end, you may well be disappointed.
Seek solace in the fact that the earlier cars had much worse castings than later cars so the potential for gains will be greater.

Jut as Len says, have done a Throttle body conversion on mine and what a load of old crap IMO, yes it goes slightly better and sounds awesome but its just not what I expected.
I'm glad I dont get involved in the Tuning business as its fairly hard to get gains on an engine that is already tuned rather well standard.

Was it just pot luck that an RS manifold was fitted or do all ie Cups have them.
Seems bit odd the an RS would not have an RS manifold.
Why????

AFAIK, they were mainly fitted to 182's. One or two later 172's had one fitted although I doubt they would have even been in existence when a Y plate car was released.
It is pot luck though to an extent.
i just put up a sticker on the boot of my 197, the difference is massive
loads more grunt all the way to the rev limit.
And I did a bit of weight saving, I work-out every day, lost a few pounds.
Much faster but the back end seems more loose when i lift-off mid corner.
And I also wear only white t-shirts

I remember reading an article in Lax Power when I was younger. It featured an Ecosse 306 Sedan 3 door. The car had custom door mirrors fitted, the caption under the photo said 'Ecosse mirrors, proven to give 10bhp across the rev' range', a lad reading the article with me picked the phone up to actually order some for his 1.2 Nova. Tool.

I think you will find the RS inlet on 2004 onwards which means it is on the last of the 172's. My 04' plate had one fitted, not any longer as I exchanged mine at AWT knowing they would be the same once machined and that I would possibly gain less over an earlier inlet, hence the reasoning that earlier models respond better to this mod, even tho it might not be physically noticable......could you tell the difference with a 7.0 sec. 0-60 over a 7.2, I defo couldn't, becuase i'd imagine this is all were talking about. Maybe in gear 30-70 might be a few fractions of a second quicker too or half a car length.
The reasoning behind combining this mod is to maximise the gains as alone it is very little and unoticable.........IMO
Adam, highly unlikely you will have an RS inlet, if your considering getting your inlets done I think the re-map is worthwhile. Might be worth putting mine and yours back to back and then you will see if mines quicker. BTW....did you have agood holiday

I heard it's been very hot out there, too hot maybe!
Just PM'd him about that polished mount, not heard anything back.
Will have to get together one weekend/evening when the weather is ok. Any quiet roads round your neck of the woods?
