I bought a group N ecu from Hillpower a year or two back for my Mk2 172. Same as the R-Sport ecu AFAIK. It's now surplus to requirements - is it possible to get it unlocked so I can sell it? Cheers, Gareth

Where can I go to get my 172 tested that has a good reputation, in Manchester/Cheshire/Merseyside area? I have previously used ProSport in Stockport and Mikeanics in Congleton, but it'd be better if it was someone that was regularly used by folks on here. Cheers, Gareth

What's the bore of the standard pipe?

bought a pup then? It's a custom powerflow - would he be able to redo it with larger bore sections but the same silencer and backbox?

57mm. No plans for remap as I already paid for the group N ecu... /G

Not very happy with my 172's performance since having a custom system and sports cat fitted last week. I have always preferred low-end torque over high-end power and was doing quite well on this front with a few minor breathing mods. I even ditched my Hillpower IK because the car was much...

I know I've been on about this a bit lately, but I've still not got the info I need :( I am fitting a sequential shift light that is supposed to work okay with a feed off the coil negative. I tried it with pin 3 off the coil pack as recommended for the Omex sequential, but it wasn't having...

Sorry - Nick Hill did that bit for me as I had one of his IKs for a while. I guess once the airbox is out it shouldn't be too bad.

Neil - I did away with the OEM filter hose and valve. I bought some SFS cold air ducting (68mm I think) which is good quality and a perfect fit for the hole left in the airbox. This drops straight down - inboard of the headlamp stuff, don't need to move anything - to the wheelarch area, where I...

Yes - I run a 69mm SFS hose straight from the front inlet on the airbox down to a Hillpower scoop in the wheelarch. The SFS hose is wider and keeps its shape much better than the tin foil jobby that Nick fitted originally. The airflow must be alright - you can hear induction noise when the...

Yes and yes :) (got mine last Friday - full powerflow system and sports cat)

Similar set up to my own: 57mm full system with sports cat, ITG filter + silicone elbow + SFS cold air feed, Group N ECU. I've only done about 50 miles since the exhaust was fitted. Past experience says the ECU could take a couple of hundred miles to notice it. Anyway, revs into 7000s much...

Yep - the quietest they do! Actually it's okay at idle (rumbles) and you can't really hear it above the engine once into 3000+ rpm. But around town in the 2000s it's pretty embarrassing (for someone my age ;) )

Shame. First impressions of my "quiet" powerflow is it's too loud.

found it (subscribed!)...
