Make sure you use a decent running in oil or race oil, needs to have a high Zinc content. I used Millers stuff: https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-115257-millers-oils-cro-10w-40-competition-running-in-mineral-engine-oil-2017.aspx

I will probably get the Klarius one, found it on carparts4less.co.uk for £128 delivered to Jersey. The car is just a work horse so not bothered by performance or weight just want it to be nice and quiet!

If I had the option to go custom It would be considered, but I am in Jersey so not really an option unfortunately. What is the cabin noise like with the PMS? the main gripe I have with the Ktec is the drone inside the cabin. Such a s**t exhaust the Ktec, it doesn't even sound nice. Just sounds...

PMS do a stealth, but still to noisy really. I want it to be quiet, if BTB still did exhaust for the 172 I would buy one in a heart beat.

Hi Guys, I'm looking to buy a good quality standard exhaust for my 172, the Ktec Stealth it has on currently does my head in. I want standard noise levels but something that isn't going to fall apart after 12 months. Does anyone know of any good options? Cheers Mike

Nice work! how are you sensing the down shifts? just using the cut switch on the box itself?

I think one of these would be ideal for taking to the track, not to big and modular so you dont have to lug the whole thing around the pits. https://www.motamec.com/motamec-modular-tool-box-trolley-mobile-cart-4-module-stack-cabinet-chest-c41h.html

Looks ok to me, roughly how mine are.

That process is NLR if you use the ARP Ultra-Torque lube that comes with the bolts now.

Be good if you can make them with a grease nipple, I fitted some to my cup racer and being able to pump grease through the bearing massively improves the bearings life span.

Can also be the Yaw sensor under the handbrake if you have ESP.

EBC Yellows are "OK", they cope with quite a bit of heat but don't give the greatest braking performance or modulation, they are also like wood from cold. Alright for the money I guess but it's worth spending extra IMO.

AlanWalk - If the tyres are E marked they are legal to use on UK roads in any weather condition, irrelevant of the manufactures target use. I think you are confusing the fact that that some 1C tyres use to be E marked and are no longer. Some people have obviously been burnt by a plod that is not...

I'm running a Mercedes A Class electric pump on my car and it is much lighter than standard, not sure how that fall's in with your regs but it retains the hydraulic rack etc.

Sounds like a dodgy caliper or you have you lines connected to the wrong ports on the M/C to me.
