It was at shakespeare, hopefully will be going again later in the year once I have sorted out the ECU issues. It did run a 13.8 but that was with a turbo and running rough.
Santa Pod is supposed to be quicker now after they relaid their track last year
172 2001,
88k, most service history, just been serviced. belts last done at 45k 2008 so due very soon.
Little bit of carpark damage,
Decat, K-tec Steath, Map
Any idea?
The car has:
Tubular manifold and ss exhaust, decat and a airfilter.

I know the ecu isnt the greatest but i cant see how this...
Having some problems with my 172 cup turbo.
Giving it stick from stationary, through the gears up to 5th the boost is fine, runs and pulls very well. Boosts to 10psi....
Lift off, slow down, accelerate from 3rd and it boosts to 14psi, engine misfires and sounds awful.....
Slow down to 20mph...
I have used this with mixed results. It is by no means as shiny as it shows on the car. I had a sheet of carbon and put it next to this and it probably is the best imitation I have seen.
However, it doesn't seem to wrap very well. It looked great when my mirrors were first wrapped but it is...
