R5GTT = 1/4 in 12.1 thats gotta be the in the top 5 surely ?? i have a video somewhere ill dig it out :D p.s not my car bye the way. mine only manages a poor 13.9

100% agree, these would be the 1st parts to fail .

my brothers g/f had this problem, renault changed the plugs still does it they now say it could be injectors or ECU :( each time its in there charging £25 for insurance on C/car :@

Was that at northampton motorsport?? if it was i organised that event and i remember your car, didnt it get 175bhp ATF ?? mine was the white 5 i got 170 ATWs if you can post the video i would really like to see it again :D

i put my mum as a named driver, went down £200 :D try elephants online system see what you get.

im 21 with 1 yrs NCB mk1 172 = £900 Fully comp R5GTT = £600 Fully comp, all mods decared agree value £4000 :D thats with elephant. i had a 300zx TT, £1800 for the import, £900 for the uk spec ??? makes my blood boil :@ uk spec ones are rare and over priced.

but wont it void your insurance, as it is an import. i had an import 300zx tt, the price doubled as soon as i mentioned it was a import.

watch your insurance m8 imports cost A LOT more, get a quote before you buy :D

only if you fail the emission test, DE-CATS are NOT illegal, if you can pass the emission test without a cat then your car is legal . [Edited by JayGTT on 06 December 2004 at 4:46pm]

im putting my 172 on the rollers next saturday ;) Theres a RR shootout at Jamsport in northampton, its gonna be full of R5GTTs but im butting in :D if anyones in the area, come along should be a good day. I wont beat the figure my GTT put out in the summer but my 172 is only standard. Shall we...

ive been to a few rolling road events in my time with the RTOC, i cant believe how much the figures change from RR to another. Went to Europarts last year one bloke got 275 bhp which is all the RR can measure to :o i organised a RR event using my local RR operator ( ive used them loads...

100% agree 5GTT is more tunable there are far more performance parts on the market cam, e.t.c . Also the volvo Turbo ECU wont let u run more then 14 psi i think theres no way of changing it unless you convert to carb, and the carb you have to use is from a GTT anyway ;)

:D ill add it to my Xmas list :D

its the noise im worried about the most really, its noisy enough all ready :D think i might do it then :)

hello all, ive had my 172 for about 2 weeks now, its my practical car as i have a R5GTT for the summer :D anyway my questions are about de-cating my 172, is it worth the hassle i.e does it make it very very noisy ( i dont want this ) and are the power gains worth the hassle of re-fiting for...
