This was taken from a trackday a snetterton. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y108/JayGTT/Snetterton_May2005_38.jpg ^^ Incase your wondering that is a Clio cup racer & an orginal R5GTT CUP car . The clio was the fastest car of the day infact, before it broke :(

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y108/JayGTT/DSC00643.jpg Love my Mk 1.

i would change it early, renault did have a service at 3k i think, but removed it.??,

its about 2 wks before. got mine for £680 thats on a mk1 172 im 22 & 2yrs NCB worth doing a quote on there online system first gives you an idea. elephant put mine up after a year so i rang them and asked why it soon went down.

CAN OF WORMS power figures are. Rolling roads are not very accurate IMO. my STANDARD 172 got 175bhp and 170 Ft bl of torque (standard is 150 ft lb) :o haha says it all really. im going POD on the 18th of june, ill show you what a Mk1 172 can do lol :D

i get this smell and i dont even have a standard exhaust. its the brakes that smell thats why they only do it after a hard drive i.e (on the brakes alot)

i never spin my wheels, i like my wheels bearings, clutch, gearbox, driveshafts, bushes to much. plus you go alot faster when your wheels arent spinning .

R5GTT!!!! why bother messing around with fords components when you have a lot easier option. :)

brakes, clutch its normal m8

Had a custom exhaust fitted yesterday with the cats removed aswell. i knew it was gonna be loud, but nothing prepared me for when i started it. Luckly i dont do motorway miles :o i might do a video clip and show you what i mean. Does everyone with de-cat systems have Bleeding ears? lol

Maybe this is why he popped a driveshaft out?? driveshaft not lined up right?

Everyone get there De-Cat pipe from ?? :) i need one ASAP please

Hello and welcome . Air in system? Was it bleed after rad change?? Faultly Termostat? Need more info really, does the guage go higher when driving? does the fan kick in? why was the rad changed? e.t.c

The VNT turbo is still very experimental a few people have got them to work fine, but they are VERY expensive looking at £1000+ A T25 is a good match between power and LAG, it will start boosting up at around 3500. K-tec racing and BB tuning also do the fuel pump your after. have a look on...

Lotus Elise ECU :cry: i might go and stick one on my mums ford KA i might get 150bhp :confused: :p MUPPET

dont forget that it WILL have over 150 ft bl of torque aswell :) trust me it will be quick. a standard gtt will keep up with 172s at 15 psi you out accelrate one easy. if you wanna go over 16psi i would recommend water injection and a bigger turbo. full t25 would be good (.49 comp housing...

RR figures can be doctered very easliy ;) mine gained an extra 20 ftbl of torque and its STANDARD :cry:

the rears hardly do anything, the fronts discs take the strain. cup brakes are no different same as 172.

ive never been in one only ever saw 1 on the road. i hope driving it is as good as looking at it

let me sort my 172 out then ill go looking :D dont like messing people around. cant wait im like a kid in a candy shop.

One of the major problems with this Volvo engine is that the ignition controler also has an overboost switch. Unlike the GTT, on which it was possible just to plug it out, on the volvo it is hard to tamper with it. The result is that with this ECU it is not possible to go above 0.9-1 bar...

if i had a aftermarket filter i would do an air temp test as i have a little device i made that measures charge temps which i used for my GTT :) i bet the standard filter is as good, and with the spare £60+ in my wallet i might just go and put some petrol in my car ;)

just been looking on autotrader, prices seems to vary between £13000 and £17000 ??? how much should i pay for one. dont mind private but dealer would be better so i can trade my 172 in. ive got to get one

sorry mines just standard :D http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y108/JayGTT/DSC00643.jpg
