Perfectly normal for a 172. My clutch is on 120000 miles, and has always been at the top of the travel.

If your going to get a 182 manifold and a sports cat why not get the 182 link pipe sports cat and the manifold at the same time and it's a straight bolt on swap then

I'm sure I read on the discontinuing parts thread that some guy was collecting ones of these which aren't broken lol.

I decat mine last year, lasted about a week before I bought a new cat, the noise on motorways was unbearable. But I was running a straight through ktec stealth exhaust, I have now got a centre silencer and cat, makes its just about bearable on everyday driving.

I'd be going to efi or rs tuning with an sm inlet

They won't fit. Well, they will, sort of, but the outer casing will be about half an inch too short to locate properly into the caliper, but the inner cable will fit.

Might be worth shorting the positive and ground pins on the heater resistor plug behind the scuttle panel. If the fan comes to life then then I suspect a dodgy heater resistor pack, cheap enough to fix of your handy with a soldering iron, or you can buy a full unit on eBay

If you put the fan on full speed can you hear the motor spinning up?

Everything else should work fine without the AC, if your blowers aren't working then something else is not right.

http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=4172 Ktec seem to suggest that cups require phase 1 cables although I'm not entirely sure on the difference.

Ah right. I just assumed that what he said In his first post about having the matte black trim was the same as what your are suggesting fitting.

That's what he's already got on isn't it?

6 ;)

Lol. No idea tbh, seems odd they used 2 different versions though, but I did think that was the idea behind a bearing supported 2 piece shaft.

Why would you want to remove the support bearing? Isn't it there to help reduce torque steer due to one shaft been longer than the other?

Yeh you can save a copy of the original map on your laptop if you wish to go back to standard. Rs tuner does have an option for custom maps where you send him some logged data and he will map to suit but it's not cheap. Don't forget, the standard map is a generic map to suit all cars off the...

True. But it will probably be a better map.

Be cheaper to drive all the way to Chris at efi. He only charges 179 on a stock engine. I bet it wouldn't cost you 140 in fuel.

Nah, does nothing, just needs to be plugged in. Mines been hanging from then abs sensor wiring for years as I ruined the threads getting it out of my old cat It only needs mapping out if your planning on unplugging it completely.

Higher rev limiter and slightly higher than normal idle are the usual things to check. But I'm not sure if this applies to phase 1 or not as the cable throttle may be different?
