    172mk2 vs fiat coupe 20v turbo

    20v was had quite bad lag i thought, a chassis that models the austin princess for handling ability and the brakes were gone in 1 mild of B roads.......crap. Sounded good though.

    Best place to go for inlet manifold matching 172

    There are the only pics i have really. Only pic i have of a std manifold face, hard to see but you can just make out the problem with std manifolds. The rest is the geneal modification stages and the finish achieved. It is of the heavy manifold rework, but just so you can get an idea...

    Best place to go for inlet manifold matching 172

    On the advice of financial planner gary, prices have now gone up. How much am i charging now gary? And yes, i think they are too cheap aswell, it gets very boring and painfull doing them solid.

    182 suspension (cup), what's the best upgrade?

    it just sounded like you wear swearing into a fan constantly.

    2.2 Conversion?????

    Ironically, it will become a relatively peaky engine to get an 8v to carry on making power till 8000rpm. 16v's are better all round if your going to rev it.

    Best place to go for inlet manifold matching 172

    £150 for the modified manifolds, £40 fitting......BUT, i am so busy at the moment i just cant take on anymore fitting jobs for a while.

    182 suspension (cup), what's the best upgrade?

    Gaz were apalling..........no getting round it, practically laughable when we dynoed the damper......you could call it an on/off damper. And guys, take it from me.....the ledas are better all round, with a much larger and usable range of adj. On maximum stiff yours were killer, on maximum...

    I'm not 100% sure what nick does so i cannot comment. But i rework all mating faces and the entire length of the runners, bar the opening into the plenham which is unreachable and insignificant unless pushing big bhp. Its a total reshaping, resizing exercise.

    they are made from iron, so they will rust in milli-seconds....its not even something to worry about. If you want brakes that wont rust, then you wont stop either.

    Which billies blow the ledas out the water?

    182 suspension (cup), what's the best upgrade?

    shim stacks will either be good for, A road, B road, or track......not all 3. That is the ONLY problem with monotubes, they need constant re-valving for different circumstances.

    cat cams/pulleys ??

    yup! final drawings have been submitted.

    cat cams/pulleys ??

    the pulleys are strong, but i've had problems with the fouling on the cover and it requiring modification.

    182 suspension (cup), what's the best upgrade?

    They run set rate dampers, non adj as to take away some of the adj of the cars. They are good, but i wouldnt call them the best either.

    182 suspension (cup), what's the best upgrade?

    leda make the best for the clio. I've been in all the other branded suspension kits, not a patch.

    172 & 182 engine block size and weight?

    yea, the car only needs one chassis rail.

    Danlp6's Car Photo....Not Mk1, Mk2

    lol, how long ago did this mistake become permanent though lol. VVT works via a phasing device on the inlet cam. The camshaft is hollow and oil pressure is fed to the phaser through the nose of the cam. Oil pressure is prevented from entering camshaft via a plunger (valve) in the oil galley...
