Scott/Matt W, you haven't answered my original query...if Mandy and I turn up in 1 car and each pay fiver, can we have 2 graphics (1 for each car)?
PS. I've put the thread up in W.Mids section and have opened it up to those members too. :)...
http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?641429-Wales-Charity-Black-Mountain-Run-In-memory-of-Lee-Davies-3rd-June
In memory of Lee, the lads (Scott and Matt W) are rerunning the Black Mountain run and are taking donations to go to Help The Heroes.
I know its a bit of a trek from the West...
My 172Cup was called L'il Blue Bullet and the 182 is called 'Titanium Phoenix' as I had to pass the place where I wrote the Cup off to pick this one up...and it was like a Phoenix from the flames...so that and the colour gave her her name. :)
Cheers Dave...its gonna be the 2nd MONDAY of each month due to Terry bloody Wogan doing that quiz!!
Next main meet will be the Rolling Road day and then we meet 2 days later in the pub...bad timing, but at least we can get these done.
Also try chrispowell (carbon central on here) I havent seen anyone slate his work and is good for what he does. Have a look in his threads in trader's section as I'm sure that there will be prices and pictures of work he has done as well as feedback from his customers. :)
Mandy and I are v.tempted by this as Mandy has sent welfare boxes to both Brent and Lee (through the charity she is part of). If we both attend in one car and pay a fiver each...can we have 2 stickers as Mandy wants one for her car too?
I will put this on West Midlands group and the CS WM...
Tom...are you looking to strip the car completely? Remember that you have to live with the car day in and day out. The rear ends on the cup can get twitchy with less weight over rear axles.
I would just go with something stainless which is stealth and sounds good. The weight is lighter as only...
Renault solid plastic splitter around £150 Skoda splitter...flexible plastic £12.00
Renault ones snap when they catch something...Skoda one is far more plyable so doesnt snap...
Have a search for pictures and the code from VAG dealer. There are a fair few threads and pictures of them. :)
Agreed....loved the cup looking stealth at rear until flooring it...182 is a bit louder...but with right tailpipes looks awesome. If it were me, I'd stay stealth as we saw a 172cup in Chester which looked wierd with its rear exhausts...ita personal taste, but prefer design of exhausts to look as...
All depends on whether you want off the shelf or custom. Custom varies dependant on outlet...dependant on how desperate you are, you could wait for one to become available second hand. Problem is, its personal taste and what is good for one, isnt always good for someone else.
The biggest issue is the spare wheel well (182s dont have them). Some places have done them, but you would need to put pipework around spare wheel well.
Too late for me to say anything!!!
MarkCup http://www.youtube.com/user/MarkCup70?ob=0 had the Cup, but now has a 200 and rates it.
Just change front seats mate...they're poo compared to others. What year? 52, 03, 53? if orange side indicators on wings, change for clear...improves it no end...
Re: ITG panel filter, benefits? Also difference between 172 + 182 air filter housings
^^^As above :)
The main one is difference in length between changes!
On my 172Cup it seemed to pull a bit better, but that could well be placebo.
The 172/182 Airboxes are the same...its the phase 1 172...
Sorry, wasn't making a comment about any specific place...just an observation as mine was done by a custom exhaust place and they used one backbox too. I would also say that it would be lighter and easier to mount and line up than 2 backboxes
Although (not opening a can of worms), but the latest from KTec is what JP make (the old YozzaSport ones)...so maybe their failings after a few years might not happen now.
