Completely agree... and this is the direction I'm going with my car. As I'm useless with electrics, I'd ideally need to pay an electrician to do this... any idea of the cost of the materials and the labor time?

Be interested to hear how these fair on the track... not sure whether that applies to you though! Currently run the 595 RSR's and love them, but thinking about R888's.

Hi All, My 172 Cup is primarily used for the track, although as it's still road legal, taxed, MOT'd and insured I occasionally use it for going to the gym etc. When on track it's fantastic, but when driving on a bumpy road it knocks quite a lot on the front suspension, now this is NOT just when...

Got a pic? I just upgraded to braided lines but went for the Goodridge ones, can tell you if they are the right ends.

Please do! I have the same wheels, and am trying to figure out which sizes to use! Thanks

Wow 500 quid?! I'm not sure how different the 1200 engines are from the F4R but the throttle body can be changed in about 10 minutes, when I changed mine I didn't need to wipe any codes or anything, it worked straight away, although the code moved from a current to a stored code instead. I...

The rev limiter is there for a reason. So long as the engine is well maintained you should be absolutely fine. Enjoy your car!!

Wow, impressive... would love to do the same! I've just heard plenty of horror stories about people trimming down looms etc.

Hi All I work in pre-sales for an open-source company, specialising in cloud computing. I find myself working with, developing for and recommending OpenStack for many different organisations cloud needs. Anyone used this? Familiar with it etc? Wondering whether there's anyone else on here using...

I might have missed this in this 92 page thread, but wondering whether you still have the key, immobiliser etc? If not, how have you got around this? Thanks... great thread btw

Would love a detailed write up of how this engine was put together, anything you guys could provide I'd very much appreciate. I want to go down this route also... don't want big big power but more than ITB's + cams!

Haha, yeah it is amusing... would be good to get them all together!

Sounds great mate, thanks for following my questions up. Will read with great interest. Good luck!

Definitely subscribing to this... can you explain a bit more about the 225 engine please? So it's a 172 bottom end but with megane crank/pistons, a megane head (which presumably bolts straight to the 172 bottom end?) and then the rest is megane, i.e. inlet manifold, exhaust manifold and turbo...

How much more power would you see with 421's?

Yeah, absolutely useless in the snow... In the rain they're not great, I wouldn't put any faith in them on the track in the wet but that's my experience

Make sure you cover the lower inlet manifold when you take the top bit off... the last thing you want is something falling in!

Yeah, a few hundred feet should be fine, but don't give it any stick or take it long distances... just be careful! Make sure they are torqued up!

How are you adjusting your camber? Camber bolts?

I've got a set of 172 Cup front suspension, PM me if you're interested

I use the DS2500 and wasn't overly impressed on the last track day, we pushed it really hard though... I'll probably try CL's next but I'm no expert!

So can I put the stud kit INTO the spacer itself and just have the spacer bolted to the hub? Also, is it possible to have the stud kit into the hub and run say, 15mm spacers that sit on the studs? Potentially stupid questions above ;-)

Yeah could be an absolute freak of an engine ;-)

Don't worry, my car is standard apart from the exhaust, I just want to make sure it's making standard numbers!

opinions? burn it?

Hi All, I'm trying to figure out which size spacers I should opt for, taking into consideration that the car will spend most of its life on the track. The car is a 172 Cup, lowered on Gaz coilovers but was set-up for the track so certainly isn't scraping the ground! The front camber is...
