anybody tried removing fogs off a mk2 172/cup? would appreciate procedure to avoid buggering up the bumper/fogs etc. Many thanks

Nice feeling isnt it - he he :D

no this is an oldish subject. theres talk of launching a 180hp version of the 172 by the end of this year in France and the french sites have got plenty of pics of twin centre exhaust cars etc. I dont know if this is true or hype, some of the Renault guys on this site can tell. In any case I...

excellent stuff - ill wait for the info

on the subject of front bumper removal on a mk2 172, whos attempted the tricky feat, and can we have a blow by blow account and best sequence etc.

dont do it. youd be paying £20k for an old model when an extra £3-4k will get you a new one (sorry oops, a demonstrator). Youll regret having gone for the mk1 model everytime you see a mk2. Wait 6 months, book yourself a demo car at your local dealer and get a mk2.

Thanks for the info, I was at rsport today, is this the inlet manifold 90 degree bend that basically fits between the head ports and the plenum chamber/TB? Rsport showed me the new part which allegedly produces about an extra 5bhp. Euro 250 !!

hehe James at it again...

1 track use 2 occasional need for back seats (hence not a caterham) 3 power to weight to cost 4 moderate cost to upgrade/run/insure 5 affordability if I write it off on track oh, and its not japanese ..

yes best idea by far. It will cost you £35 or so and youre spoilt for choice: ITG, Green, BMC. The extra £150-180 is not really justified for a BMC or viper unless you want the noise. Funnily, noisy induction is very useful sometimes as a "get out of my way" signalling device on track. No such...

yes, and some piccies too. go to http://www.rs-team.orgwww.rs-team.org under the section (entretien) "filtre dhabitacle" all in frog obviously plenty of pics et voila, job done monsieur le mate

the official price for the ap kit is 1280 + vat Thats the CP3307-1031B kit. 4 pot caliper and 295/25 grooved disc

fingers crossed and toes curled!

ok, AP have a kit thall fit 7x15" compomotives, so will be ok for the Turinis. Thanks for your help

From memory the Turini is 7 or 7.5" ?

k-tec mentioned they were having some difficulty fitting their Brembo 305/28 and apparently needed a 17" wheel?? I dont understand because in theory 16" wheels will give you clearance up to 315mm no probs. Personally Im thinking AP racing, who have a 4pot + disc conversion and 295mmx25mm grooved...

Thought this topic came up already but I drew a blank on my search. Anyway, anybody measure up clearance on the cup wheels for max disc size + calipers? theoretically the standard 280mm discs (28mm wide pls confirm) could be uprated to 300mm or so. I also tried finding some 4 pot calipers that...

S-Dee, if you are really keen, somebody is selling a complete 172 engine, gearbox, mechanicals, xenons, two spare body shells including one with a custom FIA-approved rollcage ... If you are interested PM me and I can put you in touch. If its purely cosmetic stuff youre after I cant help

take the parcel shelf off, and while youre at it the back seat assembly too .. youll hear a lot more noises then, so nothing to do with the parcel shelf!

Craig can you keep us updated on the Tarox brakes pls. If I update mine, there will be a set of cup disc/calipers/pagid pads on the market too!

swelch are we talking a metric gnat or an imperial one..

Normal noises are whistling above 6k if you have your standard airbox. havent come across a rattling noise.

circuits will impose noise limits between 93 and 103 dBA, typically measured 50 cm from the car at 2/3 max revs. Without a mid silencer you will find it difficult meeting those thresholds. I have opted for a silencer on the k-tec exhaust and with the induction kit, I get about 94 dBA. If you...

thanks Nick, Ill try them

looking for a length of 70mm internal diameter ducting, as flexible as poss. Any leftovers from a viper project? any hints on where I could get some fast? Thanks, P

anybody knows where I can get 70mm hose like the vipers IK, anybody has some leftovers - about 60 cm?? Many thanks, P

see other related post above. Hows this kit different from the standard airbox? what are you paying £104 for?? The viper/BMC allegedly provide heat insulation by using carbon fibre, and they contain a less restrictive element. The kit above is a plastic box and does not have the same...

exactly hows that different from the standard airbox?

to comment on dashs point about filter improvements, original etc. My first mapping + RR of the car was done AFTER exhaust/BMC/Unichip, so unfortunately I cant comment objectively on any improvements made by fitting the BMC. I can however give you my impressions: I strongly suspect that the...
