Main problem is the bonnet on the 172 wouldnt close due to the hight of it. What id like to know is minus the bonnet prob, in theory, which would give better gains. A 197 inlet or a machined 172 one?

You should get between 20 and 30 notes for them on ebay

I still get the same MPG now its modded as when it was standard! My average is 38 miles to the gallon with ragging it down to 32/34 and taking it steady 40 to 45+

A combination of low fuel (lack of weight), dodgy tyre choice or low tyre tred and lifting off mid corner on a damp greasy road dosent help a Clio Sport stay out of the green and on the black.

Great pictures. Looks good with the cars being all different colours

You'll find a big improvment on the handling front with the Cup style offset. Only down side is they weigh a ton! Getting popular now these rims :(

Kill all induction kit topics

Change the D to a G on the reg plate and it would be sorted

How longs piece of string? Usual warranty life on a standard battery is 3 years so anytime after that

Waist of time messing about when its only 50 sheets plus 4.5 years use isnt bad

Thats rubbish. If your pulling in more air with mods like IK's, cams, inlets etc etc you need to counter balance it by getting the right mix of fuel going in hence a remap. As for does it use more fuel. i got 43.7 mpg last night driving at 70 ish and thats with 200bhp

Between a standard Teg and a standard 172 / 182 there's only half a car length or so in it when ever i came up against one. Teg will feel quicker because of the Vtec. When its off Vtec its as weak as a puffs handshake. My mate got his rolling roaded once and when it came on Vtec the bhp...

Strange how you had a Integra but couldnt keep up with a tuned up Fiesta ST which would still be well short of the Tegs power..

Just ignore me lol

Standard shocks though?? Ive been running Apex with Koni shocks for 50 thousand miles and never had a problem

If youve got something to map, ie IK's, zorst, decat etc etc then yes definitely worth it

What sort of times are these turbo 172's / 182's doing up the quarter mile??

Yeah was hoping it might be all to do with the circuit board on the back of the instrument panel :)

It works on roughly, kinda, somewhere abouts, the same principle ;) But yeah that thing lol as per topic. If i exchanged my instrument panel with one that has the rev warning light or what ever we want to call it, will it work ??

No dont think so

You know what i mean. The gear select light

Mapped?? Mine felt like it gained higher up the rev range. Engine note changed on mine too but this might have been to do with hacking the exhaust / decat to make it fit Worth doing imo but i wouldnt pay 700

Just out of interest Got a mk1 172 and it never came with the shift light. If i replaced the instrument panel from a 172 which has the shift light, will it work on mine or would i need all the wiring ect to make it work? cheers

Both seat airbags had gone off too! Engine was super clean looking and untouched and really the only thing worth buying it for but at £2800 odd it was for sale for, it would be a very expensive engine !

Spotted this 04 plate 182 in at my local breakers last week. Its now been sold i think. Had the ClioSport.net sticker in the back window Anyone from on here ??

No its not because it is a well known fact that the press car had been tweaked

Average times are what count not one off quickest ;)

Completly disagree Ive had a Viper and now have a Maxogen and there is no difference in performance to call and in terms of fit couldnt fault the Viper. Viper is a superb bit of kit. Noise with the CAF not connected and just pointing at is awsome Maybe if folk fitted / set them up...

Sticking IVC maybe?? (idle control valve)

Whats the weight advantage a Cup has over a standard 172 again?
