Eh? What light masks? Sunstrip can be peeled off so its hardly a deal breaker haha Not a fan of body kits and tat but i must say i do like that motor.

Not wanting to start another debat on the rights and wrongs of Induction kits again lol but are all Pipercross Vipers, whether it be for a Mondeo to a Mini etc, the same size?? (diameter internal, external, lengh, width, height, girth etc etc lol ) Is it just the fitting kits thats different?

Exactly. The goverment are the ones loading the fuel up with tax. If fuel goes us it has a knock on affect that the cost of day to day living goes up. I payed 1.05.9 a litre of Optimax last night.

Whens the price hike gonna stop ?? They seem to be taking the p**s now

^^not on mine its not. I got advice from a very respected person on here (no names ;) ) and they said there was no need to change the washer as its flat copper. I changed my oil and never had a prob

Right at this mo im running a full Magnex but have just got a stealth back box made up at Prospeed yesterday which should arrive with me today. Apparently it comes with a extra rear bracket. Powerflow told me the biggest back box bore they could get was a 2 and a 1/4, i needed a 2 and a 1/2...

On the 172's its a copper washer and shouldnt need replacing everytime you change the oil but obviously with this one leaking it could have a split in it due to over tightening or it might be something simple like the bolt not being tight. Worth a check before buying a washer.

TBH even with the best IK in the world or sticking the thing out the front wing isnt exactly gonna give breath taking power gains. You'll never get for example 10 bhp+ from one without mapping and even then a 10 bhp gain isnt exaclty gonna be the difference between a quick car and a rapid...

GMC are pretty good. Mainly a Citroen specialist but they seem to do all cars. My mate just spent ££££££££ on getting his CTR supercharged up to 300+ at the wheels, yes thats wheels not fly !! Not sure what piggy back units they use tho. There's also a guy who's just started out who gets...

Dastek are a con. From the way they tried to rip me off AVOID !!!

Are you wanting a piggy back unit or just something like a superchip ??

When the cars up and moving the engine is pretty cold so adding heat wrap or a heat shield to the air box / IK wont make much, if any, difference at all. Its only when a cars idling that engine tempretures increase. A decent cold air feed is the way to go

Maxogens are the top of the tree no one can argue that but at nearly 400 notes their only for the upper class modder hence why their rare on the 2nd hand market ;) Flat spots = remap time Think a lot of IK's are getting bad press at the mo due to folk not fitting them correctly and not...

Somethings far wrong if you keep having to change gearbox's.

Do 172 / 182 Clio's use the same power steering pump as the rest of the Clio range ?? cheers :)

Keep us posted on the results m8 :) Quite like the idea of this by placing the IK in the space below the battery. Not sure if the 90 degree bend on the extended inlet after the IK will cause any decrease in air flow tho. Opinions ?

No not the tyre pressures. I checked them and their fine. Apart from the obvious heavy steering, how can you test if your power steering pump is not working ?? there's no ''power steering'' noise on mine at full lock or anything

Did a bit of a search on here and found a link from another topic (3rd picture down) Dosent appear to have a side entrance for the cold air feed like what it looks on the other pic. Not sure i like where its mounted due to a lack of a direct cold air feed but thats just by looking at it in...

Another ram kit of which this one looks like having a side entrance cold air feed supply as well :)

This looks interesting but would it get enough cold air wedging it up against the slam panel ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Carbon-Fibre-Induction-Kit-Clio-172-182-Sport-13bhp_W0QQitemZ190005795086QQihZ009QQcategoryZ36680QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

To me a IK or air box is only as good as the amount of cold air you can throw into it. I like the idea of a Maxogen but the cost per performance dosent seem worth it.

^^ agree m8. The evidence so far all points to what people have experienced by ''feeling'' a difference rather than actual on paper proof. There's like 101 different things that could be the difference between making one IK good and the same filter crap. IE Poor air feed, car not set up /...

If a air box is no better than a IK why then in most cases does a car run slightly lean when a half decent IK is fitted?? Surley this is proof that the rate of air flow has been increased thus once mapped will give better gains over the standard set up ?? You dont need to map a standard air...

If you fit a IK and get a drop in power to me the reason would be you have a inbalance in your fueling due to it leaning off rather than the actual unit being crap??

I fitted mine before it was modded and it felt like it made a big difference in performance. Got the car quite heavily modded now so wondering if the Viper is zapping a few ponies and torque or is it just a case of some unfounded evidence coming out making me paranoid that i could be losing...

they'd be some serious arch lip rubbing with a 28 mm offset

Of late it seems there's a few topics floating about that suggest Vipers are now even worse than the standard 172 air box and will lose you power and its best to keep the standard air box on all be it slightly modded with panel filter etc !! Does anyone have any ''concrete'' proof or...

What the story is. Its my mates car and he got a pal to change the oil a week ago. After that there was a strange ticking noise coming from it so blamed the wrong grade of oil being put in , which apparently it was. I took out his old oil this eve and put it in a container. We poured the new...

anyone ?? :)

As above really. How much does it hold when doing a oil change?? 5 litre's ?? cheers :)
