So what would you expect ?? 5 to 6 seconds off for a 0 to 60 time of 1.6 seconds ?? Its not about 0 - 60. Its about torque, mid range and basically making it a smoother more responsive car to drive over standard

Jeebus.. that 0 - 60 times a bit quick is it not !!

bump

As whats been said it aint a easy job. Its all gonna have to be custom knocked together. Is it worth it ?? ..good question :)

Welcome to the 195 bhp club matey ;) Next mod for me i think is gonna be a 182 mani

Wasnt this one was it ?? Took a photo of this one at Knockhill end of last year.

This seems to be a problem with aging mk1 172's. I replaced mine due to that yesterday and another user replaced hers the other week.

Does anyone know where the correct position is for the throttle cable to sit in the engine bay on a mk1 172 ?? Anyone got any pictures of their engine bays to give us a clue ? :) I put a new one on yesterday but its kinked back to the point of the inner core being visible which cant be...

your evil nikki hahaha..nah its fine Here's a couple more: Complete bugger to keep clean and not to everyone's taste white on silver but the biggest improvment was the handling going down to a et38. Made a massive difference over standard :)

One of the worst RS's ever made. I could beat one in a pedal car wearing high heals there that slow

All i can see is a black hole haha Of what i can make out id say keep them :)

Go for Eibach if your after the ''off road'' or the 80's style jacked up look ;) Apex are great. Had them on a year and ive turned the Koni's up to a harder setting cos i thought they were a wee bit too soft.

You'd be pretty hard to tell if a Janspeed de-cat was a de-cat or the real thing because it has the silenced box part on it. As for the insurance. All you would have to do is claim it was part of the over all stainless zorst system. And they dont seem go over the car with as fine tooth...

Late mk1 172's also use 2 lambda's and a double cat like the mk2's.

Where you from ?? Im from near Lockerbie, stay in Dumfries. you could a made it 3 RS-1's ;)

Dosent matter the circumstances, it was still proven !! ;) Seriously tho, if its going to get a gain by sitting on a RR then there's a lot more cold air coming up through a engine when its actually in motion. Do you not agree with having the cold air feed disconnected ??

Think your making a mountain out of a molehill mate. Yeah you get wee stones going up but only dust sized particles and in any case its been proven that you get the best bhp gains by having the cold air feed pointing at the IK not actually connected to it. I ran about with it connected...

Sure arnt. Got them on mine and they weigh a ton !! Packaging said 10kg per wheel which aint light for a 15 inch rim. Proper racing pedigree and the handling difference with the et38 offset made a big difference on my mk1 172 :)

Rather than coverning the second lambda or buying a sleeve wouldn't it be better just to unplug it from its block connector so you can keep the lambdar and cable safe at home ??

Your joking right ?? Tell me your joking ??

That looks spot on....proper street racer look, exactly how car modding should be !!

pmsl...youve been warned hahaha Well worth it m8. It isnt that far once you get the foot down. :) We went via the A1 too so ive done my training for ya haha

No that was even worse. One was falling asleep and the other was moaning haha

Stop being a pussy. i had my car down at GDI for 4 weeks and it took 5 hours to get there !! Hire car was just over 300 notes for the four weeks.

Evo mag has always highly rated ClioSport 172/182/Cup models. Its amazing how high a standard mk1 172 sits :)

What was the story with the turbo'd 172 engined Renault 5 which was posted about on here a while back ?? Anyone got any info on how they managed that and the costs involved ?

Anyone know if Pro-speed do off the shelf back box's for 172's ?? Would save a long treck down south then :) Im sick of the weight of my Magnex back box plus i want a tailpipe thats a little more subtle.

Yeah its a Janspeed. For the minor bad points its still a very worth while addition. One sensor Jay ?? Ive got a double cat late spec mk1 172 and its got one sensor before the cat and one after. I originally had the sensors all plugged in, light came on so when it was in for a...

Tis a bit louder but nothing that you cant live with. Also prepair for the engine managment light to be on all the time and a reek of unburnt Optimax

Depends if you want it just for looks or want to enjoy driving it. for trouble free fun driving go 15's. For the show thing and cruising about, 17's To me 16's look too much like 15's plus the tyres are more expensive
