Exactly, if it feels quick on the road don't chase figure as you'll never be happy. There is not much you can do to the 172 without spending ££££ which actually give real world difference. Ported inlets V6 airbox 98 Ron map Exhaust & decat is the usual modifications that get around the...

What so you think the ( ~ ) meant... However most only achieve over 180bhp with aftermarket cams unless it's an extremely healthy freak engine...

You were expecting ~190bhp at the engine with those modifications? Thats what some people get with specific map/cams package. I've even saw some ITB hit around that figure too.

I think it's an approx but less likely to be as accurate as a 'rolling road' although they are not 100% accurate either. If it feels quick on the road and everything is good, happy days!

Can't see either manifold aiding power gains. Have you any engine lights on? What fuel do you use when was it last serviced?

At best I can only calculate it to 161-162bhp. If that's correct, that's what I'd expect from an OEM engine.

I don't know where the 33kw has come from? Usually people calculate FWD cars at 17% transmission loss. So if the figure is calculated at the engine -17% to get your WHP. 33kW = 22hp converting it?!?

Works out at just under 160bhp / 144lbft I think? Thats having 17% transmission loss.

SMG is one of the better things... I like this, was never a huge fan of this colour but the detailing works well!

As most have said they do indeed increase vibrations. However with full interior it would be less noticable. At first it was pretty annoying, now I hardly notice it.

Fred must spend more time in A+E than he does in the workshop lol. Hope it's not too serious. Cant wait for pictures when it's back on the road!

Don't suppose anyone knows the part number for these? Clio 172 2002. Top inlet bolts which connect to the lower inlet. Also the actual rocker cover bolts?

Literally 2 minutes from that location.

Ste, T6 just off the island. I like how it's a little urban with nothing much in the background.

Only used as the track/hobbie car. Every time I drive it, it puts a huge smile on my face though!

Thanks guys, so much more planned however it's just working around other projects.

Last longer than OEM so why not.

Tried a quick clean however it was still there. Like JD I started to get a little angry. Poorboys polish started to get it off, so looks like in re polishing the entire car again. Will NOT be buying or recommending this product again.

Car hasn't been out for a while so thought I'd have 20 minutes with it earlier. So much fun to drive!

Had a quick 20 minutes in the car earlier so thought I'd take a picture or two... Would be rude not to take a 'rolling' shot.

Silver look fresh. Keep them silver!

Slightly larger ports I believe.

I don't think you'd feel any gains but if you're feeling flush I can't see there being a downside. I don't think the throttle body itself is all that restrictive I think £300 could be focused elsewhere which would make real world difference.

Been reading a lot about these into the early hours this morning. I think more track focused springs and I could be onto a winner with these. I'm sure they have front and rear adjustable 'rebound' which I think will be ideal.

Yes Russ, I'll certainly update when I know which route to go down. I'm going to see if MicKPM would mind if I have a passenger ride in his BC equipped car.

I'm not overly keen on the X, a few members may disagree however you can't beat a nice CLEAN V/VI.(Biased). Great pictures!

I had to use AG tar remover to remove it off the rear window this morning. Going to watch the match then try cleaning the paintwork...

Just been reading about the AST's It says the 1's are adjustable, is this on car adjustable or not? Is it a small knob like the GAZ ones? From my quick search the 2's are around £1500 which at the moment I couldn't commit too. You are clearly more fortunate than me buddy as I can only dream...

I did think at first maybe left on too long. But the car was still wet and no where near drying. Pressure washed so can't see it being that. Maybe the weather as it was direct sunlight but let's be honest we hardly get Ibiza weather but I do think maybe the car was a little hot for this to be...

Really clean example that looks. I do like a white S1.
