For power, torque, or both?!

No.. the V6 was! ;) However the mk2 172 we used got some very quick times and wasnt that far off the pace of the V6! :o The Cup was brand new though (on trade plates) and we only did 0-60 runs, but that mk1 172 was a duffer and got sh!t times...

I once got an AP-22 and took a mk1 172, a mk2 172, a Cup and a mk1 V6 for some performance testing... There wasnt a lot between them all, especially on the road from point-to-point, so a lot depends on the driver!

Thats probably because theres less back pressure and the car is making more power & torque low down now, so no sudden step change as the car comes on cam at higher revs... Be interesting to see/hear what other Supersprint users have experienced!

I was thinking this exact thing the other night... Will an R-Sport ECU work on a 182?!

The "certain magazine" that got 0-60 in 6.5secs also timed the 0-100 as 17.7secs and the 1/4 mile at 15.2secs @ 94mph... However, my totally standard Cup with a mere 1250 miles on the clock ran 15.0secs dead at Santa Pod on the hottest weekend of the year and even with camping stuff in the...

This is probably not an AP-22 then, it will be one of those performance meters... I borrowed one before and we tested 3 cars with it, but it was a tad "generous" to say the least! ;) When we took the same 3 cars to York dragway & compared the 1/4 mile times we got there, they were all...

Yeah, it was pretty quick for a 1.4 and it was a great car! Going back a few years now though, back when I was at Uni...

Mine is near the top in the Cup and has been from new... Theyre self adjusting I believe, as most are!

Just about tell my insurers about the exhaust & induction kit Im about to fit...

Not a fan myself...

Aye, 14.5secs is my best in the Cup, but going back a few years... Nova 1.4 SRi - 17.39secs @ 78mph ;) Feeeeeeel the power of 1.4!!!

Try the following for modded cars... Greenlight Privilege Adrian Flux Performance Direct HIC Hyperformance CIS etc... Plenty of places do mods and wont charge the earth!

LOL

Well see what its like when Ive fitted it to the car... Got it already (sat in the garden shed at the mo) and it does look big, but I will reserve judgement until its fitted. If its too big then Ill get the tailpipe swapped! Yeah, if Janspeed are telling you to go to K-Tec, then where are...

Cobra Monaco: http://www.cobraseats.com/imx/mon_rere1.jpg Looks a nice seat, decent spec, but sit in one to check for fitment & comfort. Sparco Sprint: http://www.motaworld.co.uk/acatalog/sparcosprint.gifhttp://www.motaworld.co.uk/acatalog/sparcosprint.gif Looks similar, but...

Trust me... dont! Ive got one out of my R5 track car and its f*cking uncomfy after youve sat in it a while! Wouldnt recommend one for a road car.

Bought it 2nd hand matey... Its a single round tailpipe which I wanted, but its 4" so may be too big for my liking and I might end up getting it swapped to a smaller one. Kinda looks ok in the pics on the Scorpion site though >>&gt...

Thought youd got it from there... As for the Janspeed sports cat, its actually listed on http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/www.motorsportworld.co.uk too, and theres even a price for it now...

Tell me about it... :sick:

Had problems getting quoted for a Cup in the past...

No, they are 205/45 VR16s on either a 182 or 182 with Cup options...

Yeah, the CTR should have one too IMO... My mate has an ATR (which has an LSD) and he got an 04 CTR as a courtesy car a couple off weeks ago. He was disgusted at the lack of an LSD!

How much (de-cat) & where from?! Theres also 2 sports cats as far as I can see, the K-Tec one and a Janspeed one. Well, my Scorpion system should have arrived today so its zorst time for me too!

JDM ones do!

I know... ;)

Err... since when did the 182 have an LSD?!

I know a lad that has one and he says it deffo feels quicker, but not been on the rollers to confirm... Am also considering one myself!

Just to set things straight... Cup: 172bhp / 1021kg = 168.46 bhp/tonne 0-60 = 6.5secs (Evo & Autocar) 0-100 = 17.7secs (Evo), but 16.9secs (Autocar) 172bhp DIN @ 6250rpm 147lb/ft @ 5400rpm 30-50 - 4.3 secs (Evo) 50-70 - 4.1 secs (Evo) 182: 182bhp / 1090kg = 166.97...

Its practically the same...
