Thats a bit of a con... The 172s were all metallic and no extra cost there, so although the 182 although it is "allegedly" the same list price as the 172 it replace, in actual fact its gonna cost you £300 more!

A K-Tec sports cat and any decent aftermarket zorst, but if you want twin tailpipes like a 182 youll need to cut the boot floor off and get a custom (Powerflow) system made up...

Front -33 Rear - 30

Oooooh... pretty! ;)

Super Unleaded is generally 97, but Total does 98 Ultimate is 97 Optimax is 98+

Use either Optimax, BP Ultimate or Super Unleaded wherever possible... As for mods, try K-Tec, BB Tuning and Hill Power.

Kev - Demon Tweeks will probably do something to suit...

Nah, its Mondial Blue... ;) Would be going for Arctic Blue if I get a 182 as its virtually the same as the Mondial Blue on my Cup!

And it will for a long time yet... My Cup is still tight at the top end at just coming up to 7k miles and it takes a good 10-12k until they start to fully loosen up!

Ok, so whos got a 182 on the friends & family scheme?! If so, whats the current % discount and how much did you pay???

But that has nothing to do with the build quality issues...

Well a couple of people on there got a bit "heated" in there discussion... Luckily it kinda sorted itself out though!

No its not... Remember all the GTi-6 vs Rallye arguments on the 306 forum! :oops: Same attitude towards the Rallye as there is with the Cup.

The 172 will mailto:cr@p">cr@p all over the Corsa from a great height in both performance & handling...

Generally 15% loss for a fwd car... So, yours is gonna be >>> [79bhp / (100% - 15%)] x 100% = 93bhp @ fly

Aye, if it were 30% then my Cup would be making 210bhp @ fly with just a Viper... unlikely... :oops:

The BMC CDA is the one to go for in terms of price, performance & quality...

Seeing as how most of the car is still the same and its built in the same factory, by the same people, highly unlikely... Hopefully some things will have been sorted out though, so fingers crossed not as bad!

Its pretty useless on the mk2 & Cup, its tucked away in the bottom right hand corner of the clocks, nowhere near the rev counter! Better on the mk1 as its near the rev counter and more visible...

Yeah, Japs lie about the spec of their cars! ;)

For the mk2 172 & Cup, which use the same tyre size... Front - 33psi Rear - 30psi Be about right for you!

Best thing I can advise is to ring Hill Power and speak to Nick about what you want, he will explain it all and give you what you need... http://www.hillpower.co.ukwww.hillpower.co.uk

Yeah, Hill Power now do a modded inlet manifold too. As for getting it "mapped" theres nothing to adjust, when people talk about this they mean the standard ECU is chipped, but if you have the R-Sport ECU its already setup to cope with zorst, filter, etc...

Those performance mods are spot on and very similar to the route Im going... Ive got a Viper & a Scorpion system so far, but want a sports cat & ECU too! Another thing you might wanna consider is modding the inlet manifold.

So, back to normal then?!

The Hill Power ECU is the exact same one as thr R-Sport ECU. You can fit this to a standard engine and see small improvements, but they work very well with a filter, exhaust & de-cat and this setup is seeing 1/4 mile times of 14.0/14.1secs @ 98mph so very quick cars! If you wanna go for...

For 10bhp, easiest way is a de-cat (or sports cat), a decent exhaust system and an enclosed filter such as a Viper or BMC. Warranty wise I asked at my local dealer and basic "bolt on" mods like an exhaust or a filter do not affect warranty, however a de-cat will so the K-Tec sports cat is the...

I am fully aware of how they work, but the flywheel figures they give are usually a little on the generous side and show much larger transmission losses than there actually are...

Get some pics up please... :D

Never knew youd had a 106 GTi as well Dave, so did I, and so did the guy that took you out for a spin in his Cup at Elvington... Great cars! :D
