Air filter wise, go go for a Viper or a BMC rather than an open induction kit, or a panel filter will also work ok.
Zorst wise, theyre all pretty much of a much and its down to tailpipe preference and noise levels really.
The brakes feel sh!te now after driving the 1.2 as those brakes are massively over-servod IMO.
Getting used to them again now.
Nice to have some poke again though! ;)
Cant wait to compare to yours with the ECU now...
Ive said it before and Ill say it again...
If they did a hybrid of the 2 models that was basically a Cup but with all the 172s toys, then Id probably buy one!
Less focused as in 2.55secs per lap sloooower than a Cup round Bedford using the same racing driver!!!

"First time out in the Cup and within half a lap its obvious that the 172 will struggle to keep sight of the new car when we strap the test gear on, while the V6 will need an...
Yeah, I was just being cautious, but I enquired about maybe changing some things later on and they said that stuff like an induction kit & alloys were fine...
So basic stuff wont be a problem.
Well, I have forgiven it after my lovely drive (aka thrash) to work this morning!!! :devilish:
Need to re-fit my Viper now though...
Oh, and order an R-Sport ECU! ;)
Cup in garage already shock!
Thats not a shock mate... ;)
Once you get all the teething troubles sorted it will be worth it. Mine is 6 weeks old now and Im just getting it sorted.
Ask Chris (aka chris n nic) about this, as he has his Cup Superchipped and ended up getting it removed again as he only gained +3bhp & +lb/ft of torque.
He now has an R-Sport ECU and says its miles better. Hell be getting it on the rollers this Saturday too...
At least theres nothing serious gone wrong with it!
The gearbox was fine and I think swapping the box was complete overkill, and as for the vibration its only the exhaust, so summt & nowt.
Once the initial teething troubles are sorted and I settle into it then I know Ill forgive it when it...
Well, I just rung them now and I am assured that its sorted now and all as it should be, so Ill be picking it up afterwork and hoping that it is fixed!
Pray for me people... :sleep:
Ive got an uprated GTT intercooler mate, but it aint shiny alloy...
For performance gains its great, but if you want pretty stuff under the bonnet then this aint for you as its black!
Yours for a LOT less than a new shiny one though. PM me if interested.
Well, I took it back first thing this morning, explained the fault, went out with the mechanic then he could listen and yes theres a vibration under load that he is gonna look at.
They wanted to book it in again for next week, but I was not happy and pointed out that theyd had it for over a...
Got it, but its going back!!! :cry:
Theres deffo a new box on there (I checked it) and theyve fixed the leaky PAS, plus they washed it so I was happy and theyll swap the seat cover after my hols.
Went for a drive, the gearbox is fine, no whining, changes are all good, feels tight (but...
