My mates doing that with his mk1 and gonna keep running it, but take the monthly allowance as cash instead...

Same here?!

and nicer...

Theres a noticable difference! I had my mates 172 for 2 weeks before I got my Cup, as Id sold my Rallye and he was going on holiday, so it worked out I could use the 172. Anyway, I jumped out of that and into the Cup and its a harder ride for sure.

Scary actually... I drove mine to Santa Pod, was not hanging about, over 200 miles each way and I got 41mpg! :o

Dont talk crazy Pete! ;)

Nope their not .. sorry.. the 172 drivers seat has lumbar adjustment. Which (if you read my 2nd post) I already mentioned... Aside from the lumbar adjustment (had in the past and never used), do we agree that they are the same under the skin?!

My mate has a mk1 172 as a company car and has put on 54k miles in just over 2 years. He loves it as it does about 40mpg on the motorway, comes fully specced up, its quick & handles well, plus it has been reliable (honestly), so there is no problem running one as a company car. The Cup...

Err... Theyre the same seats but with different trim!

The Viper is one of the best induction kits you can get and Im very happy with mine" I know they cost a lot, but you get what you pay for and these carbon filters like the Viper, BMC, etc, all cost the same. There is no issue with engine mappping there have been fuelling tests on 172s with...

The tyres to get are the Proxes T1-S ones, which are £64.70 each in 205/40ZR17 from mytyres...

LOL You cant get better than a Kwik Fit fitter... ;)

Theyll just be going off the info Superchips provide, so like you checked the website to see if it was possible, the guys at PowerZone will probably have looked at a similar list... Both to blame though as PowerZone should really have checked for sure!

Well, seeing as how it turns out your a local you can look/listen to mine before you buy one and see what you think.

So its Superchips fault... not PowerZones...

Did you expect to see much of a gain?!

Had these on my last car and Id have them again...

From http://www.mytyres.netwww.mytyres.net theyre £81.10 each Double the price of Toyos and not that much better...

I thought Janspeed went bust??? Anyway, Ive had a Janspeed in the past and took it off as it was loud!

Or, 15W50 as I run in my R5 GT Turbo, but that aint cheap!

Just stick to 10W40

They are superb... Just wait until it rains (not long) then see how much better they are in the wet than the Contis :)

My mate (rally mechanic) reckons Im better mounting it higher up behind the grill, as oppossed to mounting it low down (like Id also thought) so as not to suck up cr@p & water from being so low down...

Could be the fly-by-wire throttle actually... Does it feel like youve just jumped off the gas pedal though? For the revs to drop though Id say it was most likely an igintion based fault.

See the racing section...

Ok, next question... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Where have you located/mounted the cold air feed and where does it run?! Got several ideas, just trying to work out wheres best.

Got my mate on the case... When I get one of those hose clips with the captive nut attachment, Im just gonna make a bracket to bolt it to the engine, as theres some handy holes already there. :)

Yes, theyre proven to be very good. They run off batteries. For more info, go here >>> http://www.race-technology.com/http://www.race-technology.com/

Yeah... But then where do I get the bit that its bolted to from?! Just a normal hose clip on mine.

Did it come with any kind of bracket for securing the filter and holding it in place when you bought it??? I bought one 2nd hand and there is nothing to hold it in place, so it just moves about in the engine bay, but I want it to be fastened in place. On the K-Tec site it shows some kind of...
