I doubt any company would make performance cams for the 1.2 8v. I cant imagine that there would be much demand. Maybe you could get your existing cams re-profiled, but for the cost, you are probably better off saving for a quicker car (assuming that youre hoping performance cams will make your...

lol @ loonys rant. I totally agree though.

Well, I did say I wasnt sure about those dates....I stand corrected :p

I got beaten over a 1/4 mile by VTec Abusers Civic Type R. Think he ran 14.65 standard. 14.8s and 9s most of the day. Over that distance its about the same as a standard Cup. I drove the Civic and really liked it. Totally different car to the Cup, but still great.

More on the roads....probably because all the 172s have dropped to bits ;) And anyway, there are zillions of Clios on the road. Its not like Im driving a really exclusive car as it is!

Thats just the order they were released in. There were three versions of the original "boxy" shape Clio. Its now clear that there are three versions of the "curvy" version. Then well be moving on to the MK3, phase 1 "canal barge" shape.... ;)

lmao. Its true though! Only thing that might be wrong about that is the dates for the MK1, Phase 1/2/3. Not 100% sure where the changes were.

MK1 Phase 1 (91>95) MK1 Phase 2 (95>97) MK1 Phase 3 (97/98?) - Rounded lights MK2 Phase 1 (98>01) - MK1 172 style MK2 Phase 2 (01>03) - MK2 172 style MK2 Phase 3 (04>05) - Last of MK2 shapes (new grill, colour coded spoilers etc.) And thats your 7 years for the MK2...

Around 25 indicated on ours too. Have had 40mpg with careful motorway driving (eg: me in the passenger seat).

Williams or a Valver....same bonnet!

Arjun, did you get the manifold work done in isolation so you could see the difference? Im very, very happy with what Nick has done to my inlet manifold. Amazing that such seemingly small thing can make such a change to the feel of the engine. Ive got the startings of a similar set up to you...

Ill try and get under the car and rattle some of the heat shields as Arjun suggests. This is starting to get really annoying.

It does sound nicer from outside than from inside! Seems to give more power, and the car is good to drive with it on, but the main reason I got it was to get rid of the 4k rattle, but thats still there!!! Ill try and get some pics taken this week.

i think ive got a mongoose on. I bought it from JAY172. Ive got a pic of a mongoose system and mine is identical, so I guess its a mongoose. Basically its a bit boomy at 3k revs with the throttle open. Below this its quite quiet and over 4k, its got a nice, tight note to it. It falls just...

I was starting to get the 4k rattle so Ive now replaced the whole standard exhaust system with a stainless Devil de-cat pipe and a stainless steel system. This fixed it for a few hundred miles, but....... :cry: its back again. So.....is there really no known fix for it?

And on a similar note, Nick Hill also shows you exactly what hes done and worked on our car while we were watching. I dont think its unreasonable for customers to be able to see what they are going to have done. LADs approach is more "well, well sprinkle it with magic fairy dust and we get 30bhp...

Nothing wrong with spax at all. Made in the UK and perfectly good springs. Used them on two 172s and have covered nearly 20k miles on them. Ignore the badge snobs.

I have the "should have got a Civic Type R" feeling every day now. Think Ill just have to get one.

My Williams had a badly adjusted door lock from when it blew out of my hands in heavy winds and slammed shut again. Local garage did something to it for free and it worked again. When it was broken the door always looked slightly ajar.

Jonnyboy, I think Nick Hill has had a good look at exactly what LAD have done to the engine of a MK1 172. The owner was so disaapointed with the work he had Nick fit some cams and a chip. Contact Nick and he might go into more info about what LAD actually did...

Early mk1s only had one lambda, later ones (without the gear change light) had 2 sensors.

Its nothing like a power boost valve! Power Boost valve is just a fuel pressure regulator that you can adjust to give more fuelling if youve got a lot of mods. Do a SEARCH for "Ecotek". Youll read about what its suppose to do and about how it makes a "schluuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrppppppp" noise.

Have you still got the connectors? You could look at the colour of the wire going into the side next to the clip. The wire colour varies back and front, and between models, so your best bet is trying to work it out from the connectors.....if you still have them!!!!

Have you cut them yet? The wire next to the clip on the connector is the +ve. I had the same problem when putting my JBL 526s in.

Ive had a Williams and 2 172s. When I had the Williams, I missed my 1st 172, now Ive got a 172 again, I miss the Williams.

http://www.primaracing.com/http://www.primaracing.com/ The "Devil" decat from Prima should fit a MK2 172 (youll just need to disconnect the 2nd lambda sensor).

Probably 36k if the first was at 18k.

Takes a few mins to warm up, but a good burst of acceleration gets it to temp and its lovely, toasty and warm. Makes me......fall......zzzzzzzzzzz

Look at the vid of the thing working on the 2nd one. http://www.invoauto.co.uk/movies/turbo_jet.MPGhttp://www.invoauto.co.uk/movies/turbo_jet.MPG It turns faster the faster the engine goes. Kind of suggests that the suction from the engine is turning the turbines, which means its a...
