Yeah good idea RobFenn, e36 M3 :D How much and what year?

Yep same here, my dealer says Reanult know of this problem and recomend putting some rubber disks on the top of the suspension mounts? Mine still bangs though, so back its going!

MENTAL Bazza, that TVR will EAT ANYTHING!!:devilish: But they are a REAL handfull, a few mates have test driven them, once they felt full throttle they all decided its TO FAST FOR THE ROAD lol

Well there looks like no escape from the world of the 172 lol :confused: RB5 Scoobs are good, but expensive.......etc......etc What about Accord Type R?

You obviously have never heard a 360 Modena now they do scream :devilish:

Good choice Bazza, but they can be very fragile? Still fancy the Racing Puma

Ill let ya know what I think, sure there will be no perfomance gain, but the quality should be top class and save on replacement Renault items. It should out perform a older standard filter, there supposed to have a very good flow pattern even when loaded with dirt? Ill let ya all know.

no prob Reth its WB351 £43.48 including VAT & Delivery The 57i will sound good, but dent ya performance, loads of hot air now being sucked in! I would of thought the only way to increase air flow was to make the filter medium less restrictive, hence less filtration?

image of BMW drivers lol not good. Thats the trouble with the 172, I want my next car to feel faster, guess im headed into Scooby zone? What bout Racing Puma, slower but great handling, could be tuned as well?

If I was you Reth, go for the ITG. The green filter in a groupN item, so maximum flow=less filtration! Not good Did ya ITG change the induction note?

MMMM true dogmaul, but they have big power writen all over them Well what about a 328i ? what insurance group are they in?

Alfa GTV, good choice :D Scooby is SOOOO expensive to run. What do ya think of a 300ZX

CUPSIZE has it changed the sound of your induction note? On Friday im getting an ITG panel filter.

well, its a valid question I think, say I dont want a cup or second hand CTR There must be something a bit different, as for £13,000 I cant see myself getting a car for more for a while yet. Must be something a bit different? £13,000 will get a fair bit second hand!

Well if you want to stomp on most things in a Golf you need the new R32, it handles to! EVO rated it above the re-shaped Scooby! A Big 3.2 ltr beast 237bhp & 236 lbft and 6.5 to 60!:devilish:

I was chatting to me mate the other day, and he asked me a good question What ya going to replace ya 172 with? Its got to be cheap (£13,000 tops mines an import) fast, fun, ok on fuel, not to bad to insure? So what will match the 172? not much I can think of?

I compleatly agree, but since there rivals are going crazy with power they may have no choice. A club sport V8 would be ok, but i dont think that will ever happen. And remember the next M5 has a V10! so a little straight six looks a bit out of place then huh? I really hope they develope a new...

Straight six DanG, very nice motor. But BMW said they cant get anymore out of that engine, so its going to be a V8 next :devilish:

Fair point RobFenn, it does suit people to have a gradual upgrade. and prob cheaper, not sure though? I fully support anyone who wants to make there motor a little different, make it sound nice etc everyone whos slightly enthusiastic about cars will go in this direction.

Yep a sealed air box really, only trouble would be rain getting into the filter i guess?

If I had the money to replace that in carbon...................well I would prob be looking at a new E55 AMG Yeah your right DanG, its a hot little sucker. But on a 172 I would like to see if any gains could be brought about with a bonnet intake? Does anyone know what Peugot do to their 206...

lol yeah get ya point, they say the same about the Jag XJR, compaired to something like the new Golf R32 engine note, supercharges dont stand a chance. Well each to there own i guess, now if its engine noise it HAS to be a V8:D

:D Carbon bonnet, hey wings and boot to!

:confused: You hate superchargers? I know an NA engine will allways be more responsive, but they can do wonders for torque and power. Yeah the 1.6 engine in the Mini seems to be quite ordanary, most of the car mags dont rate the engine.

Yeah I can relate to that :cool: it does look GOOOD I liked the carbon bonnet scoop they do for the Caterham 7, that would look good. Have you seen the cup race cars? dont they have an intake where one of the headlights would be?

Sounds like it needs a fair bit of development work. 5bhp would be a good gain from an air intake mod, but lots of people have said the ram air effect will only really start to work around 200+mph:confused: Still it will be interesting to see what Reault come up with...............if ever!

Sounds interesting, what have Reverie said about the air intake position? are you going through the bonnet?

Yeah sounds like it would help the K&N zedx19. I cant remember who it was but they were talking about putting a plastic shell over the filter, which when the bonnet closed sealed the filter from the hot engine bay. Reverie do a formuls 1 style air intake for the Elise, all carbon very...

Your probably right, but have you seen how tight it is under the bonet of a Mk2 172!

Hang on, 25 bhp out of a 1.2.............thats not going to get you going much quicker anyway! De-cat etc etc nice sounds and a bit more go. But only a bit, just save ya money and get something quicker. My 172 now seems like it could do with more power, belive me the amount of money you will...
