Ive just been on the blower to BMC about the carbon airbox and it seems there is now one that is designed specifically for the 172 which is 150mm diameter and 160mm long. That size will be perfect for my 16v but how big are the inlet and outlet flanges? Are they 85mm or 70mm? Anyone know?

Anyone here got an F7P lump or inlet manifold sitting around in the shed? I need to get a measurement for the circumference of the throttle body, the egg shaped bit where the airbox bolts onto. And its too wet to go out and take it all apart at the moment? So if you can get a bit of string...

Thought Id post this here as Ive been doing a bit of research on this (for the Clio 16v): The standard Piper fast road cams are called 270s cos they have roughly a 270 degree duration (give 12bhp, power band 1800-6800 rpm). The deal is they are exchange and are reprofiled from standard 16v...

I cant remember which one of you was talking about getting the head gas-flowed but I just found that SCC (the flaming exhaust / Cossie place) do headwork etc. Check out their website or give them a ring, theyre quite near you two anyway... http://www.sccperformance.co.uk/

Ive been thinking about getting exhaust flames going next time I go 1/4 miling. The question is: are they wicked? Or just cheesy in a 50s Grease sort of way? Anyway check out these hillbillies videoing a flaming car http://www.hotrodsetc.net/broggymoving.mpg
