Thanks m8s. Its just a back box, not sure what to do with the cat since the car becomes illegal where I live as soon as its removed. The Remus is quite pricy but I got a good deal on it, cost me round 300 but I dont live in the UK so I dont know whats normal pricing there. Its a quality...

Had my Remus fitted yesterday and it looks fab in my opinion, at least much better than befor. The car also sounds much heavier at idle and the induction roar has been slightly polished. Dont know if Im gaining any horses but it seems as it is producing more torque...but thats probably the...

Ok thougt so, Im getting Power Tech Hockinheim springs. I dont know if its popular in the UK but theyre quite big in Germany. Im going to check how they work and if Im not satisfied Ill get coilovers and use these as cup-holders or something. Yeah and b.t.w. paddymph your 1/4 mile time is CRAZY!

Hello everyone. I will be getting my 40mm lowering springs tonight and am going to have it lowered tomorrow so I went to this garage I know to check if they were free. Then this garage bloke said I would need new shocks for the lowering springs to be fitted... Is he justin trying to screw me...

Ok then, didnt think so. Thanks for the reply It was really fun though and probably looked good..

Went out for a blast last night doing some sliding and in one of my slides with the foot down in 2nd my mate(who was sitting beside me) said I was spinning the wheel at his side too(I was really burning rubber on my side)... So does the 172 mk2 have lsd? Never noticed doing double wheel...

I see, thanks m8.

Anyone? I dont want to order it online and have it sent to me because the customs and taxes + shipping would mean the price would be sky high

Ill be in London for a few days in August and have decided to buy an ap22 when Im there. So my question is where can I buy an ap22 there, Im all in all a tourist(although Ive been there a couple of times) so Ill be hanging round the tourist places (Oxford street, Tottenham Court Road etc.) so Id...

It looks cool and so does the whole car, I was just joking:p

And how much faster is it with the carbon-fiber sticker?

Well it is red so Im not surprised;)

Nice, the vts is a fast car indeed. My friend used to own one(owns a 172 now) and it was darn fast but had to be repaired a bit to often. On the other hand the 172 he has is in the dealers every other week so vts and the 172 are the same quality to him. Plan on getting 14.5 later this summer

Thanks m8s and great time Craggy, any mods? All I did was remove the spare wheel and vola. Been waiting for my exhaust, springs and computer for really long now so I went for a final run with no mods so I can see the difference later. Im really happy with that time since my Contis are almost...

Well I managed to get a mailto:14.9@147kph">14.9@147kph at the drag strip tonight so the red b*****d is working fine again. Now its time for some tuning:devilish:

The thing is I dont want 17s, just wider tires on 16s but if its rubing time then I dont know. The arch looked like it could take a lot wider than standard.

Im thinking of buying a set of 16X7.5 OZ Superturismo and 215/40 Toyo Proxes under my 172 which I can get for a resonable price. The only thing Im worried about is whether the wheels are too wide with ET37 offset So what do you think? Good choice or what?

Well I removed my Viper which had no hose at the end and put the original airbox back on and the car has definetely less torque on low revs. Havent compared it flat out but plan on doing it next Friday at the drag strip.

The hose was to fluffy

:oops:He he, the cause has been found. It seems that the hose I used at the end of the viper wasnt good enough, it collapsed at full trottle so the engine couldnt get enough air. Now that Ive removed it the clio works like a charm. Its easy to be wise afterwards:p

Ok thanks for the quick and good answer BenR, think Ill maybe put the stock filter back on

5. OZ superleggera rocks big time

Aha and how do I DE-limp it? Yeah and btw Im running it on V-power99+ (think its the same as optimax) so the fuel should not be a proplem

It was about 14°C I think edit: How long do I have to have the battery disconnected to reset the computer?

I dont know what happened, I was at the drag strip last night and in one run it just lost its power. It seems to work normal until I hit 4k rpm then it just stops working like it should and just slowly revs little higher. It wasnt raining so it did not get water in the intake and Ive put the...

Im going for a Remus my self, it a bit expensive but sounds and looks the best imo.

My dad has a Dodge Ram with V8 360 engine +RWD and it is so much fun to slide it. Used to have a E39 bimmer and man did I slide it, nearly killed my self in one of my crazy runs.

Well I finally finished the job and installed the viper properly. On Monday night I removed the "mistery valve" and now I finished laying the intake. I found a pretty good way to remove the mistery valve in my oppionion and it was to remove it from below. Dont know if anyone else has done it...

I know I can get below 15 cause I got into wheelspin on my best times and can probably shift faster. Im not sure about the viper since I havent installed it properly but it sounds better than standard and feels quicker than my old k&n. Yeah and one question, do you 1/4milers turn everything...

I went to the drag racing track tonight and did a few runs and got best 15.070sek at 90.72mph. The car is stock except for a viper which gets its air from there.http://www.hi.is/~sveinbo/Viper2.jpgSo what do you think, is it a good time and what times have you got?
