^^ right, +1 I put my Cup on H&R's and after a year i RAISED the front a bit for BETTER HANDLING (+ still some scrubbing now + then grrr)

i stepped through the minefield and won a lot of unharmed strong horse-legs :D

it's possible. 171,6 at the WHEELS , throw an equation of 15% transmission-loss on there and you'll get a very healthy power. More likely is 12% loss though

that's a horrible picture of a maybe not so horrible car... wide angle sucks

sometimes there is oil on the road ;)

Maupinedia (if i'm correct with spelling) on here has them. Supposably the same profile as Colombo&Bariani cams which i have. They worked out VERY well on my Cup

Maybe Engine Dynamics cams is something to look at ? i thought there were a couple on here with good results ; affordable cams.

no airco

engine mounts are weak/wear quite quickly (all 172's) The engine will be rocking around a lot , play in the gearstick and sluggish throttle-response when you have worn/broken mounts There are nice uprated ones for sale though, siffer ones which make a sporty drive. I changed mine on my Cup...

Ahh i was just reading up and reacted in another thread about an idler ! So a 172 Cup does'nt have one !? i thought it was just the tensioner it does'nt have..

Sorry for a bit of a hijack ; Can the idler pulley get noisy /whiney after a while ? Or even stall/break ? When they did the cambelt on mine i think they did'nt do the idler, they just threw on a new aux belt only...:( Is it a small/affordable job to "correct" this; do JUST the full...

yep you need to block the tube you were talking about. This may also be causing your idle prob, it not being blocked yet.

^^ could well be yep , was thinking this over dirt coming loose

that is a rule i trie to live by ! Except me Cup has been having bad cold start-ups, where i need to use the pedal to keep her going. This has gradually gotten worse and my thought was dirty injectors. Since a 200 mile drive with the shiz in me tank the startups have improved and idle has...

^^ cheers lads Normally i would'nt use additives but i read the stuff is used here by a lot of dealers, AUDI(VAG) + Porsche for example and they get very good results with it. It's called Tunap, one treatment costs about 20p. I would'nt use anything to chuck in the engine/oil for example...

?

You will definately be happy , it's a "first" mod to do when having an RS You will probably notice a more free-revving enginebehaviour, driveability improved

idle at 2k does'nt sound right guys, especially with a cold engine

is it not written/stamped on the nut ?

inlets from factory can be very poorly ported/machined , some more machining to "match" them to head + eachother can bring up to a shocking 10+ hp (recorded in one case!) generally when having an early RS it is one of the first mods to do

yeah every time i drive it i go to the red, it's good for cleaning valves etc. and keeping it "loose" But with the additive , i'm thinking it might not be safe to be pulling to the limiter and having good fun ? worried here ... Fred , Henk ?

I put in some quality German stuff , on a full tank. After maybe 70 miles driving round with it i noticed when red-lining it it began to splutter at high revs/ hold back ! It just happened again . I guess i could be some "dirt" coming loose, but is it safe to thrash it like you...

^^ mine took ehh... much longer But i guess because of living alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way in HOLLAND it was a good excuse ? He will never learn, good ol Ben

WD40 , spray it in there and wait a couple of minutes , try again

that saved you a visit to the stealers ! :approve: fixed costing a couple of pennies, that's great

Hi there ! wrong place to introduce yourself i believe, seeing the amount of reactions you're getting. Yeah they are fun cars with good grip to throw around ! Mine has more power, made it lighter and i can really say it's a lot more fun than my former Subaru ! Have fun with the...

Budgie just "budged" no need for belts then , when having an electric one. Sorry, that's all i can say to help. Perhaps a fuse ?

K-tec, good afterservice

^ that is a nice looking ehh.. bolt

remap for starters not really neccescary, just further down the road when doing air-intake it is best to get max out of setup. Hold on, you have a 182. I have read that plenty of 182 drivers did NOT benefit from the decat because of a much better OEM exhaust setup from factory. Supposably...
