    Who runs decat? What and why?

    i optimized the inlet(s) which are now big and non restrictive , threw in some awesome Italian cams, and the decat (+ofcourse rest of exhaust) must be done to compliment the other work done. Maximise air/fuel in and maximise out-flow.. logical thought me thinks. So all restrictions lost...

    the perfect exhaust (inox)

    Nah, that's not it. The exhaust mount (back one) would be in the wrong place too .. i think it looks awfull like this.

    How much abuse will a mk2 172?

    likes to rev, this car. Needs it. You will have to watch brakes and tyres i guess, that's it. Change oil more often when you're going all out revving the tits off of her

    emmissions mot failure?

    yeah the cat should be red hot when going for emissions test. It does'nt even work when cold

    Tracking always out?

    yeah ball joint is the almost ONLY possibilty when tracking is out again in such a short time. When this has play (they should check for you) you will never get a correct tracking !

    any truth in the matter

    ^^ yeah i've read about this on the Aussie site. Expensive job too. You'd be better off with the JMS inlet is my guess, cheaper and effective

    damn i knew something was different ;)

    Pictures of 300mm steering wheels...

    90 mm deepdish. Sorry not a great pic. This way you can move the seat back for good throttleposition and the wheel is still nice and close to you. A lot of you are about the looks of a wheel, it should just bring good driveability !

    Pictures of 300mm steering wheels...

    one advice to the OP ; if you decide to get one , get a deep-dished one ! Far better than the flat ones ! meaning the seating position get a lot better

    rubbing an inner rear arch

    maybe you could check for the "response?" of the rear shocks/springs. How does the back of your Cup spring back up when you trie to push the backside down ? It should spring back up to the position from where it started and also stop there . I hope that's clear , was looking for words in my...

    Grrrrr!!! wtf

    jacking point ; mine is also bent. Inwards though so no prob. I think a proper jacking point is far further inwards or so i've read. On a beam.

    coolant level in my clio 182

    i had the same a couple of months back. My waterpump was leaking/faulty. Cost me a new pump (around 60 pounds) , new auxbelt and a little labour. In total 150 i believe Next time when being able to look under the car you can spot a leak by the red (or green i believe) residue it spits...

    Outer CV joint

    yeah well for sure there IS some play going round in the front section after a lot of miles of thrashing.. May get the Mark Fish top mounts some time. Let me know if you find the prob mate ; mine has very strangely went away but always listening for it to come back. It will, is my guess

    Outer CV joint

    That's odd.. I had a tapping noise too , sonetimes coming out of a curve. Was already looking out for shafts and unhappily preparing for the $$$ it would cost me. Now the problem/noise has dissapeared !?!?

    Opinions of this exhaust

    it is just the backbox and it looks okay. The " Orbisoud" backbox looks exactly the same. 35 euro is allright you will need a good welder to get it to match the rest of your exhaust :)

    Uprated mounts

    i could, yep. It's a far better gearstick-feel too (no more rocking of the engine)

    Uprated mounts

    You're the one talkin rubbish here mate, the reactions were all good info Back on topic; i always changed mine (3 times) back to oem. couple of months back i tried the dogbone from Powerflex and really like it. Better throttle reaction. I can predict that when i choose the uprated top ones...

    Hi. Just bought a 172 cup, very impressed but a few questions.

    i found mine to be noisy with the standard oil they throw in at Reno , now i use Motul 300V (great stuff) and all noise gone. Opie oils is the one to check. I also get the humming from the interior light but only with engine off ? I do'nt care about it and it's lasted for 4 years + i still...

    Newbie looking for a Clio 172, pros and cons?

    best upgrade will be good suspension, although the OEM suspension does quite well when not too old No cross-overs i think. Read up on matched inlets (inletmanifold) , it's mostly a very good mod. And a Fastchip Remap or tunerkit (www.fastchip.nl) Ofcourse exhaust-mods. Decat with remap +...

    fitting a decat to 182.

    bolts are with springs on one side, the other ones are normal

    fitting a decat to 182.

    yeah it's quite simple, maybe worth getting a gasket-set (new bolts come with that i think) . this will set you back another 30pounds i believe
