Ive heard that if I replace my cats with a decat pipe then the 2nd Lama sensor (one furthest away from engine) wont read the correct temperature even if screwed into cat pipe.
Does this sound correct to you? Will the temperature inside the cats be different to the temperature within the decat...
Captain, Ive had mine rolling roaded twice. 1st Time 160 @ wheels, 2nd Time 153 @ wheels. 2nd Time @ flywheel was 175 which I think is bang on for my mods. Cat Back Magnex and BMC airbox with cold air feed.
Have got my decat pipe now which will be modifying to fit when I get car back then...
Hi Simon.
Yeh Ive been road testing a 1.2 this week as well to see what the fuss it all about ;-) (joke). In fact the one Ive got is rather nippy. You really have to rag it to get the power out. Tried keeping up with a 2.5 TDI Audi yesterday. I gave a good show but he still had me - b*****d...
My local Renault Dealer took delivery of a 172 Cup this week. Its now in the showroom. Had a long peek at it. The engine looks really different with all the platic covers removed. In some ways it looks better - more hardcore. You can see why it is much cheaper than a std. 172. because they have...

Ive been driving around in a a 1.2 for the last week. They are bloody nippy for a 1.2 !! I thought it was 1.4 until I looked under the bonnet. Have driven the 1.2 Corsa before and this has got more go than that. Not sure what mods. are available for the 1.2 but at a guess you could go for a more...
Forget it they want 150,000 Yen for it which equates to just under £800.
Captain you know where to get a larger throttle body from on the cheap? will it make any difference?
Simon, maybe this might larger throttle body might give a bit more BHP? What do you reckon guys?

The biggest problems with all these power mods. is that it will be very difficult to find a standard insurer to cover the risk. It would mean using someone like Adrian Flux and gut feeling is it aint going to be cheap. But then if money aint an issue then thats cool.
For me personally id love...
Prima Racing I think do a conversion for £3000 to £4000 fitted. You can buy the parts for about £1500 but I havent found anyone yet who makes the inlet manifold required. Prima will obviously have this and might sell as a separate item. You would be looking at about 225 BHP @ the flywheel.
