when i had my 172 i had h&r's coily's on it, i did have a bit of a problem with understeer in the wet but i put it down to me not getting them 'professionally' set-up, my dad fitted them!!
i dont know if you have fitted yours by yourself or if a specialist could help you out by adjusting them...
do your coilovers cost 1300 each for the fronts??
yeah the trophy will understeer, but its quite hard to get to that point!!! lol
i didnt realise you had coilovers mate. The tyres seem to have a lot to do with the 182's good handling, are your tyres A1??
its all to do with the set-up of the front and rear dampers together on the trophy. A trophy has been set-up for optimum handling and yes they do sit a bit higher at the back than a cupped 182. A lot of people noticed the difference in ride height when they were released. A normal 182 with...
the correct thing to do is to buy a trophy, they dont understeer, at all.
best handling car ive driven. But the best way would be as mark cup said and lift off progressively!!
or if its desperate you could use a touch of the old h'brake rather than lift off.

fleece was quite pricey at 90 notes but i bought it for myself for my birthday, along with the janspeed!! lol
i came from a v6 to the trophy, i can now get from a-b a LOT faster in the trophy, its just so much more balanced and the v6 was far too unpredictable at the limit!!
it did have a lot of good points but im more than happy with the switch.
good choice of colour on the 182 mate, and 11k...
ok i dont want to jinx it but with the new 'flare' fitted from cat to system the problem is cured and i can appreciate the full sound of the janspeed zorst. What an improvement over standard!! if you dont have 1 then buy 1 now!! (i cant promise it will seal first time though!!) lol
hope i...
yeah justin im in a wee village aswell, not much happens here!!
the way i like it, especially as i only have a driveway at my house, no room on the side for a garage!!!
justin, are you or any others going to the touring cars on sunday??
cheers justin, he was a little happier sending me a new section, not the whole system!! hope you finally get 1!!!
fred, we originally used the same 1 but then ma mate at kwik fit fitted a new 2 piece clamp. When i phoned the guy at janspeed the first thing he said after i told him was that...
spoke to a guy at janspeed today and he is going to send me a new section that joins the new zorst to the cat. this will be delivered 2moro
free gratis of course!!!!
Will get ma mate to try again 2moro, hopefully i will have a decent sounding trophy for the drive up to the touring cars on...
good news (i think?) some1 else has suffered the dreaded 'fart' noise! lol
cheers for the help guys.
Justin i am heading to kwik fit now to see my mate, he will put it up on the ramps and re-fit everything and fingers crossed eh!! will report bck later.
Ian
just used the same 'u' clamp at first, the 1 that was already there.
When i took it to kwik fit my mate re fitted new 2 piece clamps etc and used exhaust paste, it didnt completely fix it but it was a lot better. Now it is back to the same annoying noise again though!!!
hi all,
any1 had any issues with an aftermarket exhaust sealing properly?
i had the janspeed fitted by my dad, then a mate at kwik fit gave it the once over etc, he had to re-fit the bracket at the cat and seal with exhaust paste as it sounded like a tractor.
However i am noticing...
