Won't loose strength. Slam panel doesn't create much strength and it's not cut out its completely removed. Lucky's has his cut out.
The front cross member creates most of the strength and the chassis legs.
Yea I had the bonnet and pins off in the pics today as I was sorting it out. Bonnet was raised too high and was on the piss slightly. High and low in various places.

acrebo, you got my PM? I found out about the single throttle body price.
Go to talk talk. I think if its not available in your area they pay your BT broadband until it is as your supposed to get free broadband with them forever.
What is the 182 cat like? Exactly like that in the terms of length?
Is it easy to get a downpipe made up for a 172 mk1 and then just buy a 182 de-cat and 182 cat to easily swap over at MOT?
I might be looking at having this done.
You would basically remove your 172 mk1 cat which stretches up to your manifold.

Is the 182 cat a straight pipe? i.e doesn't go up to the manifold.
Just thinking about eventually having a downpipe made up and having a 182 de-cat and cat easily available to swap over when mot time comes.

The spark plugs I listed I have spare already so want to use those really.

5.7 secs was my best time Chris. 14.3 over the quarter mile I think. It's in the 0-60 1/4 miles post up somewhere.
Carl (lucky) just beat me, I think it was because he put his wing mirrors in lol. Nice touch. Every bit counts I suppose...
