    Wheel Spacers on Ph1

    Iv done the fronts. 5mm per side = 10mm wider track which on a ph1 brings it to Cup spec offsets (et38)

    exhaust gains

    No gains but thats not really the reason why folk change on these.

    £150 for a exhaust gasket

    Spring kits are the biggest con going. Got sick of mine blowing every 2 mins so just bolted the fooker up tight flange to flange and never been a problem since lol

    de-cat

    Maybe theres no ''cat'' inside it ;):rasp:

    de-cat

    Mate whats the difference between a cat and a decat? Nothing apart from a pipe stuffed full of material. Removing the material creates less build up thus moving the gasses out more freely and efficiently If your mpg's dropping off then check your lambda's or maybe look at the fueling side...

    Prospeed decat.

    Basically yes mate. Will be more expensive tho id imagine but will help to muffle the noise

    Youngest 197/200 owners??

    Your right, dosent matter what car someone has they can still loon it and crash but the more figures under the right foot someone has the more temptation is there to use it. Add inexperience into the equasion and the risks are naturally a lot higher than someone in a lower powered car.

    K-tec mounts

    Is it worthwhile to change to these if your stock mounts are fine?

    Shortshift differences?!

    Think matching revs to engine speed helps preserve boxes

    Prospeed decat.

    You could always go silenced decat if you were worried about the noise?

    Prospeed decat.

    Decat on a 172 is worth it imo On a 182 less so as they run a less restrictive cell'd cat

    172 Exclusive Cat Question

    Mines on a Y plate running two although not a exclusive. There is 2 types of later cat, one running the 1 and one running 2 so you might only get your answer by having a look :(

    My steering wheels slightly out....

    Dont take it to ATS what ever you do. Got my tracking done a few years back and the steering wheel was still offset, as it was prior to taking it in. Went back and they told me there was nothing they could do as it was set to Renault specs and they cant change it. They said they'd have a look...

    K-tec mounts

    Is it worth doing the dogbone mount bush or is that more for stabilising ?

    K-tec mounts

    How do you find these on the traction front? With it being more direct do you find theres more chance of wheel spinning off the line ?

    Prospeed decat.

    Stock 172's seem to make mid to high 160's so to get 10 bhp+ from a decat is a bit optimistic :) Decat on a 172 do make a difference. Not sure about raw gains but it does free it up a noticeable amount

    Noisy tappet

    Its hard to tell from the vid but just from hearing that it sounds like a typical harsh 172 lump and highlighted by the low idle with the sewing machine effect. Not sure about the Cups but the ph1 usually idles higher when cold then drops back when warm. Thats defo on the low side, you can...

    Noisy tappet

    What you got your idle at mate? sounds a bit on the low side. Hard to tell from the vid. If its running ok apart from the noise then you could give it a oil change and see if that helps?

    Noisy tappet

    Just my opinion mate and im no expert but if that was me id get the dephaser fitted. Its a extra 140 but its peace of mind so long as that is the problem of course.

    Noisy tappet

    Pretty much all the time from memory but iirc more so when it was warmed up. Thing is with the dephaser, everyone kind of reports slightly different noices and all the vids sound slightly different due to different recording devices etc From reading on here most folk report it sounding like...

    Prospeed decat.

    LOL @ 180 bhp from a decat on stock engine. Worth it yeah.

    Noisy tappet

    Thing is tho mate is sounded goosed but when it was taken apart all was fine. These engines are pretty harsh.

    Noisy tappet

    Its probably just the dephaser mate. Never heard of lifters and followers being a problem in these? Got to point out i was running reprofiled cams at the time which apparently can make a difference although the noise hadnt happend before having covered 60k on them. Also the cars a high miler...

    Noisy tappet

    Just pm'd you back lol Never found out as i replaced the lifters followers and dephaser all in the one hit but the noise sounded like it was coming right over the top of the plenum rather than the dephaser. No wear was found on the lifters and followers even tho it sounds pretty bad

    Cambelt & Cams Questions

    Not without hunting out my old time slips lol but iirc its 2008. I'll try and have a look later

    Noisy tappet

    Are you sure its not the dephaser pulley? Have a search for the video's just to double check
