Anyone know of a decent RR in Kent?

How the feck did you knacker it Nick?! Most inconsiderate!!!

...just phoned them and apparantly its broken, and wont be fixed for a month or so! Nightmare!! Anyone know of a good RR in the South East area, other than Power Eng...

BenR Is there any way of improving/increasing the std 172 TB without going to multiple TBs?

Frosty - since the 172 and Cup engines are identical, it makes a nonsense out of the statement that the R-Sport ECU wont fit a Mk2 172!! Sounds like a marketing ploy by R-Sport to make 172 owners wait, then charge them more for the same part! BTW, anyone know just how much is stored in the ECU...

Arjun - 3-4mm is nothing to worry about, and no doubt within the tolerances for the AVO springs, build of the car etc. To do the measurement properly, youll need a billiard-smooth, totally flat surface and very carefully measure each side of the car (from road to top of the arch, taking a centre...

Do you have a web link for this 220 euro conversion?

Ditch the b**ch and go for a HillPower Induction Kit - fit it yourself and dont worry about the fuelling mod - it sounds awesome...almost as good as the sound of the Clio V6 (or am I just losing the plot?!). I love it!

Thanks paul172! Who rolled your rear arches? And for how much? Does it affect the bodywork warranty at all?

Someone needs to take a std mk2 172, rolling road it before, then fit a Cup ECU, an R-Sport ECU and a Group N ECU and run the car on the rollers each time for a definitive answer!

As read off from the under the centre cap of my Mk2 172 std alloys 7x16 ET48.5

paul172 - any problems with clearance or handling as a result of running the 17s with a different offset (std 172 wheels being ET48.5)

Sorry, my mistake! Well spotted that man!

paul172 - is that your car with the OZ Titans on it? Looks very nice! What offset are the alloys?

A lot of very confusing/conflicting posts!! The R-Sport ECU cannot possibly be the same as the Clio Cup Race Cars for one very simple reason - they use a completely different ECU setup which has no relation to either the 172 or 172 Cup road cars. Plus, the racers are based on a Mk1 172 setup...

My advice would be to get it on a rolling road to check the fuelling. Not all the 172s run lean....and a simple increase in the fuelling can cure it if you do find a problem. Id speak to BB Tuning if I were you...

Cupsize - how long ago did you buy the wheels as theyre not on Primas web site and having searched Google I cant find any links for Cromadora...do you know if theyre still in business? Are the wheels 7x17 or 7.5x17?

BTTT....for Sangy

Thanks Sangy. Interesting, cuz at one of the RR sessions, the 172s with Viper kits were down on power vs a std 172! Mind you, thats all down to the RR to a certain extent. Is the Dastek mod easily removeable and how much did your insurance company sting you for it? Having just completed a...

DOH! just seen it - damn search engine *LOL* Thanks!

Fantastic stuff! Did you get a before and after rolling road plot? What does the Unichip mod include?

Tried searching the db but the link to the photos of your Cup with Koenig seats no longer appears to work! Can you post them up here? Thanks!

Cupsize - the wheels look superb! What size tyres are you running and do you have any problems with them scrubbing under hard driving?

Rumour has it the ECU isnt finished, and at present generates less power than std on a std 172! Most of the fabled R-Sport mods for the Cup seems to be vapour-ware right now...

What make/model/size/offeset wheels are those Cupsize? And whose springs have you lowered it with?

Dump valves only serve any real purpose on 500bhp monster Cossies and the like which are running serious enough boost to actually stall the turbo!!!

172Cup - you werent at Bedford Autodrome last Sat (8th March) were you?

If you want a superb garage in Essex, then try Stancombe Vehicle Engineering, near Orsett. Colin races in the Clio Cup (with a 4 car team) and has been in Motor Racing for 20 odd years. You couldnt really find a better/more knowledgable mechanic. He lowered my 172 on Eibachs (which I supplied)...

Pah! I managed to hold off/pull away from a std 2003 Scooby round Bedford Autodrome -and- on the 1km straight last weekend

Wait till the new V6 comes out - theyll probably drop the price of the old model even more!
