Just need a few tricks to get my car through its mot. It failed on emmisions miserably:
Fast Idle:
CO 4.84%
HC 232ppm
Lambda 0.86
Idle:
CO 8.24
Ive managed to get it down on idle to 1.5% CO after cleaning the lambda, so any tricks to lower it that little bit more for the MOT..
Cheers
Yes finally done it! but only because it failed the mot on them! and alot more lol!
just need a lambda sensor now!
For all those who arent familiar with what i was nagged about!
does it run live at change over point? or does it turn off? im wiring in a 5th injector and it'll be ideal for the injector to come live at the point of change over, rather than just a floor switch, and a power switch.
Decided to keep the 172 now, and on clarkies advice, track **** her!
so its stripped out, getting 4 point harnesses, and now with black wheels!
Before:
After:
Soon to have:
FK coilovers
Roll cage
Possibly Coilovers
And possibly fit the Jenvey throttle bodies i have!
of my 172, all driving done on a road-like test track :cool:

My first attempt using windows movie maker so be gentle!
Well here is a valver i bought a while back, that needed a few issues sorted out on it, wiring, immobiliser, and mainly paintwork.
Heres it progress in pictures!
Ive got a few of how it started off, but cannae find them!
Just finishing the flatting and polishing:
Can someone/anyone Photoshop different colour wheels on my 172, im thinking anthracite/gun metal or any ther colours people suggest?
Pics:
Thank you!!!
well i polished it again today, and decided to go out for some pics!
You can see the Glastonbury Tor right in the distance in this pic:
And My favourite!
Comments welcome!
Well i was bored, so decided to do a few things to the 172,
stripped out the rear, ported the inlet manifold, relocated the airfilter to the front foglight, and removed the fog, oil change, and plug change.
And wow, what a difference! it now pops on over run, thnunders on acceleration, and...
yes, all of 2 lol!
Had a very good day, went on the dodgems, then a few people went on the air rifles and got some little unsuspecting child, who was watching wet!
Some very good vids of the day too...
Post them in here!! i have a vid, no sound tho, i'll post it up in a sec...
