Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread Just read the thread from start >> finish! Nice work mate :cool: , bet the thing flies compared to a standard 172, lol at the height drop prob with the h&r's just imagine what it would look like on standard springs with that much weight :dead: Need...

Looking good, prep is the key when ever painting is involved :) , colour code the rest of the car too! lol

Re: ** PH2 RESTORE >> ROAD GOING GO-KART ** What batterey did you have installed mate & how much did it cost? got any pics? Been looking at some by the name of red top, the redtop 25 looks good but dont know if that will keep the 172 alive for normal use :S

Lol pep, If you want a hot hatch to go fast in a straight line then look into a type R, very thirsty compared to the clio & alot dont come with air con :dapprove: .. but the clio does do well, have caught a few people of gaurd that were in bigger cars not expecting it to move like it does.. like...

Re: ** PH2 RESTORE >> ROAD GOING GO-KART ** That would be ace mate, 6/8kg batterey would be very handy on the weight saving side of things indeed, seeing as it cost fortunes for just a few extra bhp loosing weight seems the best way forward & should improve fuel consumption & breaking power...

Wish these kits were under a £1000... group buy is needed!! lol

Make sure you get a good fitting sump key, rounding it off is an expensive lesson... think its 8mm off the top of my head but its worth double checking, sump keys can be bought in halfords for under £10 & that gives you a set that will cover most cars :)

I was looking at these - http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/4826.html cant fault pionner & direct fit for the clio :cool:

Could be a number of things.. but start by trying the things that dont break the bank.. would look into spark plugs / HT leads / coil pack next.. or get down to any reno specialist & hook up your car to the computer & see what fault codes it comes up with

Not filled up at any shite petrol stations lately? friend of mines had a really weird backfire/missfire in parts of the rev range.. replaced loads of bits.. still didnt fix it.. 300 miles later filled it up & walla, all fixed :eek:

Depends when it was last serviced, usally providing the cambelt & aux have been done it shouldnt hit your wallet too bad, 72,000's the fairly big one

Any lights on the dash such as emisions or anything?

Make sure you do a good 10-15 min run, they limiter is not removed untill oil is upto temp, not water.. but saying that limiter is around 6k not 5 so may need to be plugged into the computer to see whats wrong

Not too worry, looks ace & since its flexible its not too bad, just gotta be carefull not to take the paint off the cup spoiler :dapprove: Ace find though mate, first aireal that fits tidy to the base mount & performs!

I thought the standard 172 engine was exactly the same as the cup, well minus the engine cover :rasp:.. then the only diffrecne with the 182 was the exhaust manifold..

If your car didnt come with a cup spoiler as standard it will, like mine :dapprove:

Nice work, i'm a carbon freak like your self lol, the no. plates look ace, gonna have to get some :cool: , same head unit as mine, cant fault it for the money, especially since you still get a cd player even though my Usb drive gets rid of the bloody cds sliding all over the place lol Need to...

Re: ** PH2 RESTORE >> ROAD GOING GO-KART ** No barry white hear lol, although havin to turn the air con & xenons off every 10 seconds may become annoying lol, any idea what sort of battery i could get away with running then chris-172?

If you want one bad enough you'll get one mate, f**k owning one with the possible £2 a little at the pumps though lol

Nice work mate, not a fan of the alloys though, always prefered renault originals, i know there hated & classed as "common" but you cant beat the turinis :cool:.. deep down every one loves em! 172 Ph2 alloys look smart on the PH1 172's too

Hopefully work will pick up & you can get a sport mate:cool: , still gotta get you to make me one of those pics for me, was hoping this month to get one off you, Coil overs were purchased so now i'm back to where i was last moth :dapprove:

dammm! didnt even know, just gonna have to keep being carefull when opening the boot then:dapprove:, does look well smart though, does'nt look cheap or tacky ;)

Fair enough mate, the sport box's are far from great like you say, hows yours coping with the 230 figure? That thing must be so much fun to drive :evil:

Re: ** PH2 RESTORE >> ROAD GOING GO-KART ** So moving on with the questions as i'm burning time tonight on the lappy top.. 1. Whats the best way to go about removing the carpets to access the sound deadning? plan to remove it all this weekend to get the little 172 lighter :cool: 2. what...

I've put my name down on the maybe's saner :) , would only really wanna go if the ITG max was on with the 45degree bend + matched inlets

Fook me your motor must move! what sort of 0-60 times does that pull? 5k, thats k-tec turbo right there :eek: .. 250bhp "supposedly"

May get down to a scrap yard, weigh the car then use the Fast chip Perfomance analyzer, that should be a fairly good reading, how much can i expect to gain from some thing like angel works matched inlets?

Thats gay, hoped to be putting down atleast 180hp... it aint easy making more power.. on with the matched inlets!:cool:

What are you pushing with all that then mate? i have read that alot of people were getting the 170bhp mark from standards on the rollers, some with bad spark plugs, dirty filters or just very un-well 172's etc were still getting 160hp+

Sorry to hi-jack, what do you guys reckon my 172 should be putting out, the list! Cat back powerflow sytem 2" with 2 straight through silencers De-cat RS tunner Group N map ITG Pannel filter was hoping for the 190hp figure, engine does feel great so one can hope lol :approve: What do you...
