Sounds like he really knows his engines lol

And that is by no means simple, been there done that on my old 1.2.... Just re-sprayed it my self as it just wasn't right

Unless the guy who fitted the exhaust did a shite job & its blowing & now wants to bill you to take the cat out?? i have never been able to tell if a cat is blown & i have owned a few motors.. signs like a very strong smell of petrol & emissions lights usally point in the direction but 99% of...

And you were worried about me you say pep? :rasp: Off note, went to gsf today, they want around a £100 for the brembo grooved discs :cool: . although standard rears are £70 each :eek:

Cool, well hopefully get it all gutted out & since the spare wheel will no longer be there it can sit flush ( hopefully lol ) under the boot carpet, is there any good guides on doing this? sounds fairly straight forward but its always nice to see what others have done :)

Thanks for info mate ;) , how much work is involved in reloacating the batterey? plan to strip mine, long term plan.. could just end up being pipe dreams but would love a stripped out go-kart clio to use on the road :evil:

Thanks for the input guys, will just leave the feeds alone for now, If you were to change the 90 induction pipe to a similiar design to the one pictured on the cup racer would you get noticable gains? while on the subject, what do those cupracer engines put out power wise? & are there major...

Mate have you seen one of them in the flesh? the picture ql is gash :dead: .. maybe £3-500 cheaper than decent makes but its sure shows through, also looks very flimsy, cant comment on it being in a car but saw it in halfords, it was sat next to a pioneer one on the display section, the pioneer...

What map did you upload mate?

What size cold air feed tube did you use mate? any one know the standard size cold air feed? the cloth small one on top of the airbox that is

LOL Have heard of this happening to a few people so would prefer to avoid, planned more to put a bigger bore'd caf into the box as the top is fairly small, you got any pics of yours mate?

Been tempted into doing that, just worried of hydro lock as the uk doesn't seem to be the dry'est of places :dapprove:..

On my ongoing quest for improvement i have now looked into new caf's, purely as i could get positive gains for fewer £££ :cool: , so first question what have you guys done, got any pics? Guides? I've had a search & read up on the acoustic valve, i get the theory behind it but just wondered if...

So my 2002 plate probarbly doesn't have an rs one then.. hmmmm.. possible 8+ littles horses to be released there then :cool:

Re: someph-ing different........... Good read, nice little project mate :cool: , what sort of weight are you aiming for? i'm heading for the gutted route on my ph2 172

I'd be up for it too guys ;) , couz, pm me vids lol

Rs tunner, itg pannel filter & power flow makes my 172 much more fun to drive & provides more usable power for normal every day driving :)

Ment to leave it around 2 weeks if its not oven baked, but this is said if you plan to machine polish it

Very tidy little rocket that mate, nice work, wish my 172 weighed 730kg - what fun that would be :evil:

The tomtom almost took another trip out the window, took ages to find a signal :dapprove: , got home alrite in the end, didn't relise just how far we actually traveled lol

I made a good fix in the guide section, works sweet so far & it did take some serious "testing" last night :cool:

Nice work mate, was a good meet, you should have hung around for the evening cruise, was good :evil: .. ended up miles from home though lol

Gearboxs are a weak point on the 172, so i hear! try a fresh load of gearbox oil & see if that helps.. if not you may end up spending a few £££

Did'nt see any steam/smoke when i was behind you mate, couldn't smell any thing either so hopefully just trapped air

When i did a coolant change on the old 1.2 it did this, hopefully just that then mate, if not i'll see if my mate still has his compression tester & go from there

Not good mate :dapprove: , did you install the rad very recently? may still have air trapped in there thats working it way out, checked the filler cap for the white gunk?

Nice gti, would rather the 172, what you need is a cup spoiler, cup splitter, turini alloys & drop it 30mm & will have a more agressive stance like your gti :cool:

My first ever spotted post :o , no it was chris's fault, we were following him lol, plus he didnt have turini's & a cup spoiler like me & Peperami so he's already 45bhp down hence why he couldn't catch the pack :rasp: lol... was an ace night, i felt shot when i got to the petrol station & boy...

Nice work mate :cool: , any chance of some pics of your carbon fibre work?

Open the doors & slide the bump strips back towards the rear of the car.. with them removed you will be able to see the clips for the badges on the inside ;)
