Just been on the yozza website, saw a pair of original filters for £8, thought that was a right steel deal.. until i added postage in the cart, £18 total, are they havin a laugh :dapprove:

Just been down camberely auto factors & picked up an oil filter for my 172, looks identical to the eye & was the one on the sytem so hopefully will be a straight swap.. but before i do the oil change just thought i would ask, is it normally okay to use after market oil filters or would you guys...

Erm bit off subject, drrollo your filter is in the post mate ;)

call it what you may... i own a 172FF :rasp: lol

dammm :( .. thanks for the reply.. would rather wait than burn through it as you say.. guess it will just have to do as it is untill next week

Caister, what map do you run & what mod's have you got mate? Also what diffrences did you find between the 98ron & group n?

So there is room for improvment on my basic mods :D , is the map you hade made based on the group n then mate? may just load that up & see how it runs

Thing is though mate for £140 you can also do performance checks on the car, find out whats wrong if some thing doesn't feel right & you'll have £150+left over compared to the k-tec map, but i under stand what you mean, things could go wrong then £300 could seem very cheap compared to a new engine

May go group n then :cool: , is there a guide line for the 98ron & group n for what mods your running? de-cat is on the list of too do's this month, also this 10 journeys to let the ecu learn, will there be no improvement untill say 8-10 th journey?

Well last weekend i used the g220 for the first time, well impressed & so easy to use :D , so first to be done was a play with the spoiler that i painted on my old 1.2 about 8 months ago, came up great & made it so smooth & slick, i assume over spray was the cause of the loss of gloss, never...

Oredered mine thursday last week, hopefully be here tomorrow :approve: .. still dont know if to go group n or 98ron though.. will the group n be over kill for an itg pannel filter & powerflow exhaust?

I got a black bee sting for sale, less than a month old.. £6 posted & have a rich brook brushed ali one with allen key screws to prevent easy theft for £8 posted... pm me if your interested ;) James

So is this just 2 straight through silencers? if so think i'll get one to shut the power flow up, just dont wanna loose power if there not straight through silencers

if you get one let me know how it goes please mate, power flow is alrite now but think de-cat could make it too noisey

Or get 5l of 5w40 fully syn halfords brand & get a halfords pro socket set free :D , check my post in the engine section ;)

I heard that 2" is the best size for the 172's, providing thats throught the silencers

No suggestions for me on how to go about bending the hangers guys?

So should i just drop the 5l bottle in then hope it reads good on the dip stick? also how much are filters from the dealers or am i better of buying one from some where like camberely auto factors?

They look fairly thick, i assume this is going to be no easy task right? gotta any tips?

Moving forward with getting my 172 how i want the next thing on my list is the exhaust, basically came with the car & dont want to spend £200+ on a new one as this looks in good nick.. but it hangs about 2" too low as you can see in the pick :( previous owner made the cut & i can lift it by hand...

Dont think so mate, tried looking a few weeks back myself, may be wrong though :S , currently use my old 1.2 for body fittings etc as it all seems the same, just engine & electrics are the thing that will catch me out

How much oil should the 172 take when the oil filter has been changed too?

Mine was exaclty the same.. until new plugs :D... runs sweeeet now ;) , been told there ment to be good for 72,000 but mine were fudged at 52,000 :dapprove:

Really happy with it for that price.. although if the engine f***s up i may have diffrent thoughts.. although atleast i'll have a socket set to remove the old engine lol

Will get a pick for you mate, 2 secs, i think its ace for free :approve:

Just been to halfords, got fully syn 5w40, & the free socket set, thought it was only going to be a cheap shite one but its a halfords pro range :cool: , so £32 for 5l of oil & a socket set ;)

New plugs & itg filter installed... Runs sooo much better :D , Idle souns alot healthy when cold, main improvment is low rpm torque although this could be due to installing the new itg pannel filter, car just feels so much more responsive.. RStuner kit next, yea baby yea!!... & the spending...

Since your not making these mate any chance of a little info on how to make them or even what i would need? really fancy havin the dial surrounds done :)

Cool, will get down there & get some then :cool: saves me £15 ;)

Just been down to halfords to look at some new oil for the 172, was gonna go with some thing like mobil 1 for £50 but then halfords own brand caught my eye, not only is it £32 for 5litres of 5w30 fully synthetic that meets the specs of bmw & merc but they are throwing in a socket set worht £35...
