^ god that's good. Had no idea till looked on youtube

not 32. I'd say it's a 30 from memory

Sadly it's the .86 turbine. But beggars can't be choosers. Hopefully the top end will be a little sweeter to make up for the extra bit of lag. I know you don't like the engines. But I can't work out why :dapprove:. Shame.....you were such a nice guy, and now this :dapprove: ;) My mechanical...

Thought I'd put up a thread and show people what I've been doing with my MK1 over the past few weeks. a little over a year ago, I'd recently changed from a MK1 Clio 1.8 16v to a Ph2172. I was unhappy with the way the 172 handled. The extra power was great, but I thought the ultimate grip was a...

you'll probably need a fitting kit or something from Ktec. Bolts will probably be no good for re-use. 182 is straight forward. 172 you can expect to bleed.

Matt, have you seen my mate petes polo? Runs a G40 K03 and did a 12.56 at Gti Springfest this year. Awesome awesome car. VTLYBk3a2rY

^ Imagine a VAG 1.8T with nearly every conceivable mod.....your on the right lines Awesome, didnt realise he had a berg cup kit for it. Love that.

agreed. It's awesome. Works as a virtual printer for windows that creates a PDF

lol. Did you just remove the back box?

:eek: the car is not widetracked? Nice engine btw :cool:

running issues are normally bad fueling (jerky and unresponsive) from cold. ECU will not always see an error.

Got to go do oil+coolant on a 1.2 16v MK2Ph2 Thought I'd start a thread with some useful information for people wanting to service their own cars and also to find out if there is a bleed plug on a 1.2 1.2 16v D4F Oil Capacity - 4.8 litres Oil - 10W40 or 5W40 Coolant capacity - ? around 5...

it's in the name.....M R 2

do you mean low compression turbo or low boost turbo? A low compression forged turbo setup is going to cost a LOT, and see figures as high as you want basically. A low pressure turbo kit would be cheaper and give more torque than the ITBs. As everyone is saying, it's got to be a personal...

nuff red there. as above though. Lovely thing

Thats a touch warm on the coolant mate! Nice project. Like the wheel colour

Cadwell always looks so much fun. great great driving. Some brave moments :D got does that GTR shift down the back straight

I loved the Karmann Ghia.

just another to add to the list of recent wheel failures. and....i am serious. Love the car but.... the wheels are wrong.

wow. That's the best condition paintwork i've seen on a red valver. Mines a J-reg too. No CAT required :D :D :D

Yes. It probably is

steady now. The CAT rattles. You sure this isnt exactly the same rattle that all 172 standard exhausts make? if so, it's definitely NOT the cat. I've got a 182 manifold and a decat pipe and it still rattles. It's the central silencer that does it. Winds me up a treat. No point in ever replacing...

steve79 breaking a 172 erm. can't think of anyone else. What's wrong with the exhaust? get someone just to weld the f*cker up? And the cat....has it failed an MOT on emissions? or has the cat just got a hole? Weld that up too depending on where it is?

nice. The under side could do with a little rub down and a spot of under seal. Also, you'd be lucky to get it through an MOT with the wheels out that wide surely?? Then again, loosing those wheels could mean a little less traction.....and if it's faster than a dax...... looks a great laugh

'dogleg' gear boxes or something arent they. Similar to the merc 190E cosworth.

pics required when you do it!

surely if they are that bad they could be custom machined? Would the rollers die of death if you just put a solid support in there?

not sure on the tracks mate. That's another for danny if I were you I'd get hunting for some 172 Ph2 items.

my ph2 172 has this. it'd work with a 172 widetrack on a MK1 but you'd need to support the new middle bearing somehow. It's bolted to the block on an F4R that WC.co.uk thread is an interesting read
