Surely if your "old mans mate" can get em at trade price he can speak to his contacts to find out the part number?

I know its not want you want to hear, but I can always tell a car thats been smoked in as soon as I open the door. Why do people feel the need to do it? When I was looking for my 172, I was put off two cars coz the previous owners had smoked. Cant they just wait til they finish their...

Im thinking about colour coding mine, can you get the decals from anyway to put back on after painting?

I just removed the two nuts off the top of the suspension arms, put the brace on and then tightened them back up. I think the reason for the "damage" as you put is because the turrents are slightly narrower than the collars on the brace hence the movement. I think had the turrents been a few...

I spoke to my old man about it last nite and what you mentioned before and he said that it was nothing to be concerned about. Hence mine is still fitted and has been for a couple of weeks now. Prolly done about 1500 miles since it was fitted. The squeaking seems to have settled down now too.

So come on Andy, what kind of money are we looking? Ball park, so we can start saving would be good :)

I spose the next question is "why?"

Im in Berserkshire :) I live in Reading and work in Maidenhead to be precise.

Yeah, I drove up to Liverpool over the weekend, and going thru the specs cameras on the M6 I based the 40mph limit on the b2, the car speedo said 45ish I think. Everyone was still zipping past hehe, heres hoping they get tickets.

oooh its in Reading, Ill try calling em tomorrow.

Nope, the 172 has stopped production.

Hot Shot Headers for the Nissan SR20 engines are about 400 inc shipping from the US and release between 10 and 15bhp iirc.

What do Hillpower do to the inlet manifold to release the power then? Do they just modify your existing one?

Superb, you sound suitably chuffed with it :) Congrats, at least it isnt the slower silver variety ;)

On jap cars, there is a big thing made about exhaust manifolds, and they can release some quite high figures. One particular brand, HotShot, make quite a few. So my questions is can you get any for the 172? Or is the exhaust manifold already that good that you cant gain any more?

Yeah, there have been a few people with this query.

I certainly wouldnt run it all day on 95RON, most run 172s on fuels in the following order of popularity:- Optimax (98 RON) BP Ultimate (97.6 RON) Superunleaded (97 RON) Unleaded (95 RON)

Yeah, get some pics up asap so we can compare the janspeed decat to the supersprint one.

better change the tezt under your name then ;) Enjoy it, as long as you grin every time you drive it, youll be sorted.

The short answer is yes.... However the parts are expensive from Reno, and hard to get hold of second hand. I think Liam_Dynamique was looking at doing it to his. Ive got a mk2 172 boot spoiler I am thinking of selling if it might be of any use to you?

Swhat Im waiting for before upgrading the headunit :) Read about it last month on a few of the american news sites.

Im toying with getting mine (I got Front and Rear too) bodycoloured in Flame Red. Might be a nice touch I reckon.

Nice, much better looking. It does look, more purposeful as you put it :)

10 bhp just from the cams? Blimey, surely thats a great way of increasing the power without making it obvious?

All you have to do tho is put three rubber gromets into the holes when you remove the strut brace and the average person would never know any different.

Got one here ready to fit, but like Fred said, you have to drill 3 holes in the top of each suspension turrent. Im considering getting them body coloured to match the car before fitting them.

I spoke to a tuning company and they were saying that they would be very wary about fitting a decat pipe now. They said that they have heard of a number of people getting stopped and emissions tested at the side of the road, and if the car fails, then it is impounded and the driver is fined etc...

How much is a 2003 172 spoiler worth? Im considering replacing it with the Renault "Double Spoiler" so to lighten the costs Id be selling the standard 172 spoiler.

Id go with NickyBs suggsestion
