    what wheels for sprinting?

    surely steel would be heavier then alloys? or maybe not? :)

    what wheels for sprinting?

    Hi Guys I have searched, but nothing conclusive. I am after some recommendations for wheels for sprinting. I have 16 inch Turinis with proxes on at the minute. I want to swap them for 15's and want better tyres anyway. I like the look of the pro race 1.2. Are any of the wheels better then...

    Project 172 cup, sprinting one day??

    Yeah no they didnt do a power run as i developed a problem which they diagnosed as the TB. That wasnt there fault at all, just sods law! But the chap told me he was sure it had never been mapped. He said he was pretty sure it didnt have cams, and the best bit that it would be 160bhp. He had...

    Project 172 cup, sprinting one day??

    fitted the PMS short shifter from the group buy earlier! WOW! what a difference!! im not sure how juch shorter it is but definitely feels shorter, the main thing is how precise it is, it was hard going into gear before and I had to double check it was in sometimes, not its perfect, works great...

    Project 172 cup, sprinting one day??

    So I went to GR Performance today in Mexborough, they specialize in evos and Jap cars but it was only for a power run and AFR check. the car made 190BHP, was really happy with the run. I mentioned the old plugs and they said to get either a new set of injectors or have them all flow tested. at...

    Well the 3rd clyinder from left to right (no 2 then?) the spark plug was pure black. Is there a way to test flow rates just by plugging it in?

    Project 172 cup, sprinting one day??

    think I have them the wrong way round them? I am sure the gearbox is on the right of the engine as i look at it from the front of the car. Just been out and done 15 miles in stopo start and some foot down and its ran 100% perfect, yet I have done nothing from when it ran like shite this morning.

    Project 172 cup, sprinting one day??

    well set off to RS tuning and the car died a few times this morning before I had even set off. Called at my mates to pick his fault reader up, no stored codes. Set off to Leeds, got 5 miles in and had to pull over, in limp mode, electrical fault light, and engine check light. fault code was...

    Project 172 cup, sprinting one day??

    This was my spark plugs that I removed. I dont know if cylinders are numbered like this but, standing looking at the engine bay from the front of the car, left being 1 then 2 3 4 etc. Number 3 is very black?! and the shaft is very oxidized or weathered too? could this be a dodgy injector? I...

    Project 172 cup, sprinting one day??

    I have noticed that the cars revs are bleeding terrible! it jumps from 600-1k all the time, the odd time on full lock when really slow, parking etc, it has cut out! today it started cutting out all the time, stopping in traffic etc etc. I did a search on here and facebook and google and saw...

    Project 172 cup, sprinting one day??

    I found a fresly powder coated fuel rail guard on ebay, purchased it but when I went to fit it yesterday I realized one of the bolts was snapped. You can just make it out in the above photo the left one is missing. I went into the tool room, found a long piece of M8 thread, found a decent...

    Project 172 cup, sprinting one day??

    I know this thread and my car will probably seem a bit s**t, but when I look at so many amazing threads on here they normally start the same with a standardish car etc. My aim is to eventually move into sprinting as a road modified and then after that fully modified with cage etc. So I...

    Clutch Pedal Is Very Hard

    not 100% sure what cams as the work was already done to be honest, it was in the twisties with small straights in between, speed was prob between 40-130mph up and down. I could of no way overtook him, my car wasn't faster, I am not saying that, but he expected to put his foot down and after 3-4...

    Clutch Pedal Is Very Hard

    Strange rotational scraping noise

    I had exactly the same, though it got louder with speed. I had only had the car 2days and was thinking wtf is this! Turns out the wheel nuts were loose on 3 of them, finger tight, that wasnt the problem though, the brake disk screw was not even finger tight and 1/2 a mm undone causing the disk...
