Silver 172 Outside Onestop South Road - cliosport sticker back window and a Trophy behind me at the lights at the Stewponey Between 6 and 7 this evening

Anybody any idea why I am only getting very hot air despite what temp i set my 02 plate 172 at? Any ideas grateful!

Both heading into Hagley Vee yesterday and 182 about 2ish today

Yes its metal and yes it bolts direct to cylinder head so it gets hot! Shall I just leave it with the heat paint as the final finish then?

I have just painted the cam cover on my westfield engine and I wondered is it okay to put clear laquer on parts that get very hot!

Does the mk1 have a vacuum control solenoid/acoustic valve like the mk2 172 that needs removing when fitting an induction kit?

In the instructions it says to remove/disconnect a vacuum control solenoid! Is this what people call the accoustic valve! Do you have to do this! Do you remove all old air feeds as I thought the kit hoooked up to one of the old feeds? If not does it just point down to the corner or do you...

That was me :)

HAd the same knocking and grinding noise under hard acceleration in first for a long time. Got a lot worse recently and its turned out to be the drivehaft gone

Thinking of there 2.5 inch system but wondered if it was loud!

Does anyone have a sound clip of the above on a 172.

About 8:30 ish...assume it was Jay?!

Yeah was in the red 172

Spotted tonight Hagley Road...female driver

YEah sounds like it must of been! Not like you see many around!

Ive got these mate http://www.broadbandcarrier.co.uk/panasonic_hd-plc.htm Never had a problem...would recommend them

Will do if I see u on road and think quick enough!

Saw a MK2 Vee at a petrol station on Hagley road Stourbridge tonight at about 5.10. Anyone on here?

told you there was a few about!

was prob at about 12ish...so maybe not you?! It was silver im sure

Think we went past a 172 on Hagley road this morning in my brothers car....female driver? Prob close to shell garage?

Yeah im Stourbridge mate...got a 172 Mk 1 in silver Brother also in S'bridge with a flame red 172 Mk2 So few of us about!

Silver 172 may have been me mate if it was a mk1

Any engine mods planned or are you keeping that a secret! Cant decide whether to do any engine mods to my Ph1 or not as I feel a want a bit more power or whether I should sell the car- its a tough call!

Christopher my dad has the 18s which are a much better ride in our opinion! Hows the new car going and how does it compare to your old 172?

The BMW is easily faster especially to 100 where it would destory the clio! Both awesome cars though my dad has an M3 identical to that one!

I am thinking of getting an inlet manifold match from Ben at angel works and wondered how much a remap would cost to suit this mod! I also have an exhaust and decat! Have people fitted the manifold themselves or do most get it done professionally? What would it cost to get it done at a garage?

Will a silenced one still be slightly louder than the standard cat then?

nice car mate! I have a westfield myself currently running a 155bhp crossflow but I am just finishing rebuilding a 2.0 vauxhall which should be running 200bhp! Brilliant cars and so much fun! Hope you enjoy!

Is it best to get silenced or unsilenced or is there no difference other than noise? Will a silenced decat still make the car a bit louder with my k-tec stealth as I feel it is a bit quiet!! Which is the best on the market or are they all similar?
