Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
I dont know to be honest? :S I dont want to sacrifice too much! I took the rear doorcards off at first and then put them back on beacuse it just looks a mess with them off! Im looking at removing the carpets, taking the sound deadening out then...

The earth side has black tape wrapped round it upto about 6 inches. I must admit on the pic it looks like there is 2 red cables and a black one but there is just 2 red cables, 1 has black tape on.

Just a few pics of what I have been upto on the car recently
Today I have smoothed the wiper hole cover (I still have to paint it black btw):
And heres some pics of the strippage:
Still retained a bit of luxary though:
The current...
Its probably wise tbh, itl be alot safer at 0.45 bar even if its slightly lower on power. Dannys restrictor size is different, when Paul put the same size restrictor as mine on Danny's car it was running 0.1 bar of boost! :S Even Paul was confused! So Danny's is running a bigger restrictor ring...

It was a mate, forget the name of his garage! Good chap though, knows what hes doing! Hes just built a mk4 astra van with a 3.0 v6 in the front driving the front wheels and another in the back driving the rear wheels! Then if that wasnt enough he...

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
Got the car back today :D
JC5-130 Trophy gearbox fitted with the bolt on diff instead of the circlip diff. Modification had to be done to fit the worm drive but nothin the local gearbox specialist and the local engineers cant solve! I also had my...
Boosted mini meet would be awesome!! And there aint alot of us about! only 5 I think, and one of them aint really a road car tbh! Just two of us with the RS Tuning conversion so far :D
Wait till you get boost increased Danny! :eek:
I should of let you have a blast in mine, although it would...
Ah I see! I think the gearbox specialist has sorted it today. He put a worm drive onto the 182 diff and drilled a hole in the casing for the cable as its the same cast as the worm drive casing with no hole apperently. Just waiting to hear confirmation thats its done! :D
Is mine one of them models seen as though it has ABS and diff pickup? So if the gearbox had been fitted, using clip my speedo would of worked? Would I of had to install any other parts for it to read off of the ABS?
It was registered on 06/06/2002.
I seriously hope the specialist can fit the worm drive to the 182 diff! Will save soooo much hassle!
If the final drive gear is a smaller ratio will this mean the revs will climb faster in 5th gear but not as much top speed? If its the larger ratio on the...
Does anyone know anywhere where I can find information on what ratios all the boxes run: cup, williams, trophy and std 172/182?
Im worried about this box! If the specialist cant use my worm drive and casing from my 172 box im screwed! Il have no choice but to install it and run the car with no...
Wish id of known this before I bought a box!
I was wondering if they all had the same ratios? Whats the best box for acceleration then? not fussed about top end! and whats the trophy box like ratio wise compared to my original box?
I have dropped the box off at a local specialist who has rebuilt my boxes in the past, hes going to have a look at it for me, he said his 80% sure it can be done, Guess il find out tomorrow! The casing from my 172 box is cracked but the side with the hole in for the cable is ok IIRC! I dont know...
My 172 diff is fooked aswell as my 172 casing - the diff went through it! So I cant use that! Would the worm drive off the 172 diff fit onto the 182 diff?
