none of the pics on that other thread would load up for me :-(
Does anyone know where you can buy new tubing? I cut mine down but now I want another go at routing it to the lower gril.
my left one seems to have gone dumb. It points pretty much straight down - well, about 3 or 4 meters infront of the car. Anyone else find its not level with the other one? Ive forgotten what theyre supposed to be like now!
Is the pipe on the 172 a lot bigger than the normal 1.4 model?
The exhaust I got doesnt say it will fit on my car but it quite clearly does....maybe the twin 3.5" ive got will go on yours too April?
Yeah its definitely a habbit youll want to get her out of! Damn dangerous at times. It kept happening to me as I ragged it away from the toll booths at the dartford tunnel.
I had that, just keep ragging it, it will loosen up! Mine would absolutley refuse to come out of first and go into second at those RPMs. Causes a few problems when youre no longer able to quickly dart infront of the car you were hoping to.... not only that, it makes you feel about this big -> .
See now, Ive taken mine off several times and where the magnex bit joins onto the cat, I dont have any sort of gasket at all! Its just metal on metal. I wonder if Elite forgot to put it back on for me?!
Youll need some paste for the centre section / backbox join. The two dont meet up all that...
Yeah its under where the bonnet release is. You cant miss it, its huge! Your alarm wires and the bonnet release cable should already be going through it.
Im not sure if anyone has fitted NOS to a Mk2 172 but if you have, any chance of seeing some pics of the engine bay and how it all fits together?!
Cheers!
I just read that the 5lb bottle will last 6-7 minutes on a 25jet system.
That goes very much against what BenR says about it lasting 25 seconds!
I would certainly upgrade to the 11lb bottle at the time of purchase.
Ok, this is an old thread but I just wondered how you turn the NOS system on? It says on the highpower website to not have it enabled when no fuel is going through - so do use it a the rev limiter, or I guess, when youre changing gear?
It all sounds a bit tricky to be racing someone, changing...
Mine used to stick in 2nd too at high revs - again, I agree, its damn annoying when youre trying to blast it away from someone!
Doesnt seen to do it much anymore now though - ive got 10k on the clock.
I ran it in nice and gently too! So I dont think its a trashing from day 1 problem.
The...
Cant someone add this item to the http://www.cliosport.net/paypal.asphttp://www.cliosport.net/paypal.asp page?!
Ive got $30 sitting in the account ready and waiting :)
Right, im gonna be testing that out in an hours time when I drive home from work!
People on the M25 had better watch out! ;-)
If anyone is on it and hears a hoover behind them, its probably just me with my Viper!
Ah you see now I always assumed this little kick down bit was like it is on automatic cars. Where they drop down a gear to give extra power when overtaking etc, I assumed (heard?) that on the 172, it goes to a pre-recorded air/fuel map and gives you maximum power.
I thought that was what...
Yeah that is the exact figure mine got a couple of days ago - well, the 188 bit anyway. I just used the standard airbox / filter.
I have the same exhaust as you too. :)
Well I must admit, I do kinda like the roar of the viper. Not only that, it seems a shame to have spent 200 odd quid on it and not actually have it in the car!
Im guessing the element supplied by BB Performance Tuning is the Green one? So out of the two (Pipercross and Green), which would you...
Now that I have my Dastek Unichip, Im thinking about having a rolling road session testing the standard airbox against one with an aftermarket element and then again against the viper.
Im not sure which (ones?!) to get in terms of aftermarket elements. So far I have only found these 2. Anyone...
