    New Sport owner... What's with the steering wheel?

    not sure if its the same on the 172 as the 182 but the 182 has a + and - on one side for speed in cruise control and the R and O relate to R if you brake it turns it back on at the last speed i think and if you just turned it on for setting the speed, the O is for off. i have only used it once...

    hehehe Booked in for....

    when i added my decat to the 182 matched to a btb system it did deepen the tone a bit and i agree a little more boomey on the motorway, i didnt notice any change in my mpg. its a nice metalic sound (almost like i would expect a bmw m-series to sound like if they did a current 4pot one, a metalic...

    BTB Exhaust and what decat? Advice needed!

    yes im still running the btb and yozza decat, not a huge increase in noise i would say its now only as loud as some cars are with a cat back system which is really just what i wanted. dont bother with sport cat, you can get a 120cell i think but for the money v gains on a 182 i dont think they...

    BTB Exhaust and what decat? Advice needed!

    i have a btb system mate and i fitted a yozza decat last year and i was very impressed with the quality and fit, the very slight bend in it helps the tailpipes sit perfect. just get the car in the air, unbolt your cat and bolt in your new decat, i think i had to get a new universal exhaust...

    182 brake fade

    the 182 alloy wheel design isnt the best for cooling, well looked after std brakes are fine for normal driving but i have found them struggling and overheating once or twice (although hasten to add not 140mph antics just country road blasts) from what your saying you may need uprated items to...

    Strut braces all opinions welcome

    looking at the layout dont think they will do a lower brace, you could always buy a sumpguard ?

    Strut braces all opinions welcome

    had upper and lower on my old 106gti and i did feel a difference, but on the clio they seem pretty stiff and i dont fancy drilling and tapping so im not going to bother with front i have got a rear one in anthracite but to be honest the only diff that makes is that it sqeaks a bit with...

    To Decat or NOT to Decat ....

    yeah the orig cat is already a 200cell job so a sports cat may not make much diff, i have a yozza decat fitted had it on for about 5 months and love it, makes a nice sound with my btb system and my light has not come on yet. i bought a obd code reader for £10 to reset the light if it comes on...

    Convert BHP at the wheel into BHP at the fly

    i had a figure of 166 @ wheels once and the rr operator printed off two graphs the at wheel and fly wheel. they quoted a fly figure at 188.9 pinch of salt though all cars have diff loses and always arguements about accuracy of fly v wheel figures.

    Would a leaking inlet manifold gasket cause idle to go mad ?

    as above yeash it will, its air entering the engine thats not been measured by the air flow meter, i think i heard it called "dead air" once but thats prob just a local mechanic saying.

    Are yokey A539's really off the market??

    heard parada have some issues in the dry though under hard use ripping blocks of tread off. i used a539s for a few years and was happy with them for grip v price as for hunting around for old stock i would much rather get a new fresh tyre than some old rubber thats been lying around for 12 months.

    Good lord... Williams...

    would be good to know if original dimma ask him for a photo of vin plate? would still cost to much to return to something i would be seen behind the wheel off.

    3/4 front number plate?

    just get one with std font no borders or badge etc and as long as your rear is std you should be fine, had mine on for a while and no problems. its readble and quite subtle some on here dont like them as always its a matter of taste.

    i guess if your careful not to get it on the belt it may help the problem.
