A good example of The Jesus' ITB's in a real life scenario.

Im happy with tuning the overall package of the 172 without having to spend alot of money and time on the engine to gain named gains.
I agree with Ben - the manufacturer has already...
He as hosted some good vids that I have seen. Maybe he should take it to the pod etc???
RR figures vary widely and are only true when you have done a mod in the same day and Dene a RR before and after.
Saying that when I had my VX on the rollers when it was std on the rollers it made std...
Fly readings are not worth sh1t - either a RR's TBH.
You can only RR an engine truly with it actually out of the car in a controlled environment.
Or do what Jesus does and 'test' it ;)
Yes our MGF Trophy 106 did the same the other day...Ive got the arduous task of cleaning out and WD40'ing the starter motor connections along with the ECU tomorrow.
Bloody hell tell me about it - half our bedroom has shelves full of the bugggers!!!!
I would argue with her, but she has seen how much I have already spent on [and I quote] "My cheap track day project"!!!!!
Doh!!!!
On a plus side I know of a garage who will do the outside only of the car...
I thought it would be a cheap project but its costing a fortune!
At least most things are done.
Next things are battery relocation and Mocal Oil Cooler.
I have had them on both my VX and 172 track ****.
They are well sought after by all VX220 owners who dont want R888's or A048's who have upgraded their rims to Speedlines [like me].
I went out in my VX with other exige/elise owners in the middle of January in pissing down rain - and the VX...
Very low I dont have the measurements as they ahve been in several positions since I fitted them.

Its the one thing that I had to rip out of the 172 at the earliest opportunity. The seats make you feel your driving a van!
What ever floats your boat, you may only have a 1.2 but the seats can be transfered accross to a 172/182 if the time comes ;)
If your shocks were on thier way out the ride will be softer, are you saying you are bobbing on bumps? Just sounds like hard suspension.
What mileage have they got on them?
