the 182 cat is more free flowing than the 172 cat, so I'm not sure you'd gain much from getting a high-flow cat.
Induction kit really needs to be enclosed, especially if your in oz. Scorchio!
Dont think there's many 172's run on 15's day to day, a few run 15's for track day's, but I cant remember whether its because the rubber is cheaper or performance is better.. do a search, there's bound to be something on here..
are they having a laugh? I know a 172 isn't a 1000bhp car, but to say it doesn't generate enough power to warrant a 63mm bore is b0ll0cks!
As said earlier in the thread, a 1.6 engine has a larger bore as standard.
Your poor car is being strangled.
A civic type R was on car Wars last night, they got that back after it had been jacked after about 10 mins.. no damge to it, recovered thanks to tracker.. seems a good idea after last nights telly watching.

tracker retrieve £199 + £100 installation + annual subscription £109 = £408
Dunno whether they're any good, had a flyer through the post the other day...
Some insurance companies lump an aftermarket exhaust upgrade under the category "exhaust & manifold" section.. so that pretty much covers the lot...
If you find a friendly MOT tester, it'll pass no problem..
If you're not tempted at all by the lower of the Eibach springs, then upgrade the shocks (Koni are favourite on here).. it should help you with the leaning your getting in corners.. are we talking on road here or track?
best thing would've been to have it RR before the mods, then you would've found out how much you'd gained...
as said above, they're good gains from what you've had done..
