A good idea if you're having other work done and have engine out etc, but a lot of work for little gain on it's own imho.
Alright if you can fit it yourself mind.
It's a present for a freind of my sisters.
I'm sure I got mine from ebay for like £50!!
They said they wanted to get him a new lens to take pictures of his kids for "About 40-50 notes"
I said you'll be f**king struggling! lol!
I had mine on for about 5k miles and didn't see a light.
53 plate 172 btw.
I only got rid as I was selling the car but circumstances changed and I decided to keep her for a while.
I may get another one. ONce I've saved up for the AWT/Icarus inlet that is lol ;)
Ditto.
I have no idea how much gain in hp... but it was much keener to rev at the top end. Literally flew to the redline.
Also, on occasion it would chirp on a fast change from first to second in the dry. Simply never does this since I took the decat off.
I think Icarus (clever lad) told me the difference are mainly inlet manifolds, plenham and of course throttle actuation (DBW v's Cable).
He said that he treats them as being essentially the same engine.
The Mk3 Clio is by far the best in terms of build. Not saying it's German standard but it's pretty f**king good. Out of my 172, gf's Mk3 Clio and her current car (MINI Cooper) the Mk3 Clio was the most solid. Her MINI creaks as much as my 172.
I'm all out of medals.
The point is it uses an OEM replacement filter element, to fit a particular airbox. It's not an airbox/filter package designed from the ground up like maxogen. That's the point I was trying to make. Which you would have seen, were you not hellbent on trying to show off...
Proven?
Which ever one you choose it's much of a muchness in performance terms.
My 172 feels strnagled after I went from ITG Maxogen back to ITG panel filter though.
I know. But s**t like this really bugs me about this place. Someone says one thing and it immeadiately becomes gospel. It's like saying because my car has an ITG panel filter and no acoustic valve it's a homemade Maxogen. Load of b****cks.
Just gets on my tits. lol.
Anyway. Thumbs up for...
I hate the standards. I was even happier I got rid once Renault decided to put an identical 15" version of it on the boggo models lol.
And I'd like to point out I had Turinis before they became such a faux pas on here lol. :o
