Last nite on my way home from a meet i heard a clonk halfway down a dual carriageway then i had a loud waring noise. I stayed in 4th as i was slowing anyway which was fine but wouldnt go into 3rd, Managed to home ok, Ive still got 1st gear but i couldnt select reverse! This morning been back to...

Sounded the nuts but as proved, it wont go round corners lol

Crazy, i thought my drivin was bad lol

Ive done it and personally i think its definately worth it. I noticed the pick up straight away especially mid range. Alot more torquy as well. Obviously it leaves you exposed as theres no longer a cat on ur car. Id had some port&polishing done beforehand so whether that had an impact on the...

Think it was featured in Fast Car a while back. Its Mike T,s?? Its some serious piece of kit. iirc the gearbox alone was 10k! lol

Thoses wheels so suit that car! If ur persuaded to remove them then let me know ;)

Yeah their cams package. Mine now fixed by GDI after many a f*ck up by someone else made 201bhp. Its a great mod that so many people have done and its definately worth it.

Strip it out, tell the misses to take the bus&slam it on its ar*e :rasp:

See these everyday parked at the back of the car park, must be workers- anybody off here?

i know this post is going to get a ribbing but i hit 150mph before when my car was standard ish. Going to Aldon Automotive for the Shitest ever rolling road day ever, about half 7 in the morning, completely dead stretch of road. Two other guys, Ballcrusher in his williams and another guy in a...

Or with 17s-

Yes they do do 40mm apex spring because i have them on mine. Im running with 172 mk1 15"s and its very low so i wouldnt do 60mm as i think you,ll be pushing it.

Whereabouts are you in the country?

Flat spot is quite common. Ihad one on mine between 3/4th where the car seemed completely lifeless. Could get a remap, may get rid of it

If you want a standard one try local scrappy, im thinking about one but front end is already seriously low as it is

Yes Dave 8k! Thats roughly how much bb tuning charged for their turbo conversion(notice i said CHARGED, as they now no longer operate as a workshop,just an online parts shop!). That is why i could never stretch to paying that much.

Yeah nice chaps until you try and tell them their wrong and thats when they turn nasty! ;)

No offence here, but is this the same dave that was driving a 1.2 around not so long ago?? Hope his not another subway lol Where did he pick this car up from, a main dealer trying to sell it on or private? Im sorry but your a little mad in the first place to pay the 8k for the turbo...

Point im trying to make is that a bb tuning graph is a mickey mouse one!!

Dont mean to p*ss on ur fire dave but id get it rolling roaed somewhere else just to confim ur power output because its a fact that bb tunings rollers are totally incorrect! But its a good bit of kit but id start pricing up all replacement parts for the engine as ive noticed from steve...

Needs to go the whole nine yards and add the SPORT badge ;)

Graham, go see the guy i did who is in Dartford, his a top bloke and has done a fantastic job with mine

As it says-"its what i was told by the previous owner" I know one thing, if i really wanted to sell a car claiming it had that much power id get it rolling roaded first!

Im 24 with 5yrs no claims, but 25 next month and insurance is due for renewal in june so im covering- lowered 40mm Decat Exhaust Filter Thats about it really. Only one bad thing about Greenlight was that i cant protect my ncb till im 25&im not covered to drive any other car on the policy...

This is with 40mm apex spring on 15" mk1 alloys

Some 172s have flat spots. Ive had one on mine between 3rd &4th where there just seems a total lack of power but i reckon a good remap could sort it. Mite be wrong but thats my pennies worth.

Mine is far from Standard and ive got everything covered on Greenlight ;)

Batman- Listen very carefully- call Greenlight Insurance on 01277 263 030 (cliosport discount, ask for Neil) Id like to bet theres a 95% chance they,ll beat Adrian Flux. These are the only two companies that have ever given me a decent quote on my 172. I went with Greenlight in the end because...

Yes id say. Wayne&Kathys car looks very different all stickered up ;)

Gotta say that looks the muts nuts ;)
