Im another whos going down this route when ive got the money to fit the mainifold that ive got already. From thoses who have done it would you say its worth it??

Just over 4hours to go boys and girls ;)

I resently replaced the bushes in mine for the uprated ones k-tec sell and my car now feels 100% more solid when driving but when you first change them it will feel really weird like you can feel every movement and every knock but you soon get use to it. Highly Recomended ;)

ROTREX in Sweeden do a stand along kit which is £1200 A guy has done it to his 172 and its running around 250bhp For more details speak to a guy called Steve@Track n Road Performance who did the rolling road for it- 01708 869 189

So what did Mark Fish say then?? What magical things have you got lined up for it then? Turbocharger,Nos,Supercharger??

Im sorry some may disagree with me but id say 230bhp from jus exhaust&remap- Boll*cks!! Thats total crap id say, or has he used one of them Fisher Price rolling roads :rasp: I bet mine would probably perform better-even with the state of it after the shoddy cam work :eek:

LOL I dont think much could dent ur wallet ad. Stick it on your christmas list ;)

silver mk2 172 with blacked out windows??? anyone from here?

Yeah and while were all waiting my fingers are crossed that this saturday my lottery numbers will come up to buy these wonderful things :)

Plenty of sideways action but watch out for those lamp posts :rasp:

Listen to you!- now you,ve had your early christmas present and its a 3.0litre. Remember that just because its 1 litre more doesnt necasarily say that your going to wipe the floor with everything else on the road ;)

The law has been there for a few years but only recently have they started to clamp down on it. Funny thing is that local police dont give to sh*ts but its the traffic cops that bother you. They had a special gadget to test the light but they only use to have one per unit so you had to be lucky...

Must admit with the weather beginning to change nows not the best time id have chose for getting a beast like that but i sure if you take it STEADY your be alright. I must say though,i like them much better in blue-theres one in Brentwood and the presence of it when its coming up the road...

Jus red the first page of this. Totally feel for you as the same thing happened to me a couple of years ago. Your tend to find your be ok until that are bored. Unluck for me my tug for my tints was when i was leaving the n.e.c in Birmingham on my way out of Max power live. The cops were...

mmm - taking bets now on how long it is before he crashes it! lol

Fantastic sound from them TBs. Definately something i should consider one day when funds allow

Shaun- i know of someone who has supercharged a 172 and is running about 250bhp. Via Track n, road performance in Rainham,Essex they told me a guy bought a stand along supercharger from a company in Sweeden called Rotrex(think thats how its spelt).

Think Santa Pod is all done for the year now but starts up again in a few months. Dont forget JohnC did a 14.2 iirc @Santa Pod this year in his cup!

Quickest ive done was a 14.7 thats with dodgy cams. Also custom exhaust,filter,decat, 15"alloys(makes a big difference i think) especially on excelleration.

I took the 197 out at my local renault garge in Essex& to be honest although i felt more comfortable i wasnt overly impressed and the dealer was a mate of mine so i let him take my car out and he came back saying he liked mine better and it felt quicker.

Ive been thinking about this alot. With my old 1.2 i had 205 tyres and flying round corners was really comfortable as the car seem to glide around roundabouts where now with my 172 ive got 195,s and it doesnt feel as realiable as before and instead of thinking the cars going to glide im worrying...

So the decat pipe wont go back in once the 182 manifold has been fitted? So you just make up a piece to join the back of the exhaust to the manifold? I did notice the lamba sensor lead connection on the manifold.

?????

I was just wondering from thoses who have done it, how much did it cost and whereabouts are they based? Ive got a price from another guy off here of £200 roughly but was told Both flanges on the manifold have been cut off and just welded together. I was hoping for a neat joint so if needs be...

lol yeah i stopped to have a butchers. Dont see many cups round my way.

Yes 1 annoying thing about this model is that allthought they come with automatic headlights u still have to actually turn the lights on the stalk to get the flasher to work as well as the headlight washer jets! :mad:

thats one of the sensors isnt it, if i remember right that came up on the list last time when a diagnostic check was done.

Ive got a problem when i floor it the car goes into safety mode where the revs drop to about 2k and i cant accelaerate?(the dash light right in the centre comes on-possibly coil light?) Im having to turn off the engine and switch back on. Any ideas what could cause it? Is it a sensor issue or...
