    172 driveshaft

    They're the same length. I'm guessing the replacement shaft was a used one.

    George's TURBO 182

    At least the beer is still £1 a pint there

    Nice progress :D

    Trip to RS tuning (phase 1 p**n content)

    Good stuff :) Spax are notsocheap rubbish, the difference in technology and quality is massive yet the price difference isn't! I still need to do mine too, it'll have to wait until after my holiday though. Just over 6 weeks until the RS day at Oulton.

    Exhaust for power

    You'll have the RS192 fitted then. You can run two tailpipes off one central silencer at the back and you won't need a centre silencer. The standard cat is a sports cat but the olive joint is a restriction so you can do the sleeve mod to be rid of that.

    Experience with police?

    Been pulled once. He spoke to me like I had just s**t on his doorstep despite me being polite.

    Something like a single box oreca or yozza

    Tyres for track use

    I've had normal 595 and the RSR. The difference is night and day. RSR are good, normal 595 are not

    do different wheels affect brake fade?

    g172 can help you out as our resident brake man.

    do different wheels affect brake fade?

    Mintex 1144 aren't all that. I get my ds2500 fading on the road (but not so much on track as you carry more speed.) Better pads are the answer. You could try Yellowstuff as a budget offering, £65 for a set of them. Anything else costs 2-4x that.

    197 cams in a 172 cup

    As chip said they only gain about 8bhp. Iirc from Mike's graph they lost a little torque and the bhp gains were only at the very top end. If you're going to go to the hassle of doing a cam swap then fit the best you can for the budget. I'd go for 421 over the 438, they're £600 new and very...

    vvti delete

    Unless you're going to take the engine apart for forged pistons catcams 421 are the best option. May as well keep the vvt too.

    I can see that working, for a short while at lease!

    My Clio project (8500rpm + boost)

    As long as it doesn't end too badly its all good fun! Do you need any more lessons or is that going to be the last lol

    Front ARB - How on earth!

    I cheated, used longer bolts and left them in place :)

    My Clio project (8500rpm + boost)

    I too have been caught out by a dry track and damp kerb. Lodge corner at Oulton, I did a 180 but it was back onto the track so kept it on the tarmac. I've never been at maximum attack since!

    Annoying drone / Humming Noise from the front 172

    They shouldn't be noisy yet then. It could be the drive shaft centre bearing. Does the noise change with speed or rpm at all?

    Annoying drone / Humming Noise from the front 172

    What tyres have you got, how old are they and how much tread have they got left?

    SADEV SEQUENTIAL OR A DOG BOX REQUIRED FOR 182 RALLY CAR

    Ideally you'd want a full cup racer Sadev setup. They go for around £3-4k used iirc

    -1 for white. PITA to look after

    ph1 172 cup

    It's come on well. Have you got an adjuster for the epas to vary the assistance? I'd take it to DTM or RS Tuning for a remap, you'll get more out of it than the RS Tuner. It'll also give you a better idea of how it's running.

    The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy

    Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6] The one I linked to is the same one I'm running, it cools well enough on the hottest days and on track. The best part is its only £25 and it works perfectly. You can get off the shelf all alloy versions of the same size but with a thicker...

    Leak from driveshaft

    Seal not seated correctly or tightened up? The only way for it to leak is if the seal isn't functioning correctly.
