desmondo get them to ring tonk_172s dealership. They should serve everyone the same

1.2 box in a valver would be intresting!

50% after 3 years is about average, wouldnt say 172s have bad depreciation really unless your looking at list proce of 14k but who pays 14k for one?

probably about 180 ish give ot rake. 172 is a b**ch to tune. Biggest gains weve seen on rollers come from decats combined with straight through zorsts.

arent they just adonised? Wont the finish come off after first use? PS Sunday times? WTF? They must have run out of observers jon! I like the observer cos it lasts till Wednesday ;)

I think with original wheels its worthwhile getting them professionally done as they will make the car look the nutz. Kerbing can be done for about £25 a wheel (I got chips away to do mine) or a full refurb for ABOUT £50 a wheel. I think its worth it tho as good condition standard alloys on...

mines had about 2 litres in 9000 miles!

Was hoping to have it fitted today but Ive rung larkespeed who I ordered it from last week and they need to chase it up with Janspeed on Monday :( so no decat for me this week. Will hopefully have it on next weekend! Anyone else had similar trouble getting parts mail order?

its the same engine in 182, higher output is got from breathing mods as far as I know so any changes on the 182 from standard spec will get less results. Itll be iontresting to get some modded ones on the rollers.

nope as far as I know its lump sum only. If they do allow monthly payments I think it bumps the premium up (check on that tho cos its ages since Ive been on their site)

whats the most sought after?

I think the same as I do about cups. Its the same car FFS! dont go in for all this inter model bitching. Its the same car with a different zorst and twin pipes. Its a top motor just like the 172.End of.

This might have been posted already but on the shot of the clio in the tunnel (from the rear) you see the 182 tailpipes but you can see that the car is running on 172 wheels. Obviously they have just cgid the pipes on afterwards (tight arses!)

Just mix some oil with thinners thats all the piper X oil is.

the standard air feed on the 172 is good so a replacement panel filter would be as good as an IK performance wise. If you want nice induction noise I can reccomend pipercross open induction. Sounds lush.

put it on and if it does your nut hust take it off and use it to collect rainwater or summat :)

At least hillpower got a car within 50 miles of a rolling road! Rolling roads are like kryptonite to LAD lol

I bet they are on first name terms.

*shakes head at running in* Its bench tested. THRASH IT!!
