Whoever said carbs will give you more is very wrong. I've had bike carbs before, they're great. But bodies are the next level. You probably won't be able to mot it either due to emissions.

I'd be filing a case against them.

It'll be awesome when you do though :D

Cheers guys. It goes well, I'm looking forward to using it in anger now. I'll probably do Anglesey for the first track day.

It's a cheapy Toyosports one, £20 posted on eBay.

Re: Ph1 172 Driving normally it's quieter than the induction kit I had believe it or not! On full chat it roars like a goodun! Tempted to decat it once the mot is done for a bit more exhaust noise as the exhaust isn't very loud. Although the wife might have something to say about that, she...

Re: Ph1 172 Done the graph overlays so you can see the before and after, the standard inlet give a big peak in the midrange so I'm losing out around 4500 and 5000 but above that I'm gaining quite a bit. I can feel it too, it doesn't have the kick it had at 4.5k but it feels much quicker overall...

Re: Ph1 172 Yes, it's making the figures it should :) and more importantly, compression is all good and the injector is sorted. Ready to go for this year now! Good, I need to do a stronger return spring, so the revs drop quicker but other than that it's great. Definitely quicker than it was...

Re: Ph1 172 Previous power was 152 at the wheels (dyno dynamics corrected it to 184 at the fly). It is now 171 at the wheels, so using the same factor for losses that's 207 at the fly. I'm going to overlay graphs later :)

Re: Ph1 172 No problem Stephen. Brembo do a drawing :)

Re: Ph1 172 I bought a pair of brand new complete shafts from Renault

Re: Ph1 172 From 2001 on. It depends on the model. Only thing worth noting is the spigot is 64mm so will need a ring knocking up. Otherwise they have a height of 44mm like the Clio discs and are 4x100

What work do you need doing?

It'll be perfect with the ph1 strips back on!

Re: Ph1 172 294 x 22mm Mini Cooper S Slept like a baby Scott! Had trouble getting out if bed, I hit snooze for 40 minutes!

Re: Ph1 172 Went in for mapping this morning but injector number 1 was knackered so ECP came to the rescue with a new one and mapping is going to start soon. Did a leakdown test and all was well so fingers crossed now for some decent numbers!

Have you considered Avo? They do a kit which is monotube front and twin tube rear, all height and damping adjustable.

Used a .cal fIle on my ph1. It worked well and didn't need a .rst file.

Ok :) thanks Dan

Re: Ph1 172 Did some tinkering today. Took an angle grinder to a 4 pot calliper then tried it in place. So next step is to machine it down properly and convert it to radial mount then decide on discs and makes some brackets. Also got a couple of pics to show how it sits now with the cup...

I took it out and I couldn't really make anything out from looking at it. But I blew a bit of air through it and it only came out of the top holes, not the middle or bottom ones.

You might have pinched the seal perhaps. Maybe need a new one, they're only around £3-4 from Renault.

Ahh, when I saw 182 being different to 172 I assumed they would be for the cup pack. You could always swap to non-cup front hubs. Cheap enough!

Larkspeed is cheapest. Get the rears and leave them on soft. Then get the fronts when you've got the cooksports. I run the same setup, it's great!

Koni yellow rears you want.

I'm tempted by the rear black bushes. Look forward to see how you get on with them.

Extra width (and thus camber) comes from the subframe. Extra caster comes from the wishbones. Eibach sportlines will most likely give the drop you want. As for shocks the 172 cup was a bit light than the 182 cup so whether the damping is greater in the 182 or not I don't know... The choices...

They're made from blanks which is good and they are the same profile as the catcams 428. Nothing amazing but a bit better than standard.

Looks great! Tidied that up a treat. The Williams wheels should stay. Not keen on the aerial though

Re: Road/Track 172 Looks well, how did it perform and how do you find the roll centre kit?
