Change of plan, messy and I will be there :)

Jebus! Hows does that even roll!!??

Re: Project 172 **** ITB'S - 204bhp *** February Redline Feature Best off heat cycling properly mate asap, that can draw the best of out any braking system.

Hi, have just seen this. Really no point in asking an open question on a forum like this, if you want our help fire us an email / give us a call. A blowing exhaust will be nothing to do with the service work we carried out. I didn't carry out the service in question so it will have been James...

Positives. - The handling, power delivery, grip and immense pace it can carry through bends. - The sheer fun of driving it. - The fact it can outperform a vast array of significantly more expensive cars. - The MPG when pottering. - General running costs and ease of maintenance. - Subtle...

Too much work on for me I'm afraid, going to be the same for the next 4 weeks I think :(

Knew you would buy it ;)

Will have a look at work, may be able to make an appearance - £35.00 is frankly absurd for a track day, even if it is a small one!

Rain. Separating the men from the boys since tarmac was invented. Now I want to come ;)

We're only down the road, there is a good crowd of guys around these parts :) My business partner James loves his bikes too - bring it to a meet :)

The 197 manifold in theory will 'rock' the power/torque delivery towards the top end of the RPM range. This will more than likely cause the bottom end of the RPM range to suffer, in return for higher peak power at the top end. The attack angle of the TB would also allows the manifold to deliver...

Just a little subtle something

Lovely little 172, be seeing it soon :)

Love the workshop :rasp:

As I said on the phone to you mate, only so far you can get throwing parts at it - get it on diagnostics to see what the fault code is :)

Re: WUT The definition of torque.

Not a comparison you can make Ed, it completely changes the power delivery midrange, in some places we gained where troughs existed before and vice versa. With proper mapping we'll be able to tell for sure. edit. beaten to it.

Good work, now get the car over to us so we can finish what we started ;)

2118.

I'd be wary.

Terrible news danny, only saw you a couple of hours before!! I have had a fire extinguisher in the back of my car ever since seeing an ITB Clio car burn to the ground at Snet (I think you were there Danny) as it makes the difference between a small fire and total loss. Hope you managed to get it...

I disagree matey, you can do some really nice things with the near standard cars without spending a fortune.

Its PS not bhp ;) Cat, Manifold, 'RS' inlets, ECU software & cal, just to name a few. Nope, totally fine for MOT. 172's have 4-1 mani, 182's have 4-2-1 mani. I have a graph of how a 182 mani effects a 172 when fitted with a before and after somewhere - I'll try and dig it out.

We have a 182 & a 172, both of which we gladly take people out in day to day, at meets or on trackdays to help people make up their own mind. Unfortunately we do not have the posh insurance (yet) where anyone can drive the company cars. :(

Drive or be driven in a car with the work done. That way you can always make up your mind if it is really worth your heard earned pounds.

Not yet ;) Just a note, but your not hitting the limiter there are you? Never a good idea if the engine is not under load.

lol your not wrong. 150bhp ATW = 180ish ATF Mistype fail on my part.

IIRC ;)

About right. The last 5 182's we have carried the complete works out on have RR'd before at anything between 160 - 172 ATW, ended up at 180-183 afterward. You can't put an exact figure on it as every car is different. Its not all about peak figures though. Low RPM output see great improvements...

A huge waste of money in my opinion. Stick with a recessed single exit exhaust of some sort if you want it visible, with a 182 style surround to tidy it up :)
