ttiuwp...... anyway all is forgiven. you shouldnt cut the springs, its not clever and has been said before illegal.

I agree, the weight saving is noticeable when a 172 and 172 cup are up against each other.

are you a girl?

How many times did it take for you to pass your driving test?;)

I'm not new.lol. But old, very old.......when the forum was much easier on the eyes. Lucky to still be a member, so thought I would say howdy. :race:

subtle.lol.

did you ask them about cutting the springs, or parking the car in a freezer?

I'm about to do all mine too. I still have warranty till next month, should i try my luck?

demon tweeks?

wastegate chatter is caused when the wastegate doesnt open enough to release boost pressure when throttle is closed(when boost is set really high). This is how I understand it. It's not a good thing and can reduce the life of the turbo due to the extra stress.

lol. I see loads of sports round here, non of them club members though. I think the guy i spotted was trying to race me as I overtook him.lol. poor bloke now thinks he has a slow one. :lolup:

Where can i get one of these. Do they do them for petrol cars?

Well if you have already told your insurer then you better put the standard ones back on.

I think you should use elastic bands wrapped round the springs.

oh dear.

Nope. I never used them when i had coilovers.

Blue 172. Followed you down the salisbury road, I was driving like a t**t as usual.lol.;)

Never mind.lol. Thought you could bolt them in place. Tapping is just putting a thread into the hole you drilled,so that you can screw in a bolt.

What would be the best place to fit, what size and what fittings are they please? I was thinking of running along the oil feed line to the turbo, as i would only have to buy one extra hose then.:)

lol. did you tap the holes?;)

which nuts? they are all different sizes. Any decent fixing supplier can get stainless.

Not an easy fit. You would have to intercept the signal sent by the throttle pedal. Then using closed loop feedback you can control the speed of the vehicle, by comparing actual speed to desired speed. That is if you have a Fly By wire throttle.

Yep easy to remove and clean. As said, it just needs a few things removing to ge to it. Airbox mainly.

Should have bought a quick car, but you'll still enjoy it.:approve:

I can get machine shop rates at £20 an hour.:) Crank shouldnt cost too much.lol.

what would actually need uprating engine wise? If I ever rebuild mine I will be making it stronger.:evil: I'm still new to all this so still learning.

Get a turbo, I've just upped the boost to 12psi and fook me this thing gives you a kick in the back. Great for overtaking manouvers. The trophy would be a good choice if you want a car that can handle well, who needs acceleration if you never have to slow down.:) The V6 is apparently not as...

Let me say 1.5 bar seems like alot. Mine is currently set at 13psi, good enough for around 300bhp. My conversion can be set at 1 bar for 320bhp, but is really reaching the limit of the engine. I personally havent seen any 2.0 clio engines much higher than 300bhp. Also, make sure you sort the...

£42 a tank, v-power gets me 300 miles. This is the journey to and from my moms. About 30 miles of that towny sort of driving, and 270 all motorway. Not bad eh???;) I can get to around a 1/4 of that if I drive like i stole it.
