Yeah agreed im just concerned that the 2mm ones might start to make fitting an issue.

2mm would definately increase the insulation performance but I think the increase in perforamnce between 1mm and 2mm will be nothing compared to the initial performance increase from having a 1mm gasket over the stock solution.

I think 1mm would be fine all your trying to eliminate is metal to matal contact. Although if fitment is not impaired with 2mm then I can't see the extra thickness being a bad thing. I suppose it depends on what fits and what people are willing to pay.

did you ever find out how to do this?

Sounds a good idea. How much was it to get set-up?

After looking a reciepts more closly it seems the catylst could possibly be the original one that came with the car so its done 6 years. From the new cat I have they dont seem particually restictive. I dont know if ill ever get round to changing it for a sports cat.

Was behind this car about 5.50pm today. Couldn't see what shade of silver it was as it was very dirty and the light was too bad!!!

Have just tried opening the bonnet when the car is locked and an alarm does go off. Is there much pouint in reconnecting the ultrasonics as I think they might cause more trouble than they are worth.

As thin as possible. Would 1mm be too thin? What about making one up for the rear plenum connection also?

nah too much of a pain come mot time

After thinking about this surely the whole thing would be a pointless excercise as the intake manifold curves over the top of the engine?!?!

ah ok i didn't realise that!! Thanks for the help wish i had the money for a sports cat

I have just sourced a brand new renault dual chamber cat from ebay as the one on my car has developed a hole seems to have been changed about 3 years ago from receipts that came with the car but its rusted through already. Was thinking of treating the new cat with some high temp paint to give...

I have a mk1 172 and can see the benefits from this but I dont think its worth 35 pounds. As a student of engineering I dont see the need for the gasket to be 3mm thick as PTFE would hardly conduct significant heat at much smaller thicknesses as long as no metal parts were touching.

The alarm led flashes and if i lock the car with the door open a long never ending beep comes from the car like a fire alarm. So I assume the alarm is connected.

Anyone on here? I was in an AudioSoft van?!?!?

what a car......

Yeah its hooked up to the steering wheel remote via an adapter.

I use the standard car remote with an adapter into the back of the headunit. It works very well. I looked at that alpine unit. There was a reason why i didnt get it but that's escaped me now. Just read some reviews on it. I think it's down on quite a few features that I was after but it might...

I have the Pioneer DEH-P7900UB which is very similar but without the BT and it has a usb connection instead of just an ipod connection which means I can connect a usb harddrive or an ipod to it. Ive heard the BT built into the pioneers can be a bit ropey but you would have to do a search in...

Says the man driving a FWD 225 F1!?!?

If you mean Xeon bulbs they sell in halfords then yes they will work as i have some. I dont think Xeon Filament bulbs will work though. I do recommend the xeon gas filled bulbs you can get as they improve your visabilty allot plus they burn white which looks better imo. I got a xeon set from...

Was just cable tying a wiring loom up under the glove box when i notcied a neatly wrapped wire with a connector on the end of it (not connected to anything). It took a matter of minutes to trace it back to the ultrasonic sensor thats on the A-pillar which explains why I have never been able to...

My point exactly i wasn't having a go with my earlier post i was just merly stating whats the point of arguing about things that don't particually matter. As long as you enjoy yourself driving your car who cares?!? To me a clio sport is a fun car to drive i know its not the best/ fastest/ best...

Having been lucky enough to have driven a BMW M6 and a BMW M635csi I can easily say that RWD makes for a better overall driving experiance. However I would say that comparing FWD and RWD too one another is pointless as both sorts of cars have different handling charcteristics and both when...

See this car almost everyday on the way to and from work. It was behind me for most of the 417 from about 5.40 today.

im almost 99% sure they would fit as the vivaro is actually made by renualt

Cool. I cant see improvements over the standard PH1 172 box being worth the hassle of buying and changing the box. Unless anybody thinks otherwise??

The one 100mm inlet definately seems to offer a slight increase in air flow is the box any bigger then standard? Would love to know if this is worth doing over a standard PH1 172 box.

I have got an itg filter and better free flowing air pipes that I have done from the guides section of the forum. Can I assume it would be a waste of money purchasing a Cup racer airbox to replace the 2 tubes with 1 larger one. I would expect performance increases to be next to nothing but...
