I never thought I'd see the day that I'd be disappointed with a 2 meg bb connection. I need 8 meg. lol.

Christ! Your supposed to take it easy on a friday!!

Sometimes my 172 takes aaaaages to warm up. It certainly doesn't get fully warm in my 10 mile drive to work.

Or even compromise. ;)

I'd get a 340. It'll be plenty quick enough, is cheaper to buy and doesn't have the rediculous running costs.

Aahhh splendid. Just as god intended. Now for some engine mods. lol.

A completely standard 172. Woohoo!!

4bhp... massive..... hmmmm. I doubt very much you'd even notice a 4bhp increase. Are you sure it's not the noise giving a bit of a placebo effect?

It's a blanking plate. It seals the hole where the OE air feed was positioned and sels the area behind the headlight away from enigine heat.

The Maxogen has the 'proper' breather.

It's always going to be using a bit of juice... they always spark a little... more so when you drop a spanner across it. lol.

Centre section more than likely. Sounds like the early stages of the 4k rattle. The engine seems to have an in built resonance at 4k. My centre section had split.

The plug on the end of the loom that attatched to my original brake light was round. The connector on the cup brake light is square. Had to dismantle the plug, solder the wires to the Cup brake light nad fill the whole thing with silicone.

I just pulled min through abit more. I had to alter the wiring to get it to fit the Cup brake light.

There are pic here of a V6 spoiler on a non Vee.... Different colour, but should give you an idea. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=97406&highlight=v6+spoiler

Aaah I see. I'd like to take the credit for the idea but I can't Cli0172 was the originator. And I blatantly copied him. lol. The Bear had a twin 3" cut into his bumper on the same day I had mine done. Looked and sounded nice, but was a bit loud for him on the motorway!! Mine sits...

Or even one with 'Turbo' on it. lol. :clown: What do you mean by different?

That could be one of a thousand silver 172's on here with the Cup exterior bits, mine included. Still looks nice though fella. I'm always unsure about different spoilers. I don't like the V6 spoiler on the 172/182's - doesn't look like it fit's right to me. I have the Cup spoiler on mine...

Have you checked your coolant level? That's the easiest thing to check. Could be stat.. gunged pipes/ways etc scaled heater matrix or rad....

lol @ j3ned. Do I detect a hint of sarcasm in there?!. PMSL.

Good god. Be careful. lol.

Any national speed limit road will do.... you only need to get to about 60 in second gear..

lol... mine sits lovely when it's cold and to one side when it's warm. You just can't win.

Fins straight road. Put foot down in second and keep it planted. You'll soon see it.* *lagerlout accepts no responsibiility if you end up in a ditch trying to see the gearchange light.

Very nice. Exhaust looks a bit wonky though - love the tailpipes though.

Nice one Cyril.

Ben does know his stuff, no doubt. But the guy asked a genuine question out of genuine interest. I don't think it was an attempt to belittle Ben in anyway. As good as he is, nobody is above question. And lucky for us Ben is always happy to give an answer. :approve:

I can't see how you will get any noise increase with a panel filter in the standard airbox - it's sealed and your not changing any of the feeds to the box.

If you want noise, your not going to get it from a panel filter.

It happens every year a round this time. It's renaults way of making your dash look more Christmassy by adding a few pretty lights. lol. Seems like you got a bit of a friday afternoon car there mate. Unlucky.
