    Looks like it fits like a glove- wonder where from now, (I will checkout what details you've given) and how much is expensive? Crap colour mind LOL

    BTB Exhaust Sportscat

    When you say standard 172 Cat, its not a phase 1 as that's a double barrell affair I think? You mean a phase 2 standard cat? Your right- the Sportscats are well pricey- some more than the motor cost! Maybe a decat methinks- then what to do at MOT time

    Attending FCS recently, Clio loved the track for couple hours Took a hint from someone on here and drop the power steering fluid, as last time I went round it seemed to let itself loose all over the engine bay Anyway, having dropped it to minimum, an hour or so after the track I topped of with...

    Winter Clio car cover- decent one?

    Ive had 2 small hatchback covers (Inc Halfords) and whilst they easily fit, they are very loose and the wind gets into them Many a windy night and in the morning they are half off Going to have to go tailormade if I can, altho they do a "half tailor made" whatever that is...

    BTB Exhaust Sportscat

    Luckily, when I purchased my 172 18 months ago it already had a BTB stealth exhaust on, (Still got a part payment receipt) which seems to get pretty good reviews, and has a sound that's just right for me. Havent looked into it too much, but it doesnt have the dual standard catalytic converter...

Would like...

    French Car Show 2018

    I started of at over 1.40 and ended with 1.33 which for a pretty standard Phase 1 that had to get me home I was pleased with. I would expect its quite slow, but a longer time on track would have faired me better, and maybe a bit of tinkering with the engine is called for :-)
