Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
You do realise that RWD does not give an advantage unless the engine is above the rear axle. FWD WILL get better traction due to the weight over the front axle!
Mine does this a few times when the ABS sensors were unplugged, huge stop at 100mph, back end came round, scared my passenger :p lol! he wasn't expecting it! Your load sensing valve may be knackered or as you say, sensing the car has extra weight in the back due to lowering!
ROFL! That made me laugh! As above, try ripping the handbrake up and controlling it! Why do you think the car dives forward when braking? All the weight is going over the front axle as the wheels are trying to stop it there!
As above 85/15 F/R split! You'd be spinning if the rears were the...
Just spoke to Paul, new 30k engine is in, just plugging the rest back in now! Hopefully getting it on the rollers later to see if this engine is better!
Keep those, the car looks mint. If I had the money and knew you were selling I'd buy that for a run around!
Best looking Ph2 on here after seeing those pics! Love it!
You could keep most of the mods and put them onto the 172. You probably won't save much going down to a 172, unless you went to a Ph1. Which are a rarer car, especially in flame red!
Power steering ain't a worry to me as it's never had much fluid in lol! Yea it was making 138, head gasket had slightly blown a week or so before!
Not spoke to Paul today, did my new engine turn up?
