I'd have thought if it was JMS would have used it. I don't know though. I'd have to leave them to comment. They've done the testing.

I got mine at 19. Insurance isnt that bad, consumables are a bit more than a non-rs but the running costs arn't that bad. 172's are dirt cheap now though, so i'd expect to see a lot more chaved up ones soon.

I realy fancy this but won't be able to get the time off work. I'm going on holiday the week after. I may try and mither though, see what I can do.

Scooby looked good jesus. Sounded good too. I ment to go over and have a proper look at it but I got distracted lol

Looks well that. Good plans too.

Ahh. Now i'm with you. The standard CAF's make no sence anyway. They're almost coiled up they're that long. That cn't be great for air flow.

Gutted mate. Thats a lot of money's worth of wheels. Hopefully they may get caught. Take it you've informed the police?

Well I'll be having on soon. What ever you choose to call it :cool: I'm sure there must be definate gains from the 'shoulder piece' the standard one just looks restrictive. The panel filter would provide even more induction noise too won't it?

I've just removed the standard CAF's on my ph1 airbox. I can't say i've noticed any difference in performance but its a lot louder and sounds awesome. I think i'll be going for JMS's bend and filter at some point in the near future too.

I might disconnect the feeds then. I'll probably uprate them in the future anyway.

The Vee airbox looks good mate. Very tidy. If I removed the standard insulated airfeeds from my ph1 172 airbox would this be benificial then? I've heard several people mention lately that CAF's can hamper performance.

If it realy is cam'd maybe it would be worth putting into the advert. Slightly off topic but if you bought a car and wasn't told it was cam'd and insured it as standard where would you stand legally? I mean its impossible to tell to the untrained eye?

Looks mint that mate. Whats the performance like with the mods you've done.

Re: NW/NE meet, 31-1-10... Your exit was epic Ben. I loved how you sat around warming the car up just for that. Good meet. Nice to meet a few new people.

There is a bit where I am. Not loads though. I'm debating whether to clean the car or not. It realy needs it but its so cold.

A remap will help mid range mainly. It gives a better torque curve. To be getting a significantl higher top speed your going to need ITB's, SC or Turbo. You could try that setup Kev uses of his 197 too, its suposed to be good. I think for big power and speeds you'll need forced induction.

This threads realy changing my mind on the RS's. It looks stunning in those last pics you took Roy.

That sounds awesome. I love GTI6's.

The 200 is not limited. Fact. The reason it does not rev around to 7800rpm is because it does not have the power to go any faster. The engine physically cannot provide the torque for it to rev any higher at those speeds hence it has reached its terminal velocity. If your theory that it would...

Could just slap a supercharger on it for 4K and have way more pace than a meggy.

Know the feeling Naith. I go uni in September. I need to save enough to keep the 172 on the road for the year. It will need a services, albeit only an interim, brakes all around and a windscreen. Plus anything else that goes wrong in the interim. Then insurance on top of that. Major ball ache.

If an exhausts got a lifetime guarantee does that include the baffles. I.e. if I got a decat and blew the baffles out of my stealth would ktec replace it under warranty.

He's got a Nikon D40 mate. Pretty good camera. Got one myself.

Good pics Riad. The track looks mad in that much rain.

Your car is so nice. Love it. You coming the NW meet on Sunday mate?

Why not sell the 182 and get a car thats cheaper to run, then get a mint Williams 1. That way you could spend more on the Williams making it mint.

Turini's ;) On serious note it looks mint as it is. I'm sure you can imporve it but nothing stands out.

Not bad MPG that. For the performance you get anyway.

The car looks good Mullen. Nice to see it back no the road.

Probably true that. Its a good enough reason too imo. If your not bothered about luxuries and want to save a bit of cash why not. The Cup's don't seem to lose value any quicker than a FF. I'd rahter have a 182 Cup than non-cup packed.
