from what ive seen it depends if you want the cup ones or trophy ones.

many induction kits actually loose you power so beware. Id get the jms one, at least theyve got rr figures to back up the claims

how much you paying for it? nwperformance ones are only 50 quid brand new and fit onto my ktec perfect.

fairly sure thats only got the sleeve on it for the ktek ultra performance. Your exhaust is 2.25 same as mine so it would need the reducer sleeve which i think ktek supply with the ultra performance exhaust so you can fit it onto standard cat? However if depends if that decat pipe is the ultra...

wonder why theres only the 172 cal and not the 182 one

how fast were you going down the motorway!!? On a 40 mile trip down the m1 i get an average of 45mpg if i stick at 67mph. This is with remap, decat and ktek catbak system.

amazing mahcines, i still get a smile on my face everyday on my drive to work when i see the local chavs blasting past me in their 1.4 corsa sxi init's just thinking to myself if my engine was warm id love to undertake you lol.

been out ages mate.

sound. cheers dude, expect a wanted thread for some cup wheels soon then ha.

sound, there good, just need a refurb on the front near side one. now im stuck between the trophy and cup wheels. I like the idea of the cup for the lower offset but the trophy are a nicer colour

On here tho the trophys are more expensive. I don't plan on lowering it but my car has got both cup packs so it's slight lower than standard. So does this mean that if I get the cup wheels theyl catch on my arch?

so other than that and the offset they are the same wheel? Why are trohys ones so much more money?

Can I just bump this thread, looking for some turninis and am just wanting to know if the only difference between the 172 cup and trophy wheels is the colour and offset. Ie do they both weigh the same?

Saw a 172 today with the 16" wheels like the ones from the trophy and fell in love. I see those selling for about 400-500. My 182 has got the 16" 182 wheels which you get on a full fat with cup packs so they are anthracite with the big spokes. How much would I be looking at having to pay...

i had a big leak from the rad, changed that and thought it was sorted. But now ive lost about a cm from the header tank in about 400 miles so god knows where its leaking now.

I drop the oil, and while that's draining take off the filter and allow the lot to drain for a while. Then fit new filter, put sump plug in and fill it up.

did mine today and it was tight as hell, but ive got a chain which attaches to a rachet which worked a treat

did you fix this mate? my fog light dash light comes on when in reverse and sometimes when im just cruising.

Na just a biT raspyier and loud

I recon timing then, never heard of that garage on here and the belts should be a specialist only job. How much did they charge? Needs sorting asap though before it goes tits up and your engines dead.

Not sure on the bhp gains as I bought my ktek supersport for the sound. However in answer to your question on weight mine weighs nearly half the weight of the standard system, so on paper that's a performance gain in itself. Mine has no centre silencer and I got a decat. Very loud tho lol

ah right, cheers dude. Have to get my kit ordered soon then. Didnt take notice last time as i was too excited to get the decat on lol.

just put the knn kit on. your not going to get any gains on a 1.2. If you do it wont be noticable.

Fit my decat a few weeks ago but cant help thinking i did the springs up too tight. Im going to get a new cat to manifold gasket next week as the one on it was had it so just wondering how tight to do the bolts on the springs when i fit the new ones. Anybody got any pictures? I read that...

Tis very black that, I change mine every 3k and it never looks that bad. I'd say its been a fair few miles on that grinding paste lol.

good point, but i spent alot of my money an its gota last me at least 3 years so dont wana break it lol. Kev, thats a good point, but to be honest the cold rev limiter is a bit close to the warm anyway so bit pointless.

best way is to loosen everything including the center to cat and line it up then get somebody to hold it while you tighten it up.
