Sorry it is a bit dirty at the mo. The Cat-back exhaust system has a great sound and is not too loud on the motorway either, It only really kicks in when you rev/floor it. It has a lovely note even at tick over but it is not too obtrusive. Also I have noticed a massive power gain from fitting...

Mate, It is an rfp3215, I have a ported box which is designed for the Sub and works a treat, It is just massive though. Was thinking about having one that is to fit in a corner if that is possible. Like a wedge shape. Or one that faces upwards inside a box that is like a false floor if this...

Guys will get some pictures done later today. - Promise lol

Yeah, But I still have thew standard 172 alloys so only 15" tyres only come to £50 each

Basically I have a full Rockford install which I had in my old car. This includes a 15" Rockford, but the box takes up most of my boot. This didnt bother me before because I just put stuff on the back seat, how ever this car has leather rear seats and so I dont want to scratch them. I have...

I have a new pair of tyres on the front of my mk1 172 but they are s**t. Renault supplied them, ggrrr But was thinking of getting a set of Michelin Exaltos, could anyone let me know if you have any expreince with using these tyres and whether they are any good in wet/dry conditions cheers

wickeda!

are you positive they dont have those little grub screws in the side. I know its obvious but just check before you spend a load of money

You just want to use the fuel with the highest octane rate. Burns better and is better for the engine, in Japan they use like 100 ronand here the best we have is 98ron so best to use that if ya can.

Yeah that is why I didnt go for powerflow, so also agree

Sorry mate, too far away from me, Im sure that powerflow would not ask the place to fit their exhausts unless they were good, wouldnt want them to give them a bad name and that eh!

Mate, I would go for a Quickshift Taipan 2 Kit, Similar in looks to the Viper kit, but tests have shown a better increase in performance. Contact POTN

Yeah been looking on the meguairs website, but nothing specific really. Do you think I can use the solution that I use for my alloys it is acidic though and so thought this not such a good idea

Anyone

Has anyone else with a mk1 172 experienced any gearbox problems or gearbox noises. Could you let me know as mine doesnt sound right. Seems to whine alot, makes the car sound like it needs an oil change on idle, but have just had one, so isnt that.

The rear badges should be attached to a platic lower bracket, depending on which model RT you have. If so the bracket can just be unscrewed. Otherwise better off getting someone else to do it, as those little holes you are left with are a right bugger to fill.

Anyone know which is the best product/s for cleaning my engine. Also my gearbox is a bit whiny anyone experienced this and is it f***ed

I have had a scorpion system put on last Saturday and it is superb, Performance increase is definately noticable, Quite loud when warmed up though.

mmmmm, youve had it rolling road tested then eh have ya? These are figures from rolling road tests

Wickeda, am looking for some good 195/50/15s rockport, and live near to Elite, will paying them a visit next week I think Really looking for some Michelin Pilot sports though, But just as good I suppose, not up on my tres tbh.

Just going by peoples rolling road experiences, what it says in the catalogue and what is says on the needforspeed website

yeah mate I have been looking for the same thing, and kept getting told to go for powerflow, mmmm but not my cup of tea. Anyway here is the post...

Radweld is good for fixing leaks, obviously depends how big the leak is though

Mate, It looks like the one above but is 101mm instead of 90mm I will post some pictures of my one on Sunday / Monday

Thanks for the contributions guys, really looking forward to saturday now, I will take some Pictures for you guys to see, The other good think is that apparently you dont see the backbox, because the majority is at the top if you get me. Will let you know about motorway travelling too...

Sorry, no this is a Cat-Back system

Well Basically I wanted a single round exhaust jap stlye but they only seem to be custom ones and am not too keen about that. This was is froma guy in brighton and is £286.50 for the whole system and is a 4" round single, obviously not jap style but close enough. I wasnt keen on scorpion...

Quite good actually, You should actually ring up the companies though and see what they can offer you first eh. Check out the people who make the rsr rear bumper with those exhausts

No idea, But I didnt go for the de-cat because it is not legally allowed to pass an MOT

After reading all the power gains etc for the different Exhaust systems that have round tail pipes I have decided to get the scorpion System with a 101mm round end. From the different brochures I looked at it seems to give the best power increase (combined with the induction kit) for the money...
