got a big ding in my bonnet from a large stone that got flicked up the other day but fancied a carbon bonnet (but want to get it painted on the outside and left carbon underneath - stealthy!) just wondering if they are the lightest bonnets i can get or does anyone do a aluminium or fibreglass...

ill race you!!! in the dci, i like a challenge, not even worth putting the millage on my 172 to prove that it would pass you like your going backwords :)

nope 6.5 odds

lol shes not going to be driving it fast shes s**t scared of it! will be nice knowing shes out on the roads with £500 worth of tyres, 280mm brakes, traction control and abs, it will look after her!!

how these handle compaired to the non RS clios, quite fancy something newer to replace the dci clio and a tdci one would fit the bill!

its hardly a fighter jet lol

i know its balls, now do i let her loose with 190bhp or not? haha wonder how long before someone asks for pics of mrs lol

its the optimum gear change light... NOT!!!! warning light to change gear or ur going to hit the limiter

so my mrs passed her test yesterday, was going to insure the dci for her so she could drive that but thought id try the 172 and see what quote came back. ive still got 9 months of a 10 month policy left with admiral so gave them a call. my mrs is.... 18yrs old, passed test yesterday. how...

147 in 5th for me....

if i could go back to my 1.2 i wouldnt have the loud exhaust id keep the standard one. if standard 172 exhausts were better quality id 90% probably have kept it!

costs would be mega high, u looking to run boost?

hahahahahaha

supersprint do them, motorsport world used to sell them dunno if they still do

you dont want prolonged use over 7200rpm (which it wont do as standard anyway) but 7k gear changes arnt going to do it any harm, but its past the powerband by then anyway, i change at 6800rpm as thats when mine is starting to tail off

personally i just give it quick launch and once its starting to roll then hammer the throttle that way it doesnt spin in first as long as its dry (and thats with just under 190bhp and 160lb/ft!) im lazy so i keep ESP on for a launch its not like it affects it that much just enough to get the...

open induction kit by any chance? theirs ur problem, and the decat will be causing it to not run the best!. 16v 1.2's get big gains from mapping actually but iirc yours is an 8v? not sure about them.

were no doubts last year but suddenly with results consistent to last year, people are unhappy?

my mate had them all round on his 172 and rated them

granted the guys positioned the fan at the wrong place first run and engine suffered heat soak on the first run (cured as said by removing engine cover and opening boot) but power figure wise the rollers were fine!

good stuff mate be keeping a close eye on this one, i love a good project! now i just need to talk my mate into letting me do it!

falklands rollers have always been spot on with my car, at the last RR day they were spot on with all the cars and then again this time once again spot on. focus is having boost problems was nothing to do with the rollers

hahahahahah you are my hero!!

looks awesome mate is it running yet? are you just using the standard exhaust for now with a custom decat to link both the 172 manifold and standard system? does the couple have electric power steering or hydrolic? coupe dials work fine? got a mate whos got a coupe whos been interested in...

you need to have the higher spec UCH to run them. my expression was wired for them behind the bumper BUT the UCH didnt support it, so they didnt work. i ended up just fitting the lights, not like i use them anyway. if your uch supports you need.... Stalk with front fog function (ive just sold...

naked pics? PM if needed

they do a 2.25" mild steel one, its not stainless but its still going to out last the car lol

jesus you just get better and better!!!!
