ive got an ITG but to be honest just get the K-Tec one you wont notice a difference lol possibly worth it if your mapping but £30 cud be spent better on petrol!

down a twisty backroad it was just as quick as my 172 is, you could corner quicker and brake later. infact if you didnt have big straights it could be quicker!
on the road it was no...
i put 20k on my 172 in a year and that was all just driving it for the sake of driving because its such an awesome car!
only had the dci 2 months and put 3k on it lol
Not much been happening with this lately, been waiting on a few parts coming and some more cash lol got 2 deliverys this week though :D:D
Rear bumper (sold mine so i could go for k-tec stealth instead of k-tec recessed)
Polished AWT Matched Inlets and fuel rail guard (thanks CHRISK172+)...
should be fine mine was blowing slightly and i didnt even get an advisory for it, as long as its secure and doesnt sound to loud you will probably only get an advisory at worse!
personally id get a mk2 172 or a mk1 172. id want aircon not as much to keep me cool but to de mist my windows in the winter, thats the one thing i really miss when i drive the dci no aircon takes for ever to demist the windows!
because the throttle body is in a different location, you might be able to fit that to a 2004> engine with a bit of modification to the pipework on the induction kit its self but you wont get it on a <2004 engine

i cant wait to get my RStuner when my 172's back on the road, wish henk would hurry and get the...
i fitted my 182 manifold at same time as my decat so cant really say how much i gained but fitting the 2 of them together it pulls like a train!! and yeah the smell is normal.
the 2 decated 182s at the scottish RR day were running down on power iirc? but mine feels much quicker than it was!
lol aye makes a wee bit difference that doesnt it! ^^
i never had a K&N but had an open filter on my old one, sounded ok but nothing like some other cars sound like! just a slightly louder note
went to do my brakes on my dci today, not removed the wheel since i got it and it appears the locking nut on one of the wheel has been badly damaged by a previous owner/garage so basically the key doesnt fit in it! so looks like im going to need to drill it out or something? never done it before...
