if its a k-tec relocated induction kit no chance, mine was well down on power and torque with one fitted.
i cant remember my exact figure but i beleive it was around 86bhp on my old one?
as for keeping up with a 1.6 8v vtr, no chance on a straight.
For anyone interested or if anyone knows anyone interested

awesome example, well looked after, selling due to moving to australia
location was Carron Dam in Carron Valley. brilliant drive there and back, twisty roads 172's tyres were squeeling all the way there and back and mr2 was sideways at some points lol
MR2 is an awesome example, he traveled for hours to view/buy it but hes emegrating to australia with Gibson172...
went out to take some pics of my mates Toyota MR2 Rev3 Turbo that hes selling and took a few of the clio and a wee video while we were there!
nothing fancy would have washed it if i knew id be taking pics of it lol
And finally a wee video of my 172 with K-Tec Recessed 2.5"...
not from a handling point of view, 15"s are best for that.
awesome wheels, will look sweet when lowered, going to need to go atleast 40mm though i think!
2003 172 with an ITG filter and crappy blowing patern part exhaust - run at falkland
173bhp @ the fly
now running a k-tec 2.5" recessed system, Decat & 182 manifold
love mine too, theres always something niggling away needing sorted but doesnt bother me that much.
love getting windows down open her up and hear that rasp from the decat!
had a play with a 172 cup lastnight in stirling looked to be coilovered, had aftermarket wheels and exhaust, sounded awesome.
someone told me it was on bodies didnt seem fast enough though but did look to have 3 full grown guys in it! seemed about same pace as mine except when i changed it...
to be honest though, my 172 when it had a patern part centre section made 173bhp! but was slightly down on torque.
although the pipework was dodgey size wise at bends etc it was better made in the sense it didnt fall off!!
could we get some petition started supported by the club?
i was going to go in and order a new one at HUGE expense to myself because my car is 100% mint otherwise
mine is melted and right hand thumb grip trashed!
i came off the stirling services roundabout and a mk3 clio in black looked like a dynmaique S flashed me, not got a clue who it was lol! someone from here maby?
had the fancy front splitter on it is that the SX kit or whatever they call it!
