im 19 on a ff 172 with 1yrs ncb for £1200 fully comp in my own name

not true it will be fine only need an adaptor if you want to use the screen and steering controls i needed a little ariel adaptor for my old pioneer one, dont know about others (think it was a pc97 or something along those lines)

only use the standard NGK plugs, these engines dont like anthing else!

if exhaust is blowing at the joint between manifold and cat then yes it will make a big difference

In my experiance from having a play with few uk wrx's they have plenty grip and power to pull them out the bends but the clio appears to be able to corner just as quick if not quicker, and straight line there isnt much in it, impreza slightly quicker on the newer models. my mate sold his 172...

dont get the relocated induction kit, you will lose torque

SL03 SOC

better build quality would do it for me, not that their built that great but much better than a 172/182 anyway!

mine was always empty spent more time without an engine or gearbox than it did with one! heap! lol

under the bonnet, plenty room on 1.2's

ive just blown my load at dickys iceberg. the cup suits the magnex too looks good when its sitting right!

it tries to kill me mid corner when ive forgot to switch it off!! your flying towards a bend big smile on your face ready for it and just as you enter it the noise of the exhaust dissapears and the disco light flashes

since refitting my acustic valve i could swear the car apears to have gained torque midrange, but its possibly all in my head, its getting better mpg with it fitted too! ill be leaving it on

on my 03 plate, with button to deactivate.

theres still improvement to be had on the RS manifolds btw, just they are slighly better

depends how bad the original one is, some gain up to 10bhp iirc but some gain hardly anything, what year is the car? less gains to be had if it has the RS stamped manifold

coilovered cars dont handle as well as standard on your average uk roads if they are really low so depends how low you were thinking? (thats my experiance with FK's never used the likes of H&R)

agree with that ^ the clio is a drivers car, starlet is more of a toy tbh. they are reliable when modded properly, but some people just up the boost and dont do any other mods to support it!

but neither is a glanza! they are limited to 110ish iirc too? not hard to remove though. my mate had a standard gtt, lighter than a glanza and no boost limiter in first and second gear like the glanza and my standard 172 was much faster, starlets are cheap-ish to tune though to a certain...

radio code should be on the inside of the front cover of the service book iirc

give me a shout if you want a shot of mine to make up your mind :)

turinis rock when slammed!

my old one lowered lots on FK's

yep torx screws holding on disk to hub, if you use the proper size they shouldnt round ;)

not at all if you were born in 1989 :rasp: they dont cost as much to insure as you would think!

ive done 25,000 hard miles in the last year kicking the nuts out mine. just dont rush the box, make sure the clutch is right down! and regular gearbox oil changes and it'll be fine

ONLY use the genuine sparkplugs, they dont like anything else in my experiance, genuine ones are around £12 each though if i remember correctly think its probably more likely to be the leads rather than the coil pack, ive never had a coil pack go on any 172 ive worked on but had to replace...

cams will give 15bhp if mapped properly, filter wont give anything, exhaust 2 or 3 bhp top end power if your lucky your probably looking at an extra 15-17bhp which puts you at about 195-197bhp IF the car puts out the standard 180bhp to begin with!

paint job's a bit rough up close but its going back in to get a few bits sorted out, still its pretty good for £400! my mate done all the prep though, just got a guy to paint it

not to bad boys! that red mk1 v6 looks a bit gay, kinda car a queer would drive. ohhh woops is that ians new one?!
