    Cleaning alloy wheels

    As Rich's recommendation to me a few weeks back, I cleaned my oil stained 172 engine cover with the AG Engine & Machine cleaner. Bit of a scrub with a brush to agitate product and hose off, it came up just like new!! BTT - spot on with wheels too. SRP & EGP means dirt will hose off easily...

    is ur's the same???

    I agree with Chris.:approve: When cold mine used to limit at 6500rpm, I've had a re-map and it limits at 7650rpm, but its really not worth going that high. I find its best to change at about 6800rpm, its not worth caning the ar5e off the car for the acceleration after that. Power drops off...

    Has anyone had a remap on a standard 197?

    Always manage over 40mpg, always run V-power or BP Ultimate. Economy if anything is better, even when thrashing it:quiet: Go for the ITG panel filter, about £45.

    Has anyone had a remap on a standard 197?

    Its at low revs when you can really tell the re-map. Look at the graph, standard at 2400 rpm gives around 105 lb/ft yet the re-map gives 127 lb/ft! Thats over 20% increase!!!! Believe me I had my 172 mapped there, its a big difference low down. PS, Paul, you've still not Pm'd me with a price...

    Down on horse power?

    Bear in mind The Seer, that the power doesnt really come in til 4500-5000rpm, then nail it to the red line 7300rpm Just under 7000rpm is more realistic, as the power drops off quite quickly after that, although, you would be in the sweet spot when changing up to the next gear. Get used to it...

    Decat question!!

    Try MILLTEK for a de-cat for 182. They're only about £35 - £40. And Milltek are a decent manufacturer.

    Woah, tyre pressures.

    BenR [Angelworks] was doing some work to my car the other week and checked my bearings and tyre pressures and said mine were inflated to 40psi ! Thats after it had been to a Renault garage for a main service. Tut Tut. BenR or Yozzasport for me next time, no more Renault rip off.

    Is 60k really high miles?

    55k on an '03 plate and mine is as good as ever. Spared no expense on it, FRSH every 12 months to get the book stamped + specialist doing interim oil+filter every 6 months. Like said earlier, owners club cars are usually meticulously looked after.:approve: I think I've just commited to...
