well you're right on one hand and epicly wrong on the other. build quality may be better. Cars may be nicer to drive (subjective) but weight kills performance, and everything new is HEAVY

it's a 63mm butterfly. External is obviously bigger, 73mm rings a bell, not measured one in 6 months or so though

open office is decent

doesn't always follow quite like that though. newer cars get heavier, more restrictions are implemented, more safety stuff is put in. Things are compromised. Better is a VERY hard word to quantify when comparing cars, so many things are subjective.

anything's possible, but it's definitely not an easy bolt in

so not ALL non 172cup ph2 2 litres then? :rolleyes:

that's "Sean." on here, rapid car.

you probably dont remember Matt_S's midnight purple s13 do you mate? First UK s13 rb25 conversion RIP

fair play for saving it, but an exclusive should be a ph1 IMO

mostly length differences, and with/without center bearing on the long shaft

yeah, new ones come with flexible rubber boots, not the plastic ones they had from the factory, and also an improved clip which wont break like the original

SOME come with a sensor, fitted, working, operational. and they're NOT cups

for £399 they wont be genuine

it's a low boost conversion. you run actuator pressure so no controller needed

indeed. Yet to be confirmed. Give us a few weeks to confirm the C&Bs :)

You need to take the sump off and tap a 3/4bsp hole in the back of it, it needs to be on the flat part of the sump between the strengthening ribs. Hope this helps.

kind of..... last minute invite. Playing on the dyno tomorrow ;) :D

well i'm down south NOW. left my house at 9.30 tonight here by 11.35, LOL I'd prob be up for a beach type meet if it ever stops raining!!!!

I've done that a few times this year :o I just like it better. Really torn actually. All my family are moving south, and all my friends are in Bedfodshire.

no speedo sensor on a 182, it's taken from ABS

172 is a comfier, nicer daily drive, by a fair margin. You've got to love mk1s to live with one for any length of time. Rewarding in their own way though.

me too. Same on work prospects at the moment though.

it IS M12x1.5

if drilling by hand, go a little smaller to account for drill wobble and drilling into aluminium. 10mm drill will work, just go slowly to start it off

dont think they do say that. Probably crossed wires. Should idle normally on 428s, they're very very mild

as long at it has a speed sensor hole in the box, it will work. not uncommon for normal 172s to have a speed sensor in the box

Lol, the moral of this story is, dont read car magazines for technical info Now i'm not a fan of iridium plugs AT ALL, but they do have some small benefits (hugely outweighed by the cost) If you run a catalyst, you should run either platinum (standard) or iridium plugs as they give a cleaner...

bit of a difference on the rear right mounting. Shouldn't take much to mod it (not done it so can't say exactly)

definitely cheap for a proper race car!!

well what people call wastegate chatter, has nothing at all to do with the wastegate. It's actually compressor stall, the throttle is closed and the air rushes back through the turbo and is litterally chopped by the compressor blades
