rusty rear arches, rust around the rear wiper arm, stone chips on the nose, cambelt, power steering pump, water pump, service history very important.

fitted my itg panel filter to the cup on saturday and took out the cold air feed from the airbox and now have it sitting about an inch from the airbox as advised by a couple of people on here. what a difference!! it now sounds really throaty at 3500rpm and upwards, really nice induction roar...

i have to admit i always liked the look of novas and wanted one when i was younger but never actually got one, this was when they were still being produced and the image of them wasnt really that bad, more the xr2 s back then. just been reading all the posts on here and today while out in the...

what what ive read on here the cat is an absolute b*****d to get off, best left to the pros with the right tools.

yeah mate that would be fine

u wouldnt need to change the ecu for an exhaust, if u fitted a viper/bmc induction system then it could affect the air/fuel mixture causing the car to run too lean and then u should look at a remap. power wise ktec quote about 6bhp for their sports cat and with a full system u might be looking...

yeah mate its just a case of taking out the screws, taking out the standard filter and replacing it, no adjustment needed. std exhaust is fine, makes no difference, easy to do i think, ill let u know as my itg filter is supposed to arrive tomorrow and ill be replacing it asap.

and what are the benefits over the standard one?

whats the story on modding the inlet manifold on a cup/172? im sure ive read on here its an area that can be improved on as standard is a bit sh*t. whats the benefit of this mod and is it the next step after the usual filter/exhaust/de cat and what sort of bhp are u looking at with all of the...

i could get u to (reed) it for me, maybe not though. :p

sounds like hes talking b****cks

open i/k sucks in hot air from engine bay and will lose power, will sound good but defo lose power, if u can afford it go for the itg maxogen, carbon fibre airbox with itg filter i think they are £360 and are meant to give about 7bhp gain but u will probably need an engine re map to get the most...

does anyone know if the itg needs oiled before i put it in the box (ooeer misses) or does it come ready oiled or what.

right ive ordered a itg replacement filter and im going to take the pipe out of the airbox like cupboy said above and see what is sounds like, i dont expect any power gains from the itg but its a compromise for the time being until cash allows maybe a properly developed maxogen kit. i will post...

big dave have u got the full kit including the blue pipe that leads to the engine and how much are u looking for it?

not talking about performance, just sound, k&n, green, k-techs, hill powers, piper x. want a nice roar from under the hood. used to have a k&n on my valver and it did sound really nice. didnt really notice anydrop in performance either.

cup

mines is defo louder when hot, i think the magnex exhausts do get a bit louder the more miles they get on them. sure that was the case on my valver a few years back it i remember rightly.

saw this story on the whatcar website today at work, apparently these four or five dealerships in the midlands have got the last 40 pre reg cups with less than 100mls on the clocks going for £10999. bargain!! its in the website under the news

:sick: that sounds like a long drive, im in edinburgh. suppose the drive home would be good though:)

where is gdi based about. heard good things on the forum about it and andygdi seems to know his stuff. when the cash is available i might take a trip down for some mods.

spoilt rich kid alert

cheers mate. think ill get one. what other mods have u got?

anyone on here got one? im thinking of getting one to add to my magnex cat back system to try and free up some horses. will it make much difference in power? i see k tec quote +6bhp for there sports cat so surely a de cat would give about the same and is a lot cheaper. im also going to get an...

£374!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! f##k that!

so far ive had my cup lowered and have a cat back magnex and now want to spend some more cash but cant decide what next. should i get the janspeed de cat pipe and a replacement filter (thinking itg panel filter) or should i go for the hill power induction kit or itg maxogen and leave the cat on...

so how much is the piper x induction kit new?

does this sort of thing only happen to me? i spent about 3 hours this morning cleaning my cup inside and out, i even got the autoglym polish out and polished it for the very first time since ive bought it, then polished the glass then decided to take a run to the renault dealer on the outskirts...

my cup is going nowhere. had it nearly a year now only done 4800 miles and there is so much more i want to do to it, ie itg maxogen, de cat, unichip, its already been lowered and has a cat back magnex and ive upgraded the stereo and speakers and i love it. dont see the point in forking out more...

;)just saw my first 182 at local dealership parked outside with cup wheels and spoiler, it was the same colour as my cup i think, it looked the same anyway. not sure about those grey wheels though. cup is still the one to have;)
