Strange creatures indeed mate, look at Tanks - lol! Mine is at K-Tec at the moment, replacement gearbox with a Gripper Diff going in it. Timing couldn't be worse from a cost perspective as I've just proposed to the other half and raiding my savings for the car has not gone down well, as that...

To confirm a few things on the 438's (and reinforce what Danny has said). My car is a 172 with PAS, AC, exhaust and the prototype K-Tec induction kit; Idle - not a problem, very smooth, almost the same as standard. I use the car as a daily and it's perfectly happy sat in the commute...

That is great news, looking forward to following your progress over the season.

If the flamer is back from having a new box / Gripper diff i'll come along to this, convoy with Tank.

Incy-Spider, I have found the cams have given a huge improvement, but instead of going off topic - check out these threads for more info / RR graphs etc; http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?612638-Cub-172-s-Flamer-Project http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?623625-438-Cams...

I am one of these 'someone's. tank is the other one. We had 438's fitted, with cams but without induction it ran 186bhp, with k-Tec induction prototype and mapping (with the cams) again to suit, it ran 197 bhp. Tanks ran 203 bhp.

Pants. I can't make this, Clio won't be back with its new box and gripper diff until next Fri :(

I've got 438's in mine, would recommend them to anyone.

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner Looking good, and good power. How are you finding the B14's? I have then on mine and love them...

I have b14's on mine and I think they perform excellently. Haven't tried the others though..

Got your number mate, when the flamer is back i'll drop you a text.

Many chuckles, it seems each thread on CS at the moment can't help but deliver. Rear strut bracing is only effective if it is welded (like Craigus photo above) onto the actual shell, I.e the part of the car flexing under increased stress. Cracks me up when people appear out of nowhere arguing...

Some major fail occuring in this thread. Its embarrassing. Members post how 'great' they are at driving, whilst in the same breath rubbishing their 'skills' by arguing the improvement a mod well known for adding zero benefit brings. I can understand why people may want them in for how they...

1. Adam 2. Cub 172 (on the basis mine back from the garage)

Re: Who, Where & What Picture of the supercharged flyer please tom, you are fooling noone ;)

Ripping off the E.England and SE lot, I'm starting a 'Who, Where & What' for us South Central inhabitants. Hopefully help put members names to cars; Who: Cub 172 (Oli) Where: Reading What: Modded Mk2 Flamer

I will come to this if the Flamer is back from having a new box and Gripper Limited Slip Diff put in....I also want to see yours Terry, after you have joined me in being 'cammed up'. Just seen Tim's post, if we make it the week after it works better for me as I'm more likely to have my car back!

Good choice, I was right then :) I like it in white, what modding plans are afoot?

FLOL - the best part for me were the pictures with loads of random red arrows pointing at the exhaust. He is selling an exhaust, yet still needs to put red arrows on pointing out what it is/where it is located. Advertisement written by a 'tard, for 'tards.

How much money? Cams? As the others have said though, I'd start on brakes, then suspension...that's what I did,

Sorry to hear this Chippen mate, but a well sorted MX-5 will drive very well. You planning on charging the MX? Be interested to know who the flamer is going to, see who is joining the club.

As others have said; Cams (either 438 or BTM's GT ones) induction, exhaust. I went for the 438's from K-Tec and I rate them a lot. I am a little concerned why you don't want the mods to be overly 'visible' as if it is to not declare them on insurance, then it is the last piece of advice i'll be...

Errmmm, if its going to be a 'car park' fest, my attendance is unlikely. I thought a bit of looking around the cars, then some food / a sherbet would be the order of the evening....

The man speaks nothing but sense.

Indeedy Tony! Problem is, I will need some tuition before I get anywhere near troubling the diff I'd imagine. We all have to start somewhere though. Only put the gripper in due to the last OEM one failing. But, hopefully some starter tuition from you at Llandow, then a few more track days this...

If the Clio is back from having its box / gripper diff, and I'm at my parents which is near Banbury, I'll pop along.

When I had the 911 I used ChipsAway in Reading mate. They are franchised, so it depends who runs them as to whether they are good or not. Steve at ChipsAway Reading is excellent, does all of the Aston / Jag / lambo work for Lancaster Reading. He is just up the road from them near the Madejski...

I'd be up for a few, specifically why I'm building the flamer so if CS run some I'm in. Beats sharing the track with a load of unknowns!

Re: Cub 172's Flamer Project Hands are still tied on that I am afraid...suggest you give K-Tec a ring mate. As soon as I can share some piccies I will. I'll ask K-Tec if I can share them again when I am in to pick the car up with the new box / gripper diff.

Re: Cub 172's Flamer Project Right, update time. Been quite an eventful few months. Started the new year with a good mini-detail, which got the flamer looking like this (yes I know it lacks tyre shine :rasp:) Nice and shiny, and I enjoyed it like this for about 8 weeks. Then the bad news...
