I want to remove the engine cover from a friend's 172 but one of the bolts is kinda damaged from previous attempts. not sure what to do now :(

^the conductor inside is also different on the reds, both material and thickness wise.

hard to keep these cf splitters intact isn't it? :) very nice car!

I think I know where you're coming from, and I'm not surprised tbh unfortunately

:))) everybody has a "loud scale" :D no hard feelings!

one of the loudest. but top quality though ;)

oh and get the 2,5" cat mod done ;) just for having a better joint to the center section if nothing else

exhaust (if you say not too raspy) - milltek, scorpion rs 192 (milltek can be bought from k-tec and delivered to your door) induction: depends on your budget and if you want the noise. panel filter or v6 airbox give the best results mainly. If you really want the noise and something to look good...

I packed mine with general purpose black silicone the other day (heat resistant up to 120 degrees-which seemed enough) an finally the tailpipes sit properly when engine cold at least.. once exhaust gets hot the left one gets off-center a bit but I'm not too bugged about that pic showing when...

depends mostly on what you want really. my car is a daily driver mainly and I knew from the start that I wanted solid mounts. I didn't worried about vibrations and if you do then maybe you should go for new std mounts plus powerflex dog bone

very good indeed^

there are stock 182's over the 170 bhp mark, with a remap, inlets and exhaust I'd expect it to be closer to the 180 figure or at least around 175

trader or not I'm not gonna swap mine again! It's too cold outside LOL

my rear shocks were leaking bad at around 45-50k so no surprise if yours are on their way out

this is the thread I was looking for. made sense and swapped mine with the thin part under the box http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?528347-Powerflex-Dogbone-Arghhhhhhh!/page3&highlight=powerflex+dog+bone

now he's confused! LOL. true to be said I ran mine like mike said for almost a year and nothing happened

195/45 r15 are way too small, better do the bumper bracket mod if you'll experience rubbing for looks I'd like a wheel that fills the arches rather than a low profile tyre look

if it's really mapped with the rs tuner module I'd contact Henk at fastchip and for sure he'll be able to give advice or to sort the problem

looks like nothing I've seen in a MK II, maybe it's custom made?

as in the picture above (thin end under the box) there were some discussions on this and many (me included) had the bush mounted the other way. Looks like there are more vibrations and more strain on the bolt if fitted with the thick part under the box

you'll be pleased I reckon!

this just made me curious. I'll pop a question and see what they tell

only on idle, basically inexistent when driving. harsh wise.. anyone has a different scale of things so couldn't tell. All I can say is I'm used to the vibration now (I kinda like it tbh :D ) and the stiffness of the mounts always makes me smile when on full chat

don't know if there is available one for the non sport but you can always pack the bushes inside with some sealant and make them harder if can't find anything else

You can change the engine mounts to standard new ones and get the powerflex dog bone mount- many people do this and it's a popular setup or you can get the whole lot (k-tec uprated engine mounts plus powerflex dog bone mount bushes). I did it and I'm happy with how the car feels but if you're...

what?? 2k for a cat?? I refuse to believe it, I thought they were about 900£ (which is still a fortune)

that surely makes sense, didn't knew that! but if I was having leaks after fitting the NW kit I'd still try it and be careful not to apply in excess and probably to the outer edge area of the gasket. just a thought though

get one without a breather pipe, it's a lot cheaper. then make your own oil catch tank (easy to do) and run the BMC either with a short CAF behind the headlight or without one (just make sure the airbox is as close to the grille as possible in this case)

as an alternative to tigerseal, would some normal silicone do the job of filling the OE mounts?

If I was about to change this kit I'd make sure to throw in some exhaust paste in the area, that would do no harm right? and will ensure no air leaks
