I fitted a pipercross filter last week. Seems to make a bit of a difference but nothing really amazing

Theres a black CTR I encounter sometimes on my way to work. Usually too much traffic to race but I dont think Id bother anyway as the guy drives like a tit. Seems a bit like a Mondeo or BMW driver undertaking people and cutting them up on Islands just to save a few seconds. People that do that...

Cord, I got a pipercross foam filter to go in as a replacement. To be honest there isnt a great deal of difference. Seems to pull a bit harder - especially in third and fourth but nothing substantial. I think once I have got a new exhaust and a hillpower chip we will see some serious...

Black is definitely the best colour for the mk2 in my oppinion. Looks really good.

Nice one Steve

Yeah Ive just looked at that thread but doesnt really make that much sense. Just seems like a competition between Ben R and Captain Arseface to see who can come out with the most technical terms in one sentence! I need a simple explanation.

What a job I had changing my air filter yesterday. I thought it would take about 5 mins but the cylindrical airbox on the mk1 172 is an absolute pig to take off. Everything is so squashed in the engine bay that I had to take out the battery, loosen off some brackets and eventually force of the...

I know that with Honda V-techs there is a seperate intake cam that comes in at high revs but can anyone explain how Renaults version works?

God. Painted calipers!

Anyone know a place to buy them?

Sounds like Hill Power are the way to go. I dropped them an email so hopefully I will get a response. I think I will just let them do the whole job. I was thinking about doing it myself but I suppose they have all the proper equipment to set everything up correctly and yes you are right about...

Ok cheers guys.

Currently planning a few mods but do not know which induction kit would be best to go for. Pipercross and BMC are two names that I am considering.

Good point Chavy. When I did mine I had a puddle of oil swilling around in the drip tray. Lucky for me my next door neighbour was away on holiday at the time and he has a nice sloping drive which came in very useful for drainage! You should have seen the mess! When they got back the chap was...

Is there actually any need to take the entire plastic cover off? Mine has a little circular plastic cover over the sump plug which you can just twist to remove. Also, some people may find that getting the oil filter off is easier if you remove the heat sink that covers the fuel injectors. You...
