Ill go take a look tomorrow. Didnt think of using a drain as an air intake before. I like it! I think Im going to go down the breathing mods with chip route. Seems a reasonabley cheap way of extracting more power.
Im wanting to do something similar with the 172. Ive got 3 pipes coming out the bottom of the car which scoops air up to the open K&N filter (shielded with aluminium). However, Im going to seal the kit to make it work like a PiperX Viper. I want some sort of scoop to force air up into the space...
ASCAR is Sheffield took a look at my system and said that the cat and the back box were both restrictive but the rest of the system was okay. They suggested decat first then a back box.
Ive got my own "semi-open" induction kit on my car and its at the very least done it no harm, and seems to...
Mine should be here tomorrow. Were buying 2 plain white mugs to put the "CUP" part of the logo on :D. Mind you, I dont like the yellow, so Im painting it silver to match the rest of the logos.
Doesnt seem to be any point at all in spending money on power to lug around a load of ICE. In a 1.2 spending a grand on power mods probably wont increase the power/weight ration sufficiently to counteract the weight of the sub etc.
I think the wise choice is to bank that money and get yourself...
Oh dear, will no one ever produce a sensible tuning package for the 172? Or maybe just get independent proof that their supposed 200bhp conversions are genuine.
I get the feeling that the name "R-Sport" is meant to convey some connection to Renault without actually putting Renaults name to them!
And where can I get a GrpN ECU from?
Take it to any reputable garage and explain that youve had it lowered and the brakes dont feel right. I imagine that it wont take more than 20/30 mins to put right.
But my way gives you no performance loss with the benefit of the highly addictive induction kit ROAR! :D (there are three cold air pipes coming from under the car that you cant see in the picture above)
Talking in English might help. At the moment it looks like youre on a wind up mission!
As far as cars go, I would have thought a tuned 1.6 CTR should have managed more than a 15.4 second 1/4 mile. I would also thought that if speed isnt important to you then you a) wouldnt have tuned it and...
I tried the parts that make up the stage one kit on my Williams 3 (decat pipe, Hill Power chip and Hill Power induction kit) and, on using the AP22 for before and after timings, I wasnt too impressed.
However, Si_5 had the same Stage One parts fitted by Hillpower and there was a definite...
