    FAO: Phase 1 172 owners, cool trick for cool noise!

    Does it work on the mk.2s? or is their air feed only linked to the wheel arch? Rich-D: or if you were really cool, you collected those "spokey dokeys" from Kellogs packs! or was it just me? Im going to disconnect the other feed and see what it sounds like with them both off! i better be careful...

    Yeah, just disconnect the top pipe (easier to get to than the bottom pipe) from the airbox (very easy, twist it each way and pull at the same time, itl shift and is dead easy to twist back on!) You dont need to buy a K+N or a PiperXViper when you can do this! ideally, if you want cold air...

    FAO: Phase 1 172 owners, cool trick for cool noise!

    Oh my god! what a noise! just taken the monster out for a blast a la dual pipe de-contamination and "damn", she sounds purrrrrfect! So theres 2 volume settings (something you cant get with the induction kit!), both sound good. Setting 1: for the mild modifier (+20bhp) and Setting 2: for the...

    Ive seen many examples in Surrey, Guildford in particular. Not impressed, a speeding motorist went past a police car that was waiting at a junction and the police car -almost, very nearly - pulled out in front of an innocent driver without thinking, well he was thinking, but only about the...

    Am i thick or does everyone know what Red mist is apart from me??! I see, far too often, those regular police drivers driving through red lights with their lights on, and when theyve passed the lights, they switch them off and drive normally. Scarey stuff: - i was in the right hand lane of a...

    If you want your 172 to sound like its got an induction kit and cant afford one, try removing the cold air (front of car) feed pipe from the air box. The air is still being filtered, so no harm to the engine etc. But it makes a lovely induction roar that sounds like youve got an induction kit...

    What do you think about Police chases? All i see after a chase on programmes like "police stop" is a horrific crash. Surely if joy riders were not aprehended by a unit and just monitered by cctv etc thered be less endangerment to the civilians from the nutters trying to get away.
