I saw an MR2 turbo with a ferrari 355 bodykit the other day...........lets just say when you get up close, it doesnt quite look right.

riksy - too true. My courtesy boat can be booted out of corners by holding her on the rev limiter and dabbing the clutch in 2nd, feels like its got 200 bhp!! it would easily keep up with my 172, in fact im going to ask them to swap instead of repairing my car.

Yeah, mine - (according to renaultsport french blokey) - rev limits at 7600 rpm, but on the rev counter display it goes round to 7800/900 rpm, nearly 8000 rpm. Could be the warming up thing. When i had the standard chip it used to limit my revs even when the temp was half way up (normal)...

Im driving my courtesy 1.2 16v boat and its boaty, but not that boaty! Im suprised you were able to gather enough speed to get it to roll 8 times! Take it easy in future. Think of the poor police/paramedics that would have had to pick up your diced corps......

F4RMAN ? - engine number for the 172 and it could also be a cool number plate!!? Im not sure about the cost of it out of warranty. I could give you the number of my garage and you can ring and ask. Im sure theyl just fix it, as its a common problem with 172s, well, mk.1s anyway. Just...

Mines an alien. Asexual, as it has no gearbox at the present moment.

Oh right, do you have the figs on the ap22 with the standard airbox?

(courtesy boat) 1)The whine of the 1.2 16v power house as it hits the rev limiter for 5 minutes 2)The smell of the clutch when you accidently on purpose forget to take your foot of the accelerator through up-changes 3)The way the car leans around fast B-roads and squeels around 20 mph...

Hey, nice choice in car! youve chosen wisely! Yet another 172 in Hampshire/surrey region. Do you fancy coming to the meeting on sunday 3.30 in guildford at Halfords i think. (ill be in the courtesy car, great) Regarding banging under acceleration: my car had this, it turned out it was the...

Well, I think that the cone filter on the mk.1 would account for the lack in performance, as the original airbox is fine (hence, designed by renault etc.). So, problem solved, you have proved that the AP22 is innacurate (13.5 seconds to 100).
