Going to get some Brembo HCs when my std discs wear out (I'm still trying to finish them off ) lol

Or £££££s if you get stopped and fined at a roadside emissions test with no cat.

That exhaust looks very nice

Lovely motor Day:D

Welcome to the forum....good car Milage is quite high but I wouldn't let that bother you.

Iceberg silver full fat Mk2 172

I've thought about changing that fabric s**t as well....problem is finding something suitable to replace it with which will connect up at either end and not disintegrate in 5 minutes.

I know it's a big issue with turbocharged cars...I had to always be careful in my old Impreza away from the lights due to the IC heating up when stationary increasing the inlet/charge temps. I did think about wrapping the airbox and piping with insulation/heat reflective material to try and...

lol That's class:D

Cheers for the reply Nick Aren't you always going to have a problem with intake temps with the valve in place, IK installed etc? as the filter/airbox is pretty close to the engine and it does warm up when stationary.

Agree As sh*t as the OE headunit is I've left it in the car for that very reason.

Welcome to CS:D

Welcome to CS Car sounds interesting

Welcome to CS That quote sounds about right

Nick What sort of power increase did you actually see with the valve removed....are we talking 1/2bhp?

172 hardly expensive to run

Welcome to CS:D

The grey does look good:D

That's what I though.....opening up at higher rpm. The loss in power/torque at 3000rpm doesn't sound too good.

Welcome to CS

Looks great:D

Nope....thank f**k lol:D

I always thought it opened above a certain rpm:S I'm sure there is enough air available for the engine in stock trim...all this ram air stuff with cold air feeds from the front just sounds a bit suspect to me.

Mine is going to be five years old in October and still runs fine:D

Yep....works all the time I use my 172 for going to MTB races and am a bit paranoid about the interior getting f**ked so always put the seats down (removing rear headrests helps) and cover the whole back area with a large blanket. An average size xC MTB fits easily with the wheels off and...

Letting someone learn to drive in your car if your worried about it getting damaged is a bit backward.

Wire brush and elbow grease:D

You can get six pots on MTBs.....f**king overkill if you ask me. Those 4 pots look great by the way.....bet they stop well too:D

Easy job Be carefull when putting the plenum back on again not to overtighten and strip threads.
