Fingers crossed at mot time I suppose

Doesn't sound like the usual overrun or when decelerating through the gears where it is common to get pops.

Wheels look very nice The mats are even better though....did you have them made up professionally?

I think your right there:D

Yep...good advice, Threading aluminium threads is just such a nightmare:(

Okay so it looks like the sensor is having a bit of a fit then as the cat can't be faulty....it's a Janspeed sports cat and has only been on the car for six months or so. Shall I just unplug the sensor and hope for the best come mot time?

I'm the same....come from a quicker car to the Clio but find the little French rocket far more fun/involving to drive:D

Yeah....I am going to f**k about with the roof this weekend....supposed to be a sunny one down south:D

Some guy bashed into the back of my 172 at the weekend:( I'm now driving around in a Peugeot 307 cc courtesy car.......my girlfriend (who is a hairdresser) love it to bits. That says it all really lol

Mine is okay but I know it's only a matter of time before it gets scuffed up. Good thing is I've now got the holes drilled and know how to take the bumper off so fitting another will be easy:D

I always thought that was every 10 years?

Do a search mate....threads on these seem to be popping up quite a bit these days

That's what I wanted to hear really.....I was just concerned that the light being on would affect the emissions test at the mot. I hear everyone going on about unplugging the second sensor because 'it doesn't do anything' but whay is it there then.....surely it must have a use?

What a load of s**t:(

Someone must have some more info on this

No...it's a twin 3.5 round or single 6x4 oval I had the twin exit one and TBH it looked pretty silly on a car as small as the 172.

They don't look to be 100% carbon fiber....the carbon lay is only used on the front (visible) sections..the rest looks to be just glass fibre. I haven't had any problems with mine yet but I imagine the chipping is probaby just the resin/laquer used on the surface..not much you can really do...

I'd go for Green or K&N myself...cheaper and just as effective

Has anyone with a sports cat put their car through an mot with this light on...what were the results? TBH I'm not fussed about the light being on..I think the time to fix that will be when it's time to sell up and I have the original cat to change back to then anyway.

Anyone?

Parked up in Broad Street car park (next to ASK) in Bath yesterday at about midday. Noticed the Cliosport sticker in the back window straight away:D

Looks like emissions light...mibe has just come on as well:(

Good filter..worth buying

Driving down to Cornwall on Friday the emisions light finally made an appearance (Janspeed sports cat fitted)......carried on driving and all seemed okay with no loss of power and good MPG. I'm not fussed about the light being on but with my MOT due towards the end of the month what I am...

Tints look good but don't go to dark otherwise it'll look silly. If your having them done professionally they ahould be able to take you through all the different percentages of tint to give you an idea of what it'll look like

Too right I had an Escort LX many years back and my god was it underpowered

Yep..that's why I dislike them so much....the rev limit is just so low it makes them f**king boring to drive

Avoid the Powertec one....nice steel mesh to get hot:(

Check your rad hoses and under the bottom Best thing to do is to park the car up and leave paper or material under the car...this will show any leaks/dripping coming from underneath. If that doesn't show anything up it may be worth investigating the head gasket

Yeah...I think if he's just passed your looking more at 2k I personally reckon that's a bit of a waste of money..better off getting a 1.2 or something for a year or two to build up the no claims
