http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1564
i was wondering if i went for a proper decat (with no silencer) would it make a huge difference to performance and sound?(its freaking loud as it is!)
ive got gaz coils on there at the moment, they will be off by next week though, the boot lock seems to be fine, but i dont get wh the noise goes away if i stiffen up the rear dampers?made me think there is a bush there which now i know there isnt
hi guys my 172 seems to rattle from the rear, if i stiffen up the rear shocks the rattle seems to go but then im left with a very uneven rid
are there any bushes on the rear of a ph1 172 that could need changing?im on coilovers at the moment
thanks for the inputs guys i dont mind the tyres wearing a bit as long as the handling is spot on for fast road use.
so between -1 to -1.5 is the amount of camber to go for?
hiya guys what the max recommended camber you guys would think is suitable to everyday driving??will adjusting the camber setting eat through the tyres?
my cars a ph1 172 lowered on coilovers and 17's if that makes any difference?
ah ok, i currently have a ktr system, looks great but a bit loud!
the reason why i mentioned mongoose is that i used to be on the ford scene and mongoose was a top manufacturer and seemed to be the choice of most people with cosworth's.
i'd rather not go powerflow, im more after power...
hiya guys im after a new exhaust system for my ph1 172. im after the twin pipes tailpipe design (like the ktr and mongoose) but i dont know whether to hold out for the milltek (and be unsure of the style) or jus go for a mongoose??
any help would be great
thanks
mine too is on coils but dont you find it a b**ch being that low and on 17's(or are they 16's?)?
mine just ended up costing alot more than i had hoped, be careful!
my ph1 used to be that low as taylors when i bought it, drove it for a bit and found the suspension top mounts were crushed on the inside, the bearings were all over the place, and the bump stops needed replacing as thats what the car was resting on!
looks really pimp i reckon but has its...
yeh mongoose do good exhausts, they only got good reviews from what ive heard.
does anybody have a clip of what it looks and sounds like on their car???
thanks
hiya guys does anybody have any info on this system?
i have a de-cat with a k tec system and its pretty loud, just wondering how much difference a mongoose system would make?
whats the pipe size?any issues with fitting?
any info would be good
thanks
huya guys ive got a couple of problems with the front passenger seat on my ph1
basically usually when i pull the lever to fold the seat down to let someone into the back of the car the seat folds down and moves foward, but now it doesnt move fowards, just folds down
also the passenger seat...
yeh thats what i was thinking, the person is saying the offset is 8.5 inches i presume they mean the width??
they dont know what the et is tho?
i think im getting confused?
