So we could use this for a 1/4 mile competition on an airfield strip yes??
Yup, exactly :)
I went out and tested my unit and a m8s unit yesterday, before the heathrow meet, and even on the wet roads, the two units were very...
Heres where I saw it first and hence ordered it.

Yup, I had mine delivered a few days ago.
Only tried it in teh wet so far tho, got 7.74 and 7.85 with traction control off with loads of wheel spin on teh wet roads.
If you can stretch to it, Id go with the Pioneer.
Have you considered the Alpine 9812? That way you can keep the stalk controls AND the dash top display.

Ive got a K-Tec Twin 3" on my 172.
Love it, burbles nicely on tickover. Little noisy at 70, but fine at 80 etc, I guess there is a resonance point at 70 which causes the higher noise.
Only just got my 172 back from Reno, and now Ive got a bloody stone chip! :(
Its up near the rear view mirror, just on the edge of the shaded bit. Nice Spider crack, about the size of a 50pence coin and it appears to have split the layers :(
Drove on the motorway this morning.
In gear acceleration seems better, with a lovely sound as well.
/Note to self "Stop booting it just to hear induction noise"
How things have moved on since I posted here in my "1st ClioSport" thread :)
I bought myself a 2003 172 in Flame Red. Ive now had it for 3months and so far have done the following:-
PiperCross Viper
K-Tec Twin 3" CatBack System
Origin b2
OMP Rear Strut Brace
OMP Front Strut Brace (not...
:o
Theres more to come? wooohooooo.
I do need to put the ducting in tho :( As so far I only have the viper.
Whats the best way? Inner Arch off? There isnt much room to get the piping anywhere else.
Anyone have any fitment pics?
Just fitted my PiperCross Viper kit.
OMFG!!!! The noise it makes, truely sensational.
Pick up is better, engine seems more responsive.
My love for my car gets more each day.
Started with a standard 172 in Jan, now have a K-Tec Twin 3" and a Pipercross Viper, combined they make the...
Well I got the car back................
......with a nice chip in the paint about 1-1 1/2 inch back from the passenger door handle on the rear 1/4 panel.
They tried to use the line "it must have already been there", trust me you dont need to have 20/20 vision to see it!!
So after much...
NickyB, My manual is at home so couldnt check else I would.
I am at work, and home is 1/2 drive away. So hence asked here :)
Ive already got a grievance with them coz they have chipped the paintwork on the rear 1/4 panel.
Ive just collected my 172 from the dealer.
After driving a short way I tried the brakes. At 30mph I could press the brake pedal to the floor and the ABS did NOT cut in :confused: I guess this isnt normal?
Where is the Brake Fluid resevoir? So I can check the fluids?
Heres hoping I get a nice call from the dealer today, I went mad over the weekend trying to get anywhere in the Corsa :(
Im guessing that even if the parts arrive today, they wont have it all fixed and put together within a day?
