find me a case where one has falen off in 10 minutes? stainless lasts longer than mild, its a fact, renaults exhausts generally dont last as long as some other mild ones however they will last a few years, give power and are light, its not a system like some others where its restricting the engine
anyone know if the 182 uses a different/thicker front ARB than the ph1 172? reason being im replacing the full front end setup on my ph1 to freshen it up and while its off thought i may as well do this if its different
cups are generally more to insure than a normal 172 due to higher accident rate (down to the lack of abs and idiots who cant drive without it?!)
your budget is a bit tight, would get you an awesome ph1 172 though!! plus you would have a faster car with better wheels...
i love my k-tec but purely as my car is just a weekend toy, not that its overly loud but if i was using the car daily i would just go standard, even standard with a decat wonder if that would sound ok.
i had Bilstein B14's on my first 172, dont know if i could justify the cost for them again think im going sportlines and brand new genuine dampers all round, possibly 182 dampers all round (already got 182 rears)
what series is it and full regs? how do they verify engine?
id buy a 1.6 16v and put the 1.4 16v engine cover on it lol
172 has a slightly better gearbox however the ratios will be longer i would think but cant confirm it, however its not really better in any sort of way to warrant changing...
2 bolts to remove the rear pad carrier, pop it off, pull out the pin that holds the slider in place, tap the slider out, pads will come out, new pads in place, tap slider back in, pin back in, wind back the caliper piston with a flad blade screw driver, re fit calliper.
can be done in 10 minutes!
