so my mrs passed her test yesterday, was going to insure the dci for her so she could drive that but thought id try the 172 and see what quote came back.
ive still got 9 months of a 10 month policy left with admiral so gave them a call.
my mrs is....
18yrs old, passed test yesterday.
how...
if i could go back to my 1.2 i wouldnt have the loud exhaust id keep the standard one.
if standard 172 exhausts were better quality id 90% probably have kept it!
you dont want prolonged use over 7200rpm (which it wont do as standard anyway) but 7k gear changes arnt going to do it any harm, but its past the powerband by then anyway, i change at 6800rpm as thats when mine is starting to tail off
personally i just give it quick launch and once its starting to roll then hammer the throttle that way it doesnt spin in first as long as its dry (and thats with just under 190bhp and 160lb/ft!) im lazy so i keep ESP on for a launch its not like it affects it that much just enough to get the...
open induction kit by any chance? theirs ur problem, and the decat will be causing it to not run the best!.
16v 1.2's get big gains from mapping actually but iirc yours is an 8v? not sure about them.
granted the guys positioned the fan at the wrong place first run and engine suffered heat soak on the first run (cured as said by removing engine cover and opening boot) but power figure wise the rollers were fine!
falklands rollers have always been spot on with my car, at the last RR day they were spot on with all the cars and then again this time once again spot on. focus is having boost problems was nothing to do with the rollers
looks awesome mate is it running yet? are you just using the standard exhaust for now with a custom decat to link both the 172 manifold and standard system?
does the couple have electric power steering or hydrolic?
coupe dials work fine?
got a mate whos got a coupe whos been interested in...
you need to have the higher spec UCH to run them. my expression was wired for them behind the bumper BUT the UCH didnt support it, so they didnt work. i ended up just fitting the lights, not like i use them anyway.
if your uch supports you need....

yeah my eagle F1s on the front were shot so i had the 2 15" wheels from the dci on the front, cheapest tyres money can buy on them it was scarey lol been saving for 15" wheels and toyo R888's for it so trying not to spend lol
hes not having any running problems just slow performance in 1 gear so plugs are going to make f**k all difference imo.
air filters worth looking at but again its not going to suddenly make it "fast" in 5th gear.
brakes binding maby?
right on top of the gearbox (TDC sensor), 2x 10mm bolts holding it on and 1 plug, you can get away with just giving them a clean sometimes. or atleast it worked with me once.
