the waste gate is operated by an actuator which operates on boost pressure AND vacuum, so on deaccelaration the waste gate is opened, not as much as when set boost is achieved, but i also sisnt say that it completly bypasses the turbo, otherwise that would contradict what i said about the turbo...

hope it doesnt keep the chrome wheels.

he could have saved that,he deaccelarated on the corner,causing the back to slip out, he then braked, he should have nailed that throttle to pull it out of that skid, and he would have atleast avoided the gravel.

its not to my taste tbh, but it does look nice, just i wouldnt have it. Can you take pictures of the underneath of the bonnet where the bad boy has been welded on?

ah, i mis interprted your post, i read it as just a manifold and cams, what you list there is good for 20bhp.

No it was directed at acid zero. its fine to drive with it,but not for 1000's of miles, try and get it done.

Donsrno1: thrust bearing is what pushes against the diaphram of thew clutch, as the clutch is spinning with the engine it needs to be able to spin itself. They are cheap enough, but the gearbox has to come off to do it.

clutch is on its last legs.get ya wallet out!!

shouldnt be reaching thje shift light when its cold, but yes, its because the limiter is lower

the turbo will never stall. Dont forget that it is spinning at 20,000+ rpm on tick over. And jsut because the throttle is closed, doesnt mean that the turbo stops, the exhaust gasses will still be going out, thus still spinning the fan. The only time a turbo stalls is when the exhausr gases do...

somerset

cupra's drink fuel, not as quick, and its an ibiza.

sure it may look like a baked bean, but how many other baked beans do 0-60 in 7 seconds and 130+mph

mines 40mm lower, and the drain is a good 2in deep.

also a 4-2-1 manifold and cams DONT gain 20 odd bhp. i do hope your not one of these peope who see 5bhp gain on the side of a k+n box, and think oo my 172 is now 177.

the boot badges are.

more than likely warped discs.

pretty much yes, theres an airfield where i live in middlezoy, i do my high-speed runs there.

i cant find the pot hole that did it, how ever there are a few drain covers that are below the surface of the road, so i'll try claiming on those.

you have to be over 18 :(

why not just try it on a privete track like mine

:rolleyes:

just going into mcd/pizza hut/blockbuster about 1030 last night?

ebay? i bought my mk1 with 39k on the clock, 1 owner(65yrs old!!!!) garaged for 4500!

172 on a private track http://media.putfile.com/SV_A0194

could be the thrust bearing, but its not ususally loud, so it maybe your clutch is kaputt

gotto admit tho, if hes not going to keep his eye on the car whilst its bouncing off the limiter doughnuting around him, he should be a little more carful, i wont say he deserved to die, beacuse noone does, but as i said he should have kept his eye on the car, not impressing the crowd, and...

exaltos have a crap compound, they go too hard too quickly, toyos stick to the road like to a blanket, before i lowered my 172 i'd get the inner rear wheel lifting before it understeered!
