throttle body is easy, its been a couple of months since i last done it but ill give you a quick guide if i can remember.... unbolt the airbox lid (about 8 Torx screws i think!) loosen/remove the jubilee clip holding the inlet bend only the throttle body and remove it (and the airbox lid)...

not read the full thread but ill put my bit in.... the engines vary in power that much that really, you cant pick one thats faster than the other, some 172s make 165bhp or less some make 172 or more! same goes for the 182. but as we all know weight also affects the handling! thats another...

change the gearbox oil more regularly (possibly every oil change while your at it anyway) and be slow and gentle with the gear changes and it should be ok. id avoid full throttle in first gear too (probably useless with that sort of power anyway!)

not sure how much difference a sticking caliper would make, one of mine was sticking the day before the RR actually, sorted it while doing my brakes, deffo worth a look pattern cat is probably your problem you would think, made mega cheap! at least it means you get a better power gain from a...

john just so you know on the patern part exhaust thing, i ran 172.9bhp on a standard 172 apart from an ITG filter, and its running a patern part centre section (genuine backbox and cat though) and the exhaust blowing at the join between the cat and centre section.

the labour is the expensive part tbh and atleast if you've got another car you can take your time and do it over time, getting help from here when/if you need it.

aye brilliant dear, urself?

Hi ;)

im not a fan of boosted FWD cars for track use, prefer the progressive power delivery of N/A ITB - Individual Throttle Bodys

Apparently if your running boost the 1.8 F7P is the engine to use, due to a shorter stroke.

gloss is shiney matt isnt! gloss matt

i got Eagle F1 GSD3's the other day so you can still get them, and i recomend them. on my 3rd front set on the 172 in 8 months

my 1.2 16v failed an MOT on both front disks being cracked to f**k, Black Diamond drilled and grooved disks, wont touch drilled disks again! lucky they had a lip and were needing replaced anyway so wasnt a great loss!

na shouldnt be like that, give them a call ive fitted a couple and never been like that.

would look 10x better if you lacqured it matey! but looking good! hows the brembo and green stuff combo? ive got brembo max and green stuff on the way!

im not totally sure on this one but does the climate control take the outside air temp from the sensor under the passengers wing mirror (the one that gives you outside air temp on the clock/radio screen) so if it was playing up it would think the outside air temp was higher than it actually is...
