A loud knock or clunk is usually mount related, I only got rid of my clunk completely when I polybushed the dogbone and fitted K-Tec (vibra-technics) engine and upper gearbox mounts.

These anti-modified car rules were meant to come in at the start of this year, the fact it keeps getting delayed would suggest maybe they've realised that not only will it difficult to implement, but destroy quite a lucrative industry that makes millions a year and keeps 1000s of people in work.

I looked up the tax on a Subaru WRX the other day, it's the same as my 172, just as well as that's my next car. MPG on the other hand. :S

That can't be for a Ph1 172?

I made 173bhp at a RR day with a V6 box, matched inlets, Piper 2.5" exhaust & a Fastchip 98ron map. So any proven gains from breathing mods is something that always gets my attention.

£180ish.

So basically very similar to the K-Tec kit, but home made.

Got any pics of your pikey IK, or is it secret technology?

Wow, that accelerated like f*ck right up to the moment it exploded. lol

Any mods you add after the live map won't do the car any favours as the map won't be set up for them.

If it's a generic map then fitting mods or leaving them off won't make any difference to the car's running, you can optimise the air in, air out with filter, exhaust, inlets etc, but you can still remap a standard car no problem. If you were to get a live map on some rollers, then having all...

I've already sold everything I had apart from the back seats, but I need them come MOT time.

You have my sympathies.

I stupidly used the one in Coventry, because I live in Coventry. ;) Doesn't matter anyway, the next car i'm buying is a WRX wagon, Clio's can do one, apart from the dog kennel I bloody love that car.

Bunch of f*ckers didn't say sh*t to me when I bought parts last week.

The cheapest one.

If only we could get them to do something filthy with a gear stick, now that would be worth seeing.

No tits and no curves, imo that's a man.

Nothing really any more, it's intermittent starting issue has fixed itself thanks to day of drag racing, I don't know how or why, I just know the problem's gone. Oh, the drivers seat's a bit sticky when you try to slide it forwards.

More like 'What Tw*t' magazine. lol

Nice pics dude. :cool: It's not a pic of the dog kennel doing burnouts or handing someone there arse, but it'll do. :approve: This thing was stupidly loud!!!

As long as i've got the money and tyres, i'm up for blasting the dog kennel at every 'event' meet now.

They just remind me of the alloys my Mum has on her knackered old Mondeo shed.

Get the 1.2s powder coated a different colour.

The run I beat you on was all down to reaction time, you were actually quicker than me over the 1/4. I can't believe you did a 14.4, how the f*ck did you manage that, tyre pressure fiddling or something? That's actually pissed me off even more now. lol Everyone seemed to be able to get into...

I really wish there was one of mine at full blast, or doing a burnout. :dapprove:

I've looked through all your pictures, not one of the dog kennel. :cry:

20 psi, I didn't realise they needed to be that low? I had road pressures in at 33 psi, that along with the temperature and head wind explains why I couldn't get into the 14s next time i'll try lower the pressures on R88s or something.

I know, I know. :o He opened the bonnet, gently jiggled the battery which i'd strapped down so hard it's rock solid, rocked the drivers seat, looked in the boot and said 'right no problem'. At least now I know what's involved for next time. I'll be taking the tray off today and throwing it in...

I got so excited when I beat you off the line and stayed in front right up until you overtook me just before the line, I only lost by a car length, i'm guessing you either wheel span or bogged down off the line, or it was broken and that's why it's going into the garage? I think that run I did...
