hahahahahah you are my hero!!

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.... Stalk with front fog function (ive just sold...

naked pics? PM if needed

they do a 2.25" mild steel one, its not stainless but its still going to out last the car lol

jesus you just get better and better!!!!

yes

awesome! did you crash on the motorway?!

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?

prolonged use above 7200rpm will kill the pistons, wont do any harm on the odd ocassion though

good pics, thank god theirs none of mine with the odd wheels etc lol

emailed dunno if it will be any use but their not bad!

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.

what gearbox do these use is it a JB/JC box or one of the newer ones?

Standard airbox with standard feeds, something im going to look at next. personally the 182 manifold was the best i done (along with decat i got a huge gain out of that, i recon thats where most of my 15lb/ft has came from its 10lb/ft up throughout the full graph and peaks 15lb/ft higher than...

1600 16v or RS injectors fit it?

think standard is 2.25"? dont actually think any aftermarket manufactureres do 2.25" systems for them do they? whats the supersprint cup racer exhausts?

as far as i know i was the highest powered 172/182 of the day, not sure if any actually made over 180? Matched Inlets Inlet Gaskets 182 Manifold Decat K-Tec Stealth ITG Pannel Filter

all the 172's and 182s ran consistent power, as with last year, the ST isnt running right, its getting a diag as its boosting harder sometimes than it does others. and alis V6 ran under powered last time too so either falklands fan isnt up to it for the V6 or they just arnt making book power.

2.25" maby but not 2" i wouldnt think but hey what do i know?!

Results: Martin_172 - 188bhp @ 6510rpm / 160lb/ft @ 5470rpm

a good service isnt going to make much if any difference 2 performance though, apart from if the airfilters realy clogged. maby if it was miss firing due to the plugs or something then yes.

what about 197 top end on a 172 block but with 197 management? That an option?

now before anyone starts the not worth it, too much work usual crap, im not thinking about doing this and looking for advice, im just more interested in the technical side of things as it seems quite an interesting conversion for the future. recently as 172 engines came down in price people...

First RS clio i was in ^ back in the day lol

if hes going to let it go for £2800 then id be wary to be honest if hes being pushy, especially with all this talk of it being "known" on here

id be checking all the steering joints.

afaik a MK1 172 has a longer 5th gear ratio than a MK2 172 and VTS's have quite short ratio boxes? depends if the saxo was standard, keeping in mind a saxo with only a few breathing mods is going to be probably over 140bhp? some standard 172s run as long as 145-155bhp! so its going to be close...

i really really want one only thing is my car is only really a weekend car for going out blasts with the boys in the summer and it spends most of its time in tripple figures speeds chasing other cars so the front end takes a hammering, tyres and brakes are constantly needing replaced and im not...
