you could reuse it if it wasnt fucked but if its fucked its fucked!

thought about anthracite with a lip the colour of the car but not 100% dont really want to spend money on it but see what happens lol

my old one done that, was the connector on the starter motor, took it off replaced it and it was fine untill it happened again lol covered it in grease the next time and was fine after that!

id have it at that price regardless of belts if its genuine millage and good condition and just get them done asap

very, VERY impressive id swap my 172 for that lol!!!

hopefully not to many future plans for it as i need to get my 172 finished lol but probably just a remap and a set of dampers to help the handling ive had this discussion before with people about just fitting lowering springs to a car and i will say it handled better as standard than it does...

a cup at the RR day made 121bhp with a non genuine replacement on it, then made 170bhp with a genuine reanault one

been there done that lol wheels r going anthracite i think, or if i can get stud adaptors then some 18" laguna wheels or somethin haha

keeping it standard, cheap runaround bla bla bla..... Apex-60mm baby!!! lol just need to decide what dampers i want to pair with them now...

no mate not had it on a RR yet, on a very acurate result RR day as standard it ran 173bhp with just an ITG filter so going on that and the gains ive experianced id say its probably around the high 180's but again thats just what i would expect it to run. cheers for all the advice guys ill have...

keeping in mind replacing dials will give you the millage of the car the dials came from iirc?

are we talking standard inlet manifold as in the inlet manifold in general or standard as in the standard condition of the ports (its running AWT matched inlet)

as title is there any worth while cams that can be mapped to run on the standard ecu, dont want to spend a fortune to run standalone management but would be a nice adition to finish off my build and push it over 200bhp opinions and options?!

nope theirs a centre silencer on the centre section

fastchips RSTuner is compatible with the k4m i think

not just how much torque you have but when you get it, my dci has around 120lb/ft odd (or there abouts?) really low down and its brilliant around town but yet my 172 with 150lb/ft+ mid range isnt as usefull around town just to cruise about with.

same tyres and size wheels and basically same suspension so will be much the same as the normal 172! imo the cup seats are cumfyer!

not got injectors for it yet mate thats the plan though, possibly they would fit im not 100% sure. ill look into it dci65 uses the 1.6 16v box(valver) and the dci80 uses a 172 box(williams), dci 100 like the OP's is a complete different box. im not 100% if you could use an uprated 172/1.6 16v...

whats the differences

awesome, i bet it makes a nice difference having the torque from the 2.2, ive never driven a 2.0 vtec but had a shot of an ek9 1.6 vtec and the lack of torque ment it wasnt that quick unless you were REALLY going for it which gets tiresome after a while!

the 172 has a newer better running engine, the 1.2 engines are crap on fuel economy. i got 280 miles to a tank of petrol when driving my 1.2 hard, i get 260 to a tank in my 172, i will quite hapily take 20 miles less to a tank for 120bhp more!!!! servicing with the exeption of cambelt change is...

do it n throw them in the skip n dad cant do anythin lol, ur dad must think im a terrible influence on you lol

tax yep about £100 cheaper, few hundred cheaper insurance, mpg i got 38 odds in my 1.2 on average and average around 30 in my 172, can get over 40 though and its still drivable, drive a 1.2 like a granny and your going no where, very unplesent. now lets look at a dci, tax is over £100 cheaper...

no a fan of showcages, the real deal or not at all! apart from that looks brilliant ya wee creep!!!

smart arse. you could get a few of those gel pads that absorb moisture to keep it from getting damp underneat, other than that a few coats of wax all over to protect the finish

if you would read it im not slating anyone for doing a rep, clearly stating the only point in doing one is to save on running costs, in which case get a dci or dont bother as a 1.2s not really that much cheaper to run than a 172!!

looks awesome, love the brakes! as said id remove the sidelight bulbs :)

standard turbo is fine to a certain level its its the clutch and injectors that are your problem.

but you guys are talking 172 here, hes got a 1.2, its a totally different sounding system

thats a 172 though will sound different on yours, personally id go for the sport one, supersport will be louder but since its a stealth after all you dont want it being loud!
