172/182 no where near it, maby a 200?

typical cs though she knows she was too close or to fast or what ever the reason was that caused it, but you always get some muppet rubbing it in, as she said she was calling him a w**k because he was trying to claim he had been hit when he hadnt!

if thats 205lb/ft it will stay with an st, my old dci 100 @ 130bhp/190lbft used to stay with them no problem above 60

haw!

Correct. I hate diesel too hence why i drive a fast petrol, because lets face it, no one wants to drive a gutless slow underpowered petrol engine in a heavy car. i can cruise along on a big wave of torque nice and cumfy getting massive mpg, then when i want something fun to drive i take out...

GT's are fine as long as you have the right spec under the bonnet!

its the engine to go for! big meaty mid range on it, not quite as good as the mk2s on fuel, will average 50mpg driven quite hard, 6 speed box

id just stick an rstuner map and pipercross filter on it myself, no need for a rolling road run to show your car still doesnt have 170bhp lol

i done this a few years back too and it obviously wasnt as good but you get used to it, my mrs has a Cabasse setup in her 1.6 16v and its much better than the standard unit, id get one of them if your going standard

ph1 has bigger inlet valves and has a cable throttle body, id imagine you could use the fly by wire body on it but not sure if you would need the ph2 inlet manifold too, not sure if there is any other differences, but you can run them anyway i know a few doing it

that exhaust is a work of art i love it!

sounds possibly like what ever killed your first cat has killed the 2nd.

i filled mine up for £75 lastnight, that will last me nearly 800 miles though!

i wouldnt bother fiddling to much with them, if it was mine id be looking at EGR removal and a remap, not sure how good the intercoolers are on the 85., if its easy enough to swap the 106 turbo id go for that but not sure if its more complicated being variable geometry as standard just with...

personally id rebuild the top end so you have a nice fresh top end. no need to go changing engines.

good idea id stick the turbo and manifold on your current engine assuming it fits and go about it that way rather than swaping engines, i bet the n/a engine would be fine!

first time ive ever saw a 182 with an exhaust that sits perfect, modified or standard!

i know dude, im just saying all your mates with imprezas are telling you you will spend all your time fixing it, it will be more reliable than their cars! i know from first hand experiance as my mates all drive jap too!

supersprint make an exhaust manifold for it, this with a decat and exhaust system will give a small gain, pannel filter in your airbox, stick a ph1 airbox on it if theres room, biggest gain will come from a remap, but really as above wouldnt bother. could probably use a 1.6 16v K4M bottom end...

will be more reliable than a bloddy impreza anyway lol

something not right with the suspension on that!

A.C.A.B

yeah its a tank! thats what i decided on matey was killing me running my old ph2 172 every day so sold it for the dci 100, ran that for a year, was actually great fun for the year i ran it on its own, then bought the ph1 as a toy, then after 2yrs with the 100 ordered the GT DCi

my 100 used to do 60mpg daily when running 130bhp/190lb/ft, cant remember what that was to a tank but it wasnt much off what my old 65 was!! currently got a DCi 106, its no where near as good on fuel does 50mpg daily driving the same as i drove the 100!

na gearbox is sound, same gearbox used in all mk3 clio non RS cars just takes a few days to get used to, i much prefer it over the JB3 and JC5 used in the 65 and 80/172

na deffo not, 100 is a cracking car

they are awesome cars, 100 is the one to have though!

Year/Model/Mileage: 2003 172 52k Modifications (power related): ITG Pannel Filter Venue: Falkland Performance 172.9bhp 145lb/ft same car same venue a year later, AWT matched inlets, samco bend, ITG Filter, 182 manifold, Decat, K-tec stealth 188bhp 160lb/ft

i cant seem to see how it works without taking the car apart, its making a loud whine, whats the best way to go about it? how do you tension it?
