Checkmate on me lol I think its only because the ph2 looks closer to a non RS than the ph1 did, meaning the the ph1 is easier to tell apart, and me myself i have to admit i usually have to stare for a sec to see if im looking at an RS or non RS. BUT i really dunt understand why...

you forgot to say if its a ph1 or 2 chap

I dont even know why this is going on, everyone knows they both dont compare to the ph1.......

agreed, i think its a shop, the doors look fake as hell

yup chap,exactly how mine sounds, in fact i like it as the stainless system i have makes it pop and bang lol I honestly wouldn't worry, just keep the revs between 2.5 -3k for about 5 mins and it will be fine from then

this is what mine does and my mates 182, and the 1723 he had before, when its cold it runs very lumpy, and at low revs under a bit of load its like an old mini with the choke out is the best way i can describe lol

A ph1 (which has longer gearing) is approx as follows: 1st 40 2nd 65 3rd 90 4th 122 5th wont hit the limiter, mine has shown 143mph @ about 6500 iirc

when you mean cuts, do you mean the car seems to bog down, causing you to chage down to speed up? if so that is a trait of some clio's, mine does it from cold, till its warmed up. Also if you were at say 70 mph on light throttle on the motorway the coolant can stay under 85 degrees, i travel...

I think an easy way to think is say at 7000 rpm the engine is making 170 bhp, at 7800rpm its making 150 bhp. with the power and torque dropping with the higher you rev, there wont really be an advantage of being higher up the rev range as the car is desgned to have a usefull spread of power...

ah cool, i didn't realise they moved the light too, do you recommend the ECU?

thats gotta be one of the higher miles trophys im gussing chap?

you followed me up past Porche last night, had a bit of a blip through 2nd, and give me a thumbs up at the roundabout :)

hey mark, iv only just noticed, your 'change before i blow up/v-tec y0/opitmum change light (lol) doesn't come on till approx 7700 rpm, does your ecu change the rpm the light comes onj, iirc you have an Rsport ecu?

yeah 7k wont do it any real harm, as long as you warm it up properly, and you dont leave it at 7k lol

very good price, but make sure they know what their doing if your near Bristol i know someone to recommend

A fair few mate, not low put it that way, and it is cracking to drive and the noise is amazing!! the easiest way i can explain it is its like a normal 172 but with more power through the hole rev range, its not like a tuned engine, its like its still n/a, a tiny tiny bit of lag, the noff ya...

mostly yup lol

mine was regd in may 2001 lol the ph1 doesn't have FBW throttle, traction control, stability control, just ABS

the kit is £2,500 + vat so opprox £2800, and i didn't ask if thats fitted, il check lol

yeah they look quite nice generally, just a bit worse in the pics lol

advantages of having a fully stocked valeting bay at my desposal lol

nope matey got too bad for that :(

Shaun Very kindly let me drive his turbo'd 172 today ( thanks again mate!) and thought id give my thoughts on it, well what can i say, took my breath away! when driving normally, it feels like a normal 1*2, and when driven a bit harder the noise is fantastic, and good god it goes! It really...

cheers chaps :)

nice touch from the dealer there nice one mate looks sweet :)

if you have auto headlights they will come on even when you have the lights in the off position so my guess is that

from memory yeah it will fit fine mate, im sure there there the same

lol no mate they always look a bit rough after iv jet washed them i need to get a new black trim for the rear wiper, its gone grey

car looks gorgous mate, whats it lowered on?

makes me honestly want to buy a cup and do that completely gorgous
