on teh end of the viper is a 100mm OD flance to which you secure the ducting to with a jublee etc.
THen you place the end with the ram pipe where you want it to go.
its red only...
I didnt use the std black foi crappy ducting, i got some sire supported 100mm ID ducting for motorsport use, its better....that foil stuff colappses all over teh shop.....
Most race series have rules to adhiere to, and one of them is usually a minimum ride heigt, so they do the best they can within the rules. The big chinky ones on the BTCC races are more there to allow the woder track and thus the wheels which stick out further to be covered, You net nasty low...
yea, but the fan must be SO huge to cause that much of a drain!
you can run oil too cool, but in most circumstances, when your driving, oil temps vary little one up, but water temps can vary quite rapidly. LOwer water temps and generally lower engine temps can help make a tiny bit of power...
yup, mobil 1 is good.......
since your there, you could watch an laugh as they do it, if you bring some chocolate digestives, mechanics LOVE them, and they are greatful for it....and generally treat your car well as a result.
You could just ask them to show yo the filter when done, or mark...
didnt proove anything or anybody wrong, just letting people know what is what....
Did nowt wrong wiht using teh stuff, its not bad oil, but its not the best......
you cant get the ignition system, there is no real point either.
The wheels are kinda hard to get hold of and DT cant get them, try speedline direct for advice. BUt i do rememeber they cost alot!
Mobil 1 is around that price, and when you know what Castol is made of, youll think twice.
Mobil 1, elf, esso etc are all true synthetics, built up from a molecular level.
Castrol is not a true synthetic, its based and manifactuered on Very High Viscosity Improvers which give poor thermal...
I wouldnt bother to use semi synth, when fully is just so much better protection wise and has longer drain intervals, why bother.....its also not really expensive is it.
i like MIntex 1144 pads and plain discs.
I use maxtorque discs.
Tarox is good but SOOOO expensive and really not worth the money they cost, they are not that much better. Pagid are fappin good, soo if you can find some of them.
The ro tating assembly is not the best balanced but the worst culprit is the flywheel. My 172 has been running over a yr with an 8000rpm limit. It does get wheezy near there and there is slightly worse vibration, but nothing major.
But youll never need to rev to 8K, the cam just doesnt make...
When i tested the viper on the 172 for the RS-R conversion it gave a peak gain of 6bhp and made the claimed 10BHP mid range for about 700rpm.......
Best single bolt on you can get in my opinion. the benefit is just a reduction in inlet temps by about 50%, which is nice.
YUp, changing the filter is easy as pie........from all teh horror stories i was planning a few hrs to do it, opened the bonnet and the filter was off in under 30 secs! whered the hard part!??
172 is a tad harder, but im an ickle guy and can sit inbetween the exhaust manifold and...
i dont get it, you dont have to change your de cat back for the cat when you go for an MOT.
As long as it meets teh emissions, even if it has no cat then its a pass. MOT tests have points to meet, having a cat is not one of them.
i got teh older F1s on my car, and i dont rate them at all........Ask Aaron, when were going about the place, the front washes out something nto akin to the rep the F1s have.....
Bridgestone RE-720s i have used and are great, superb grip and great wet weather performance. I would like to try...
wont make any mojor diff, cross drilled discs are there to help stay cool thats all, if you need it it can help, it also stop pad float due to gas build up.
They do tend to crack easier though.
Not a fan of greenstuff, i find they are crap.......
