slipping alternator belt would be my guess

first of all, how much should I expect to pay for mk1 172 wings and front bumper, and whatever else i need to put them on my mk2 ph1? secondly will side sstrips off a 3door fit a 5door? I want to get some mk2 172 or 182 side strips as they are already painted.

cant help u then, as i dnt know the east mids

hmmm 220bhp tuned f4r engine, running on standard brakes, gmax suspsension, and you did it this way because its cheaper to insure? what have you done, not declared the engine conversion? lol, actually s**t, if you are telling the truth about the engine conversion thats what you've done isnt it!

where ru based?

yep, does it on mine :)

I'll say it again:- when tuners quote gains in horsepower, there only has to be that gain in one section of the power curve. eg, a CHIP coould increase the power in a given section of the powercurve by 20bhp but actually loose power at the top end, they could still sell it as giving a...

^^^thats what i thought.... dont look right on that tho

www.blackcircles.com for tyres halfords have 20% off all alloy wheels so if they seel what your after maybe a good place to start www.topgear.co.uk are also very cheap but I wouldnt recomened there finance

where are you absed mate? i want some colur coding done march time and the only bodyt shop i know of locally is really exspensive.

looks good, i love mk1 172's :D

aux belt is the alternator belt iirc, and mine has been done 3 times by my local garage (dont ask why 3 times, there is good reason but its a long story) and cam belt can be changed by your local garage aswell.

when tuners quote gains in horsepower, there only has to be that gain in one section of the power curve. eg, an airfilter coould increase the power in a given section of the powercurve by 20bhp but actually loose power at the top end, they could still sell it as giving a 20bhp increase even...

PYE21 what have you got against powerflow? I have never heard a bad thing against them untill you've started slagging them off. If you had actually read his post/read it properly, you would see he is getting it done at a discounted rate because of a problem he has had, for them to be selling...

never heard anything bad said against powerflow. Did he goto cardiff and have it done?? first time for evcerything i suppose

i'd try and avoid claiming. ur excesses are probably £250-£500 anyway. i hit sum1 when was a new driver (driving under dads name as it was the car he was using for work at the time) when i came to get my policy it had icreased by about £150-£200 compared to what it was goin to be.

depends on the system, and the decat u get. in its possible that with too large a bore and a straight through decat, that you would have problems. if the system is right for the car in the 1st place a decat will only make the system less restrictive and increase performance. which is what...

thats how

do u mean with the above mods including the 1.6 bottom end you could see 120-130bhp??

yes

on standard shocks i would say upto 40mm u can go lower, but will ruin ur stndard shocks quicker. on uprated shocks as low as 60mm

can comment on costs, but do know that you are best getting an entire 5gtt as a donor car because of all the bits you'll need. something like a rear ended right off or equivalent.

from previous threadsd, i dont think its 7-8bhp. apparently they do give a noticeable gain, but not as good as a full decat. is a worthy addition if you are intending to do future mods

halfords are VERY cheap at the moment with 20% off ALL wheels

apex 40mm springs and someone to fit them - fred does this for £40. IIRC the springs are £90-£100. if you are thinking cheaper than that, dont do it.

hmmm... so nice in yellow

sorry my post was meant as a joke...

i was gonna buy through them, but the finance package they offered me was dodgy to say the least... if anyone wants details on that PM me.

just get a decat cheaper option and better performance increase! i ahd one on my 1.6 and it made a HUGE difference
