its all about flow and not speed. As i mentioned many times, all you are doing is increasing the VE (volumetric efficiency) or the ability to fill the cylinders to 100% which is hard. Getting 100BHP per ltr is hard work, granted not as hard on a 16V as an 8V. On an 8V such as the 205 as...

run it for a while then check the plugs or get a colour tune from halfords or get is diagnosed at a garage. might run lean, can say for sure

mine idles at 800, but its controlled by a step motor, frikkin annoying.....not much to do nless you wanto to buy new idle control valve and throttle potentiometer etc.

the 1.4 8V engine has water jackets/liners instead of a solid block. I was just wondering if anybody know if it was possible/safe to bore out these liners to get a larger capacity?

you might want o consider the weber alpha kit instead which is basically a 38mm twin choke carb with a potentiometer added so you can control fuelling wit an ECU. probably a grand cheaper than throttle bodies and just as good.

i would stick with the 195s as the mk2 172 has 16" wheels with 195/45/16 tyres and they are identical chassis.

a larger footprint will mean ultimately more grip. However, grip is a completly different thing to handling. The wider tyre will affect the chassis dynamics....a bit

but why such a ned for the same radius? the difference is not that influential. The main point is the increase in footprint size, its 2cm wider!!!

the williams is an even better drivers car and with a few mods its not hard to push out the same power as a 172 or get close to 200 BHP. with Some wilder cams, keep the original induction system and use a free flow panel filter or use something like a pipercross viper. Get somebody like...

but why so wide?

why do you want such wide tyres?, you will need at least a 7J wheels for that or it will look silly. Whats wrong with 195?

get some group n discs.....still the best and cheaper than tarox by 10 miles...... raldes.co.uk
