its probably the two nuts that are an absolute tw@t which bolts up the cat to the manifold...... we put the de cat on mine, all nice and tight, then it developed a rattle, on inspection we found these nuts loose again, the cat must have moved slightly (bedded in) worth a check

i was there last night with the mrs, around half 5 bloody COLD!

i can also confirm its a b*****d!!!!

freds work, :) imo powder coating is ALOT better than the O.E paint they come with....

they'll be fine! quick and easy!!!! mine were :o

it was the rear shocks on mine, they were awfull, maybe just a bad batch? i did indeed fit the rubber cups (only the top half mind as the adjusters sit in the rear trailing arms).... to prove it was the dampers, i fitted the O.E reno units for a day and the noise vanished.... i think it was...

i'm not convinced you'll get this from the gaz units, i never did

yeah, thats right, the gaz units themselves are the same as the 172 units though.... its a shame you can't get any H&Rs etc for the 182, you either have to pay maga money for leda's etc, or gaz, there is nothing inbetween

the gaz ones are poor, ok for the price, but i beleive FK's are better. on my car the gaz ones were very noisy, especailly the rears, and made the ride very choppy etc, i now have h&R's and the difference is like night and day, MUCH better

did have a momo millenium sat at home in the summer but it was nearly the size of the original, and i wasn't too keen on the center either! sold it on ebay... another smaller momo wheel is in the pipeline ;)

i'll have to get some pics tommorrow, as they aint comming out too special, too dark :( as for the wheels cheers ;)

lets swap cars ;)

i'm not too sure, i beleive you can get two versions of subframes from cobra...... i'm sure there is an extra low version..... tbh, if they are lower, it aint by alot, still the subframes aint too much to buy (£70) and i might look into that another day seats are supurb though :approve:

seats were ok, mine had the pre tensioiner recall, so i had to snip the wires,(no plugs) and re solder back together.... i havn't modified em.....yet, has anyone else?

cheers, though not nice to fit on xmas eve on your own in the cold :dapprove: still it was worth it, :D awsome round corners, really pin you in!!

well had abit of a polish today to keep the paint protected underneath all the crap off the roads, and also a few pics of the new seats fitted xmas eve!!! :) and some of the car :cool: nice and low ;) :cool:

no worries, love the car mate :)

i have a viper, and initially i had the caf connected straight to the filter housing... (force fed from the fog light) but imo i found the throttle response alittle 'slack'. I have now pulled the caf about 2-3" away from the filter,(pointing at it) and imo it works much better, the response now...

yeah, that was my thinking, i pulled the trims off before i put the seats in the loft, i'll take alook on wednesday!

hows the rear dampers? mine had something like this, and if its lowered on aftermarket springs with O.E dampers they might be shafted......... just a thought

very nice mate!i've just installed some cobra daytonas today.... question, with regards to the seat belt plug, can you see all the pretentioner workins? you can on mine....

damaged the lambda probe/wiring when jumping over the speed bump..... i had a problem with the plug on the first probe, and everytime i tried to press the loud pedal it spluttered/wouldn't rev etc check both plugs/probes under the car

bump! i need his too, xmas project!

I know that, but most people on here seem to refer to the 172's as mkI and MKII....

rear of the car dude.......

well mine was de catted too.... it sounded ok, but then the centre section developed a rattle, majorly pissed me off so i sold it, i prefer it with just the viper on. Miss the tickover sound though :(

not the tin of tyre foam rolling round in the boot.... daft i know, but it happened to me!!!!

can get boomy at 70, took mine off, put the o.e back on, oh and twin deffo......

this kit will fit mkII 172's (cups etc) as the airbox is the same!!! only MKI's are different
