Saw this on the way home from work about 4.20pm, RB with stripes and Recaros, CS sticker on the rear glass, looks pretty tidy. Gave you a 'cool as can be' aknowledgment wave as i drove past :o
It didn't miss a beat all day
With the geometry set, new Spax coilovers in place, Carbon Lorraine RC5 pads, Whiteline RARB. It felt bang on everytime i took it out :cool:

What turbo and ECU are you going for? To me they are the items that will cost the most.... Unless they can be sourced 2nd hand in decent working order.
The down pipe and manifold can be bought from ED
FMIC and pipe work potentially E Bay
Can source the spark plugs, sensor, drain feeds.
Im not...
Its an option, I'm mulling over the Engine Dynamics conversion kit as pound for pound when you add up the parts list (new parts) it might not be far off their all in price. I don't have a problem fitting the kit, I guess just thinking of how to finance it without credit. There's a 172 Cup...
Was talking to a friend last night about doing a turbo conversion, or setting my sights on going down the turbo route. It's something that has bugged me for over a year, having had relatively quick R5 GT Turbos back in the day I've always missed turbo power, the torque.
Anyway, his reply was...

I live in Thundersley but head over to 2 tree to hit a few balls at the driving range every now and then. Tell a lie I took some pics of my old white track 172 in the car park last year.
I believe the 15mm spacers up front are the 'A' centric type, requiring the longer bolts. I'm using the original wheels bolts at the rear with 5mm universal spacers, wheels areET43, no scrubbing. Id love the TPI bolts but can't imagine they do them longer.
Chip, is that with the Focus FMIC in place? I was just wondering how efficient these universal intercoolers that are on E Bay for the Clio and K Tecs FMiC. 1 can assume that on low boost with the FMIC size there might not be anything to worry about or whether a little R&D went into charge temps...
