A nyc sound under the hoos? WTF does that mean, I understand nyc is short for New York City, but i'm lost on hoos. lol

'You'll get looks' lol. Yeah I bet, looks of disbelief as you try to convince people that a 1.6 is really a 2.0L.

Take it as a sign that you should be getting stuck into that car. ;)

The sump tank, just make sure there's a decent block of wood between the car and the jack to spread the weight.

Ahh right'O, i've never taken the bottom one off so didn't know that. :) I've replaced the engine mounts before, so I supported the engine that time, but I had no reason to remove the inlets. I learn something new every week on here. :approve:

Why would he need to support the engine if he's only taking the inlets off? I took the upper inlet off the other week and it couldn't have been simpler, you just unplug all the hoses, HT leads & sensors, then undo the bolts and Bobs your uncle.

10 second search on google. The pipe comes from the acoustic valve behind the headlight and clips into the airbox, if you don't have one it's possible someone may have removed your acoustic valve, or just removed the pipe in an attempt to get more induction noise. You could just get a length...

1:23 of the vid mate, 177.1bhp.

It must have been 12% because 155 + 12%= 173.6

The RR guys told us to add 15% for drivetrain loss and something to do with the rollers. So mine was making 155.6bhp atw, so add 15% and you get 173.6bhp atf. Edit : Actually I just did some maths and 155.6 + 12%= 174.272 and 155.6 + 15%= 178.94.

This is what everyone's made last time, obviously it depends on what mods you have.

Me and a mate fitted these to mine on my driveway and they felt almost exactly the same as the oem mounts, the only difference is it reduced engine movement so throttle response was slightly improved, and it stopped the manifold knocking on the heat shield under acceleration. Tbh I really can't...

I feel another obsession coming on.

Minty McMinterton!!! Someone's looked after that, looks brand new.

I've had 182 cup dampers on the back of my 172 for 5 years.

I honestly don't think it'd make any difference if I removed my exhaust completely, my Piper stealth is that f*cking loud.

Brutal!!! Another itch i'll need to scratch at some point.

Re: how much have u sunk into ure clio I've spent so much money on the dog kennel that eventually, i'll end up with a brand new car. Oh and OP, you keep at it mate, dyslexia is a terrible thing but you'll get there in the end.

Lets hope it's a couple of dodgy spark plugs.

Yeah good luck catching that. lol

Most of that is strapping it down, then un-strapping it.

I force them of the road. Tbh I stopped doing anything quite some time ago because I just kept getting blank looks, so I only wave if I see a CS sticker, even then I still get blank looks most of the time. I came to the conclusion that only a very small amount of people are members of CS, so...

Am I the only one who keeps reading it as the Bugatti Gandalf?

It looks like Batmans weekend toy.

The thread I read about the 172cup said it's down as a 4 seater on the log books.

I always put my seats back in for mot time, i've had testers be a bit funny about there being belts but no seats, so I just bolt the whole lot back in once a year, only takes 5 mins. Oh and cups don't have a middle seat belt, it was in a thread the other week with pics to prove it, there's...

Well bugger me, I had no clue that was there, I usually just hold it while i'm filling up.

Jesus, if that's the state of the workmanship I might just stick with my V6 box. :S

So I take it it's a lot easier to remove than fit then?

Got bored of that half way through, also is it me or does the narrator sound like Steven Hawkin's computer?
