People shout about leda because its more of a household name compared to proflex etc...
Bilstein are great bits of kit in my opinion, fantastic build quality never had a problem with them in the 4 years iv been working here.
for inlet, bodies, air horns, fuel rail, linkage and bracket and TPS RRP is £1288.57inc vat IIRC
then you need management, depends what you want to spend on the management side of things, plenty of options
Re: Taking The 172 Of The Road...
if its off the road and sorn it doesnt need insuring, iv had my track car sorn for 2 years and not insured for a period of that time, only reason i insured it was due to the value of parts in it, i couldnt afford to replace them if it was stolen
basically everything that comes from somewhere with the euro is going to have shocking increases!
the fiesta st b12 spring and inverted damper kit has gone from £558 to £865, thats alot of money for springs and dampers regardless of how good they are!
Just thought id let people know that the bilstein kits are due for a price increase as of the 1st of feb!
the current b14 coilover kit rrp is £851inc vat, as of the 1st of feb they will be £1061.45inc vat

totally agree, people need to realise that a rolling road is primarily a tool for tuning a car and fault finding seeing the gain from a modification as you say.
so your comparing the engine with a difference spec?
also at the time our software wouldn't plot above 360bhp...... this is now fixed and it plots to 720bhp
i assume this is the noble your talking about?
Granted Icarus (matt) is a very helpful and knowledgeable guy but surely people who operate a maha rolling road and use other rolling roads, did a lot of looking in to them recently know a fair bit about how the losses are worked out, which is what deaeno agrees with.... im sure even icarus...
Interesting little point to throw in:
when i fitted my coilovers and set the ride heights so it sat equal on both sides i then chucked the car on the scales just out of interest:
FR:338kg
FL:346kg
RR:194kg
RL:156kg
total weight is 1034 with the diag being 47.8%
the rears quite out of...
