That is very impressive dan!! Imo the shorter 5th is only really needed for n/a cars as they need all the help they can get to keep them buzzing along.

I'll add the bits that chip has forgotten: Look the bollox and go like a cat with mustard on its arsehole when turboed. Lol! Wind ups aside though, you could consider changing your 5th gear ratio rather than the f/d. From speaking with James about it after tony mentioned it in one of my posts...

Any visual signs of a leak? If the answers no it could possibly be the head gasket, but its quite rare on these engines.

Good choice! You will not be disappointed!

No worries mate!

Yes got one fitted in mine mate. They've updated it since which is the one shown in your link. No messing, easy to fit and good company to deal. Plus it's not a dash dodger either, which was what I wanted.

My 15" turinis weigh less than that and they're et35.

An rs192 won't fit a 172 as its designed for a 182. Btm do a stealth version of the yozza which is quiet and there's also a btb stealth (which I run on my cup) that's also quiet. Both are worth a look if quality, fit, stealth and not a lot of noise is what your after imo.

Look in icemans thread for his 182. He pissed around for ages trying to get his to stop leaking from the rear main crank seal and there's a fair few pictures on there of how it should be fitted. Hope that helps.

Sorry but I lol'd out loud at this! Well done that man! On a Quaife diff note though, I ran one in my turboed mk3 Astra coupled with a straight cut gearkit also from Quaife and I liked everything about how the Quaife put the power through to the front wheels. It wasn't just some s**t chipped...

I wouldn't personally mate no, but its your choice really. If you would feel happier running on 5w/40 then change it, but I can't see it getting rid of the tapping noise.

Yes mate makes perfect sense in that respect. If the car was developed with the ring in mind a 5 min lap time is a real possibility, but imo I only think it would be a mid to high 5 min lap. The ground effects that the grp c Porsches were running were significantly helping their lap times as...

You seen the in-car footage from Derek bells 956 when bellof comes past in qualifying trim?! Lol! He passes bell like he's stood still and bell does a sub 7 lap!! Flol

Karousel and mini karousel would be, erm, interesting to say the least!! And don't even start me on Pflanzgarten 1&2! Lol! I think low 6's but not sure they would get into the 5's, but nevertheless I'd love to watch it! I see Porsche have done a 6:57 in the 918 as well. Boring lap to watch tbh...

No it's not ruined mate. Take it to a garage or engineering shop if its stripped the thread out the head and get the plugs replaced. Don't let a garage try and take the piss out of you and tell you it needs a new head without a 2nd opinion. Where are you based? Try one of the specialists on here...

Yeah it's had a bit of remodelling I think mate, but its definitely had resurfacing. There's a few bumps that have disappeared (apex at schedenkreuz) but some have appeared (hatzenbach using kerbs and inbetween Pflanzgarten 1&2 is a nasty hump that throws the car over to the right as you turn in...

Thought as much! Lol

I can get all 4 wheels off the ground at Pflanzgarten at the nurburgring! Lol! Probably doesn't count though!

I didn't like to say for the risk of a flaming! Lol! I run Mobil 1 Motorsport in mine without any issue.

I'm not entirely sure I'd worry about that tbh. Pretty sure mine makes a similar noise. It's 100% NOT the big ends going though that's for sure.

They'll more than likely remember my cup tbh mate! Lol! Neil is gaffer and I'm 99% sure he will remember it from the colour choice on the cage, wheels and other details.

You just need to know the right people mate. Pm me if your after a Quaife or a gripper ;)

I'll 2nd that!! They're that good I travelled up from Derbyshire to get them to do the paint/repairs on my track cup. The guy who runs the place said, 'we're a bodyshop, we can do anything' and it clearly shows from the standard of work they put through!! True enthusiastic genius!

Pete - mines a hero3 silver and its mounted to the main roll over hoop. You've seen my video of the nurburgring lap, so maybe worth trying mounting it higher up? I always have it in spot mode as well

Another one for me to watch later!

Thats the best way to drive the ring mate tbh. Thanks! Hope you watched in full HD!

No mate never had an off there but witnessed a biker death first hand. We got arrested on the spot and had to prove our innocence. Video camera in the car ftw, but not a nice experience all the same. Believe it or not, I wasn't pushing that hard in the 8:31lap either. Possibly looks/sounds...

Excellent! Its normal for me to go over there and do 30+ laps when I'm there tbh which when spread over 10 years + of going soon adds up to a lot of laps!! Lol! I've got to have done in the region of 350-400 laps not including the many thousands done on the ps2....... Lol! I know every bit of...

Track knowledge is the key chip, as I'm sure you know! With that place it's a necessity!
