Cheers Dan. No mate. I bought the inlet and plenum on here then had the polishing done seperately. The finish isn't the best to be honest but I drive the girls version with the engine cover so I'm ok.

I kicked off around 6pm, 'It won't be too hard' I thought. The strip down began and within 20 minutes I had the strut brace off, coils off and the plenum on the deck. I replaced the plugs while I was there then set on with the inlet. What a b*****d of a job. Bolts hidden everywhere...

Between 5 and 8 bhp and about 15 lb/ft at around 2500rpm.

The difference is noticeable to any outsider. If you drive your car day in, day out, you won't notice a difference as you become acclimatised to the extra pace. However, a friend of mine has a standard 172, every time he drives my car, he comments on the low down pull and the way it just...

Every K800i I know of has an issue of some sort. The most common problem is the 'operation failed' message which prevents launching any application. Others also turn themselves off at will, lock up for 5-10 mins then perform every button pressn in a random flurry of action then lock up again...

K810i will destroy itself within 6 months if it is anything like the k800i. Worst phone i've ever had.

Twin 3'' would be perfect.

My 172 only just passed with a 200 cell sports cat' and that was after 20 minutes of trying. My car is by no means a shitter.

Same principle really. Although you should never actually tap the dent as this will stretch and distort the metal.

What were your results Matty. Did you have a remap at the same time as the manifold?

Yes and no. The car will be quicker in reality becasue there is much more low and mid range torque meaning that the 5k kick won't be as prominent.

i gave it a go earlier. It won't work on smaller, parking size dents. I find the best method for those is a spoon on the inside of the panel, rub gently until the dent is gone.

Will you be dabbling in full live mapping when the rollers arrive Paul?

How/why do they work?

About £500 for circa 185bhp. Will be around £1000 when I get nearer to 200bhp with new manifolds fitted and 2nd remap. I've blagged numerous bargains over the years.

How's the head this morning?

You're so right. LOL

Nightmare of a job. You need someone laying under the car with another person sat on the engine leaning over the back holding a spanner on the bolt heads. If it's your first time, it will take between 2 and 3 hours.

Sweet Jesus, that looks mint. What is it like around the lettering Matty and where is Ilkeston?

A rough guesstimate on cost Rich?

They look good with EK Civic headlights.

As per brake fluid. Is it worth changing or will it make no difference?

I'd also be interested.

We drive Clios'.

That's why I complete the look with 1.2 door badges.

I'm covered by Ensign through Flux. I've just renewed at £523 with 5 years ncb @ 24 and all mods declared. The original quote was £682 with 39% APR on the monthly credit! The price soon changed after a quick phone call.

That bag of crap on airbags posted yesterday definately had some kind of ph2esque dash top. Might be quite an easy swap.

Cheers Fred. Another little job then when it arrives.
