Rubbish. You might gain 5 bhp at best. What you will gain is a good chunk of mid-range torque. I gained 15 lb/ft at 2.5k. Very useable.

Car's like this are normally a good 2nd hand buy. I guarantee the bloke will spend all of Sunday cleaning and polishing it and he will have a cloth in the gloevebox he uses to clean the door shuts etc. while he waits in Kwik Save's car park as his wife Eileen is doing the shopping.

I have two in syncro'. Sorry Graham, i'm just jesting. I hope you find the info' on the Cup.

They're fantastic: http://www.rse.co.uk/turbozet.htm

Wrap insulating tape around the legs until it fits the hole.

I think it had a Turbozet fitted.

The 172 would be quicker than the RX8 in a straight line. Butaround the 'twisties', the 172 can't keep up.

Can the idler be bought seperatley if I already have the belt and tensioner?

You won't find one for the domestic market. You will be better off taking your bearings etc. to an engineering shop and asking them to do it, won't be expensive. Alternatively, ask a friend or relative if they know anyone with access, I use my old boys at work when needed.

Neil IIRC.

Bump.

Very nice. Any more pic's?

Do you know the part numbers and prices of the parts required for the change along with aux' belt Edde? Looking to supply my own and have them fitted.

Get her down another 30.

What parts are needed for a 172 cambelt and aux' belt change? I have found the following for the aux' belt: Idler p/n 8200 065 479 Belt p/n 8200 226 493 Tensioner p/n 8200 429 703 Does anyone have part numbers for the cambelt and fitting kit and also costs for the above and the cambelt...

They're hidden under the aerodynamic side panels. Looks' like i've been flyered as well, must be Barryboys.

Isn't she a beaut'

Paul will most probably be able to sort it at his old mans place. He should be able to guide you to a good engineering shop if not.

Women are a nightmare when it comes to motors. Why do I need to pay for a service, I don't need new tyres, I fcuking hate this car, blah blah blah....

Don't you mean 8,200? A slip of the hand there i'm sure should your insurance company read this thread. £8,200 was what you told me anyway ;)

Some good pic's there but please lord get some more of that white 172 look-a-like 1.2 up.

I'll agree with your original statement, they're pants. My Yoko' A539's outperform them in every situation.

Some nice motors there but I can't help but feel that none of the wheels other than those on the CTR suit the car in question.

I have never understood why the standard setup is not sufficient. I remember reading somewhere that, upon release, the phase 1 172 would go from 60-0 faster than a Ferrari 360.

33f, 31R.

Looks good. Any side on shots to make a direct comparison? Spacers?

Oops, I didn't realise I'd typed that, it must have been my subconscious taking over. Still, very good work chaps. At least the Fisher Price doesn't look like a 1.2 ;)

Looks good old bean. It will be like watching a game of Pong with yourself and Chris' challenging for best looking invalid blue 182. Nice 3/4 plate as well, much better than that G.A.F cut down number.

Final day.

You will notice more responsiveness now, especially when accelerating on the motorway without changing down.
