i know of 3 other cars, they're all within 2bhp of each other, same mods
vipers are so s**t, the fastest 172 down the 1/4mile has one, any maxogen owners done a 13.9sec run yet?????
fit is good (mine was a procomp one, very very high quality, procomp went bust years back unfortunately, now made in far east i believe) bit of cocking about, but it is a french car
i think thats a bit of a fib, IIRC standard bonnet is 11kg, CF is around 7kg (it was many years ago me and dave kirk of k-tec weighed them, i do know it was exactly 4kg difference)
they're ok as a "look good item", but i've been envolved in motorsport composite manufacture for around 2 years now so have become uber anal about composite quality, its by no way a motorsport spec part, but then it isn't sold as that, its simply sold as a "carbon fibre bonnet" which it is

if its an aftermarket part from a boy racer company you have 0 chance, it may even look worse than OE as some of the stuff i've seen is made by stevie wonder
i paid £750 for a new megane RS gearbox, you can have an F4R turbo engine and the gearbox for £500, just need rid now (no inlet or exhaust manifolds and no turbo)
i can sell you all of my old stuff no problem, i have a brand new megane RS gearbox and an F4R turbo engine, you need to find a fabricator/motorsport specialist that can make the gearbox mounts
excuse my rant, but everyone's a f**king expert on here, how about jog on!
unlike 99% of the forum i've been around for a few years, i've been working on 172/182/V6's for years
back in the day i witnessed a 13bhp gain on a standard 172 (belonging to roamer) with a viper and a remap, the...
