Re: r26 progress thread. (mods delete old thread)
Because Naith always does it with his car at meets etc.
I'm impressed with your quick progress though mate. Good mods you've done there. I'd have gone straight for stage 2 personally to save on mapping costs but I suppose you get to feel the...
The 182 uses improved inlets as well though, especially if RS stamped. So maybe this makes it feel a bit more torquey as well.
The manifold definately makes a difference but for me theres no way i'd spend a fotune upgrading to it. Matched inlets and a remap for pretty much the same money as...
That doesn't sound right, the Clio should be quicker straight line too. The Mini Cooper S Gen 1 were only 163bhp, power to weight of 143bhp/ton. Evo recorded the 0-100 time of 19.9 for the Mini and 17.3 for the 172 Cup.

Only just seen this thread its really impressive. I'm loving the sound of a boddied 16v in it.
Are the 16v engines cheap to get boddies for or just as expensive as a Clio?
The box on my 172 was a bit crap when cold. To be honest they're not a great box any time but until the oil has warmed up they arn't the most pleasant of boxes to use.
I'd only go for a FF with cup pack personally. It would be nice to have the same spec at least as a 182. Even the 182 cup had electric windows, cruise control, AC, etc.
I wouldn't touch a 3 year old 197 with 110K on the clock. You put 30K more on it and you'll be literally begging people to buy it off you come resale. If you plan on keeping it long term then providing its all sound then go for it.
If I'm back from the lakes in time I will go. I need to show the NW lot up in my Mazda 323 Fastback :cool:
I'll leave it anywhere unattended, if they stole my blackberry it would cost me more lol
I think all the 1*2 owners should go to who ever mapped this car to have theres mapped to 230bhp. Value for money mod init ;)
I love how little some people know about cars tbh.
