Re: Road/Track 172 Nice length ;) do you think you could squeeze in the angled spacers too? It might put the filter in a better position as well as more length

If its for the TCE you want the K03S, it'll feel much better on the road than the K04 will.

Re: Ph1 172 Cheers :) This is the cheapest place. The price includes runners and steel side mounts too, delivery is free as well IIRC. http://www.kitpartsdirect.com/products.php/store/85/c1/418/c2/4015/w/RMD_Max_Protection_Single The seats are the same as the Sparco Pro 2000, its just they...

Re: Ph1 172 It's too much camber. Tyres don't heat up properly. Also it makes the braking less stable. That's the decision I need to make! I'm leaning towards ITBs though, may as well go all the way!

Re: Ph1 172 Studs were about £25 and the spacers were £40 but it meant I could get rid of the spigot rings and wheel bolts

Re: Ph1 172 Not done much with it recently. I'll be picking up a 1.2 top dash and a Sabelt wheel next week. Otherwise I just started preparing for something....

I've got Samsung 5.1 system at the moment but the receiver won't play discs anymore and half the speakers aren't wired up because of the wires. Is there anything half decent (I'm not a true audiophile) for around £200-300 that has wireless speakers, will play cds and dvds (blu-ray would be nice...

I bought the one above it, the UE40F6670 Its pretty decent and it was cheaper than the 6500 when I got it last week.

If you're going to fork out on a RS2 and mapping with it being a fun car I see no reason not to go all the way with ITBs. No compromise solution to more power. A used RS2 inlet + mapping is going to be around £1300-1500. Used ITBs and ECU can be had for around the same, then set aside £300 for...

I've got a Haze 18ah. It's great about about £45. Used some heavy duty Velcro to fix it. Get the gel type battery, they're happier with constant recharging and being drained.

Yeah it's 98ish. I think with longer trumpets it would break it and make more use of the 8500rpm limit.

Yes it'll be in Dave's mk1. He had the genuine RS kit and spoiler off my mate.

I'm sure it's 2045cc so not the 1988cc it used to be. But still a 2.0. It made 317bhp higher up but the torque dropped off so it has been left as you see above. Not sure what the peak rpm was for 317, although the way the graph is going I'd guess about 9500. I can't remember if the bodies are...

I have the same mods along with a ported and polished head and a 182 manifold. I made 184bhp on Dyno Dynamics rollers at RS Tuning where Paul mapped it. To break 200bhp (I hope anyway!) I'll be fitting ITBs

Nice work on the old girl!

Scorpion RS192, BTM, Pure Potorsport. They all sound nice imo.

Good work, should go alright! What's the front/rear bias on the transmission?

Never had problems with my DS2500 on track. Try not to put too much heat in, get the braking done quickly and carry a bit more speed. They're not the best pad granted, but the dust doesn't eat paint and they're a decent all rounder. I will be trying Yellowstuff next, At £60ish for a set its...

2.0 Zetec on Catcams, ported head, forged bottom HC end, dry sump and AT Power bodies. It was run in a dyno cell. Over 200lb/ft doesn't seem too shabby.

Why's that?

They look identical to the normal ones bar the wheels with stretched tyres.

Just watched the video, yes they're extra. The ITBs don't come balanced either... It's good to know the 'kit' needs so many extras beforehand.

Am I correct in thinking the DTH ITB kit from Ktec comes with the locking aerocatches?

If your trailering and competing I'd get the gripper with something like a 4.3 final and the shorter 5th gear. Then get the 422 cams, they don't lose much bottom end but make more at the top than the 421.

One of the best things I did to mine was change the final drive from 3.89 to 4.07. If you can get hold of a good 172 cup gearbox its really worth doing whilst everything else is out. As is a Quaife diff but that's at least £1200 including a rebuild.

422 and 423 need aftermarket management, stronger valve springs and bigger reliefs in the pistons. So I assumer you have these things when you say the specs would suit. From data I've seen if you want peak around 7.8k rpm you want the 423s but thy lose out to the 421s below 6krpm. I guess the...

I've used them before on the road, they're pretty good. Not used them on track but I've heard reports of them standing up to abuse well and not going off. They use them for drifting before they stay so predictable but with a smoking additive

I've driven both. Neither are exciting enough as a second/weekend car, my ph1 beats them both hands down. As a daily driver the Clio is better.

They're the same. Only 182 cup shocks are different.
