Somebody painted the plenum red!!!!! What were they thinking????? Its easy to do just need to be really careful with masking it all off before you do it!! Was suprised how simple painting the engine cover was though! So i get your approval even though its not a cup?? lol :)

Mine done this and it turned out to be the pre-tentioner sensor in the seat belt buckle!!!

haha the maxogen makes up for it though!!!! lol Here's mine (but obviously still not as nice as yours ;))

Your just saying that!!! lol ;) My engine bay looks good but not sure how to add a pic on someone else's thread. There are pics on here somewhere in the media section though.

Now now you two, both of your cup's are much better looking than my 172, does that make you feel better!!!!! Lol :rasp:

Haha dont temp me, I drive past one everyday on my way to the station and it has the stripes and has been lowered!!!! I think the 182 looks brilliant in that blue!!!!

I was planning on going up to a megane sport after my 172 but after seeing this cup I may reconsider ;) I want one!!!

Im not too sure on it tbh, I really like the 197 shape but this may be like the new megane coupe and itl be a grower!!! Bet it shifts though!!!

A women that drives a clio cup with a maxogen, do things get any better???? Lovely car, great job!!!! Bet it sounds brilliant!!! :approve:

What like a small box to house the cone??

Does anybody have any ideas or pic for heatsheilds to fit a Powertec cone filter, it doesnt come with one and seems to be ok without it but I would like to reduce any hot air getting in as much as possible. Iv seen the crappy metal ones you can get for like £20 to clip over it but i dont like...

Looks really nice mate, how much did it all come to??

Thanks, I know it may not be to everyones taste but I think it suits my car quite well. ;)

I only did it because the blue hosing and red brace looked a bit odd together with the standard engine cover. The pics dont really do it justice, looks so much better in the flesh!!!

No i took the engine cover off and did that with a Plastkote clear primer and spray paint. I used grade 1500 sandpaper (really fine) to sand the cover prior to painting and the inlets and fuel rail i did with a combination of spray and normal liquid engine enamel and lots of masking up!!! lol :D

Haha let me know if you get stuck and il pop some pics up of me putting mine on in stages, that might help.

It shouldnt be, from what I can tell its basically the same as my OMP one iv got, the right hand side of it needs a bit of a wiggle to get it in though!!!

Yeah i thought so, im really happy with it now, looks nice with the brace :) We still ok for the 14th??

Nope not at all, took about 15mins to put it on from taking it out of the box!!! Just need 4 small pilot holes and the 4 selt tapping screws (provided) srew straight into the strut top!!! I think it makes a big difference in cornering, iv got a non cup 172 so the suspension is a bit limp...

Na I havent seen that!! There is a MK4 GTi bombing around on Mk5 Gti wheels, he lives down Fen Grove i think!!!

Thanks mate, I just wanted something different to compliment the red strutbrace, cos the silver engine cover, blue hoses and red brace looked odd!!!

Yeah will do mate, worst case scenario is that I may not feel any substantial gains but it should help the fuel consumption!!! lol Is there a guy who has a civic type R near you, i remember seeing a black 182 outside a house a couple of times recently with the civic next door i think...

Yeah thats just a couple of mins around the corner. Havent seen a Black 182 round this way before. Theres a guy in Avery Hill who has a 182 cup but thats the only other clio sport iv seen round here. It takes me bout 1hr 45min on a good day driving sensibly ;) The guy that does it is on...

Hi Mate, Yeah im down by halfway street? Where bouts are you based? Yep im going up on the 14th. I was up there on Wednesday picking up astrut brace as I have familey literally 1 mile away from Jamsport!!! Great excuse to go up there!!:D

My 172 has just hit 75k and still feels as fresh as the day I bought it!!! Keep it regularly serviced and itl be fine!!! I agree the standard 5 spokes suit the 172 really well. Here's mine!!

im having mine done at Jamsport on the 14th, costing about £190!!!

Yeah I got a smallish L shaped bracket that screws into the random hole next to the battery and the hose clip goes through the other end which the cone slides into, tighten it all up and off you go. Il try and take a pick of the official one you get because I dont think its too difficult to...

Powertec induction cone with cold air feed (cant see this), sounds great and feels a bit better than standard air box. I had a simota carbon air filter before, no real gains and too tight of a fit as it started scrapping the side of the battery and the sharp outer ring split my coolant hose...

Just thought its a bit different rather than having them polished!!! The whole job only cost me £20 in paint and sandpaper etc!!

Thanks guys, Im really happy with how it turned out. Heres a few more I took after giving the car a quick clean!!
