Got my car rolling roaded today. I have piperx viper , scorpion exhaust + superchip. Fueling was spot on but power at wheels was 121.5 Bhp and at fly was 168 Bhp. Torque was 139 ib/ft. Bit low concidering the mods. The torque and power curves cross over at 6000+ rpms. Chun.

Captain that would cool to look at Chun,

Will do Chris. Ill post tommorow and tell you what its like with the chip and if the superchip is running properly straight away. One thing I do know is that the viper is a damn good kit for power and noise Chun.

I would recommend the piperx viper if you can get them for the 16v. Bit more poke and lovely noise. Chun.

Ok m8 thanks. I was thinking off running normal 2.3 bar tyre pressure is that high enough?. Chun.

Ben m8 im getting the car rolling roaded straight after the chip. Now you mentioned some stuff a while back about rolling roads, something about ambient temp and tyre pressures. Could you tell me that stuff again It was also get the power at the wheels figure and not the calculated figure ya...

Hehe sounds mental Ben, tell me what the outcome of your developments man Tommythecat Im running a piperx viper sealed induction kit and will be running a superchip as off wednesday. Chun.

I agree with Wongy a 172 on import is similar in praice to a UK 206. Unless your after a import 206 172 is faster than a 206 GTi. Chun.

The braking system on the 172 is pretty damn good standard. if you need to upgrade it then start with front braided hoses, rears are solid metal from what I could see. Then Ferrodo pads. If you really need more than this then you would have to go for brake brake conversions like AP, Brembo etc...

Got ViperX + Exhaust installed. Getting my chip on Wednesday. I reckon 185Bhp plus or minus 5Bhp depending on starting figure. Hey Ben how are you man?, I dont think 200bhp can be reached with chip , exhaust and viperx. Or do you know something I dont Chun.

The peak torque maybe higher but it proberly has a flater torque curse as well. Pretty impressive stats for that car tho. We are looking at 0-100 at about 22 ish seconds. Its proberly modded tho. Chun.

I was thinking of the infinity reference series. I suppose I would get a decent amount of bass with a amp that would supplier 100 RMS?. Cheers, Chun.

Hi could you guys recommend the best 6x9 + Amp configuration for some nice deep bass Im going to run it of the standard headunit. My friend use to have some kenwood 7x10s + ran it off a pioneer amp which was 2x300w Max, cant remember the RMS rating tho. Im also getting 4xInfinity i552 to...

I wouldnt worry RS-TUBS if your caining it all the time it would be that low. If you managed 100% throttle thoughout (spelling) your journey you will be close to 9mpg maybe alittle higher But I would still get it checked out at your dealership. Chun.
