Geoff I think having Ferrodo pads and group N discs would sort the fading problem out. I use to have a Astra GSI with 256mm disc size. And that thing weighed the same as the 172 but stopped just as well and without fade even with extreme use. I had braided hoses with Dot 5.1 brake fluid. When my...

Ben m8 if the Laguna brake calipers are fitted how would I get braided hoses for the car?. I take it a special set would have to be made up. Cheers, Chun.

Geoff you not happy with the 172 brakes?. Chun.

Cant see that pic Jilly Sounds pretty good already , what pther mods where you thinking of?. Chun.

Avo springs are good. But I would proberly change the shocks at the same time. The standard shocks are a little over worked with these springs. Im going to give it a few thousand miles more and replacing my shocks. Chun.

Jilly if you think the mods look good go and do it People will always have different views to you I think sunstrips can be ok but that does depend on there design. Those corner splitters are a little to tacky hehe. Chun.

Jilly what mods have you done to your car currently?. Got any pics?. Ive colour coded my sidestrips, lowered the car and put some different wheels on. The car looks a lot better than when it was standard. Chun.

Captain Slarty was planning to do a 4x4 clio after the turbo development I would interested to see this hehe. Me personally Im going for traction control. Chun.

Roamer if they look good I would be up for buying a front and rear for the 172 Hope to see and hear from this soon. Chun.

Capt so your thining of removing the VVT?. Or just changing the cams for the turbo exhaust cams?. If so how much are these cams? Cheers, Chun.

TB1 I was actually thinking of traction control for the car wihen the turbo kit gos on Racelogic with adjustment and lanch control It should then give me a better chance with putting down 200-250 Bhp depending on boost hehe. Chun.

Also to avoid confusion when im talking about scooby engines im talking about the standard uk scoob engine which you have?. And not the Sti engine?. Chun.

Also say a TD04 that produced 280Bhp max on the scooby doesnt mean it would limit the 172 engine to 280Bhp. A TD04 will flow a certain CFM rating no matter which car it was on. Now because the scooby engine would have a different Volumetric Effiency to the 172 engine. Im assuming its lower cause...

Jow = Joe. hehe. Chun.

TB1 I think what Jow was saying the TD04-18T has a different compressor housing and compressor wheel to the standard TD04. This compressor housing + wheel would give you a peak figure of 29 psi and drop of to 21-20 psi and all staying in the effiency of the turbo. Now I took this compressor map...
