Oh yea I know all the fitting info on the cat, but K-Tec do a sports cat and a decat to go between the 182 manifold and 172 cat back just wondering which is best overall like sound, power etc
I'm disappointed with the mid range torque in my 172 and I have a 182 manifold at home ready to go on soon.
However a set of cams from K-Tec are expensive, but are they worth it?
Or where else is the best place to get a set of performance cams for my car?
I have an oil leak out of my Rocker...
Went past this earlier on my way home from work, I waved but didnt get a response from what I could see as there was a glare off their windscreen. Was heading out from Redditch towards Astwood Bank.
Re: All Pearl Black's & Black Gold's Look....
A few of the latest pics of mine, had it about 4 weeks now:
A quick pic of the interior, hints at the colour scheme I'm going for lol
Spotted the Black 172 Phase2 heading toward cheltenhm off Junction 10 of the M5 about 3pm today.
Spotted the Black Vee think it was a Phase2 on the roundabout of the Wyre Piddle Bypass heading towards Pershore/Pinvin about 5.20pm and it look like sex on wheels lol, gotta love a Black Vee ;)
Got a few more bits on order now so keep an eye out for the next update, also received through my SFS coolant hoses so they'll be on this weekend hopefully ;)
Oh yea it looks like a monster truck atm, my mates rep puts my car to shame on that front lol. Trying to curb my spending on the car for a while now though, the original plan was to buy it and leave it standard lol, need to save up and do my full bike test and get a proper size bike lol.
Also...
Right got round to picking up some new shoes just over a week ago as some of yo may have seen from the pictures on the west mids meet. But now have got some better pictures and a few of the resprayed interior panels too.
The green doesn't show up that well in the pictures, is much more...
IMO I drive to accomodate the slowest car, which is what I did on the way there and back as I think most of us, including me, didnt know the area we were driving in, so would be even more complicated if we ended up getting split up.
Drivers side rear is a Yokohama A539 195/45/16
Yea 3 different tyres atm as thats how the car was when I bought it 2 weeks ago so until I change the wheels or the tyres need changing they'll stay as they are.
the front 2 tyres match and are directional, but the back 2 are different to those and each other, not sure on makes, havent checked them as I plan to change the wheels in the near future anyways, not sure what for yet, have been playing around on photoshop with a few ideas
lol the old lower grille had a hole in it from the previous owner having a CAF that was removed before i bought the car so got that mesh, I quite like it the way it is atm, I dont have the heart to butcher it yet, however if it starts going a dodgy finish at a later date it will be redone black...
Gave the car yet another wash yesterday and whilst i was going I got some new number plates to update the car as the ones on it originally looked old and tatty.

After:
Also received my new Anthracite Front Diamond through today

After:
Also the dash strips...
Just downloading the trial of photoshop now, looks like its going to take quite a while though lol.
Thanks for the 'shops Robbos, have given me a few to think about, I like the look of the White Inovits, think I need to find a better pic of the black with red lip Inovits. I like the 182s but...
Can someone please photoshop these wheels onto my car please as i'm undecided which ones to get.
I've done the best i can to find big pictures of the wheels straight on rather than at an angle so the images are easy to work with. All the aftermarket wheels will be 17"s and obviously the 182 cup...
my original plan was to buy the car and not anything for it so i could save up for the expensive parts but looks like the saving is getting delayed lol
