    Rolling road result - Tipton Garage - 174bhp

    Ran my car at Tipton Garage today, in order to get a base run before the Cliosport.net day there in a few weeks. Its a MAHA LPS 3000 PKW, which apparently produces figures that aren't comparabe to Dyno Dynamics etc (the ATW figure isn't the same and the calculated loss is higher, due to the...

    First proper clean in 4 years!

    Finally had decent enough weather to try out the products I bought at Christmas: Auto Finesse's Lather; Clay & Glide; Tripple; and Tough Coat. It's the first time I've cleaned the car properly, it's usually a manual car wash job... All the products were easy to use, although it took longer...

    3.5 years, and a few changes... Nothing special!

    It's been a while since I posted anything, so thought I'd share what's happened to the cup whilst I've had it... It definitely won't be to everyone's taste, but I'm a lot happier with it as it is now! It was without doubt 'chavy' when I first got it, and although most will perceive it as still...

    Video request: BTB stealth on a 172

    As above really... I'm thinking about swapping my Ktec stealth for a BTB, but I would like to hear a few more videos before committing... It's cruising between 60-75 that I'm most interested in! (Preferably with a sports cat or equivalent) Thanks in advance

    Ktec sports cat and stealth too droney/intrusive... options?!

    I currently have a Ktec sports cat and silenced SS stealth system, but I think I’m getting old before my time and I’m getting annoyed at how droney and intrusive it is at 60+mph. I do like the sound of it when pushing on, but it’s getting on my wick when cruising and even slightly embarrassing...

    Anyone gone from Ktec/Apex 30mm to Eibachs?

    I know there are a lot of threads stating Eibach are superior to Apex, but most are comparing the Eibachs to larger drops than 30mm... So, I'm just wondering if anyone has done this, and if so, was there a noticeable difference in ride quality? (I'm still undecided on pro’s or sports, so looking...

    Excessive wear on inner side of my n/s rear tyre...?

    I had my car on a ramp and noticed the inner 2-3” of the rear n/s tyre is wearing really quickly... visually there seems to be more -ve camber on that side. Nothing seemed obviously bent, and no leaks on the shocks. The tyres were new in Jan, when I fitted new wheels, and I do not remember...

    CoPilot vs Navigon... which is better?!

    Really can't decide between the 2... both are very similar in features and price (including the in-app purchases required, TSS and Postcode respectively) Reviews seem to favour CoPilot due to value, but with Navigon being reduced to £19.99 it's unclear which is the best option... Has...

    Differences in ph2 RS wheels...?

    I'm thinking about getting my wheel re-trimmed and just wanted to confirm that the controls/buttons on a non cup are detachable? I just want to make sure there are no differences between the 2 wheels (for exchange purposes)... Thanks in advance

    Remap and/or inlets, or neither...?

    Right, another help me decide thread... I’ve got a Rs Tuner waiting to be used, but my insurance company want £120 to add it to the policy (I’ll be declaring it no matter what people may say); so basically I have 3 options: Option 1- Bite the bullet, and do the remap and get matched inlets...

    A Charge of 25% of my policy for 6hp...?!

    Just phoned my insurance company to check how much it'd be for a remap to be added (Rs Tuner)... a charge of 25% of the policy! Even the person I was speaking to was surprised, but apparently there is a minimum charge for any ECU modifications (calculated in percentage of policy)... I was...

    Airbag ECU... not the usual question

    Due to having a different airbag ECU in my car (a 1.2 clio's) the Rs Tuner cannot recognise the VIN... Subsequently, I would like to buy a second hand ECU with a matching VIN; which is obviously a lot cheaper than buying new and getting it programmed! So, to make the search easier, I was...

    Help me decide...!

    Hi everyone, I was thinking about getting a new car, but realised there’s no other car in the price range that I’d prefer... so thinking about tweaking the cup to get a new feel! I’m booking in to get matched inlets (upper and lower) and a remap, and can’t decide whether a sports cat would be...

    ph1 172 airbox inlets diameter...?

    I've had a look around but can't seem to find this info out... does anyone know the diameters of the intakes on the standard ph1 172 airbox? Just trying to decide between the v6 and ph1 box, so wanted to see if the difference in surface area was worth the extra caf fitting trouble... Cheers

    New member, from Devon

    Hi everyone, As stated I'm new to the forum, and have a 172 cup. I got the car back in February, but am now looking to up the bhp/torque. It already has an induction kit, but had to put a standard exhaust back on (couldn't live with the one on there!). I've been thinking about a k-tec...
