182 and 172 exhaust

[Ben_Stevo172]

I have recently fitted a 182 bumper to my 172 and took it down to my local powerflow today to get a price for the twin exhaust doing. They told me the price will be higher than usual as there is alot of work involved in bending the exhaust round the spare wheel well. They told me that a 182 has a different spare wheel well to the 172 to accomadate for the exhaust. Is this true or are they bullshittin me!! Thought they were the same?

 

[daviebroon]

tis true

 

[daviebroon]

whereas the 172 has the space for a spare, the 182 doesn't due solely to the exhaust.

 

[Ben_Stevo172]

So where does th spare wheel go in a 182?

 

[adehook006]

havent they got a spray?

The 182 doesn't have a spare, you just get two cans of tyre foam.

 

[daviebroon]

as above.

you do realise even the 172cup doesn't get a spare. 2 cans of foam

nothing to do with exhaust... just to save weight.

 

[Brasseye]

no spare and the boot is flat allowing space to fit that huge exhaust system under the car

just the 172 cup or all of them?

i lost my spare of my mk1 somewhere, got back an the carrier was missing with my spare, was new tyre too

Yeah.. their telling it straight.

Foam cans are rubbish. Work well if you have a slow punture and spot it early. No use if you have a blowout or serious puncture.

Im pretty sure most 172s do have spares. Maybe not cups then. But it was because of the exhaust system. There is no room with the 182 exhaust.

 

[daviebroon]

yup only the 172cup comes with 2 cans of foam. and they work really well actually. i used them on my mates 17" wheel and it was flat as a pancake

(but only at the bottom)

i was going to do the same as you but i was quoted around 480 for the full system so i got a 182 replica from k tech.
have a look in my thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=181590

 

[Brasseye]

all 172 except the cup have spares....

 

[Fred@BTM]

but the 172 cup still has the spare wheel well, whereas the 182 has a flat boot floor

Ben, speak to Ad_172 on here. He's got a Ph1 172 with a 182 style exhaust.
