cleaned the 172 today

[lesley]

She hasn't had a clean for a few months now, so decided to give her a quick clean up!


before

supa snow foam time!

and rinse off...

while i was waiting for her to dry i tackled the engine bay as we've just changed the inlet.

used stardrops apc and AG engine cleaner, lots of time and it ended up like this. still not happy tho, needs another go with a very small brush to get in all the little annoying bits.

some afters of the car all clean and shiny again :thumb:

reflections!

Thanks for the piccys. I must go and clean my black car now.

is the breather on top of the rocker cover meant to be blanked off with the rs2 inlet?

The instalation isnt finished yet TBH, she only did enough to get it up and running basically
The coilpack is meant to sit on a little bracket on the back of the engine but cause the RS2 was bought over xmas a couple of the parts hadnt been made in time, James is going to sort them out for us any day now.
She also needs to finish off the loom, she stripped all the old convoluted tubing off but havent had a chance to redo it with loom braid yet.
The servo pipe needs tidying up a bit too.


Not a good example of an RS2 instalation at the moment, but very much a work in progress, she'll sort it out when she gets a chance im sure lol

 

[rob_clio197rs]

sounds like will be the real deal once its all sorted, bet it sounds awesome

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yeah its a nice sounding engine note with it fitted

Certainly feels like it goes a lot better too, hopefully she'll get it back to the rollers soon to get a real indication though as always hard to gauge by just driving them!

 

[B16DOE]

Much better

Engine bay update picture now lesley has had a proper chance to have a go at it not just a quick once over like before:
