Evo's and scoobs for that matter on a hot day will struggle thorugh hairpins and chicane's...I've seen it at many track days, they simple bog down. The grip is immence. Tho It would still hump Matt's 2CV!

^ Knockhill's like cadwell 100% a drivers tracks. It's in the driver not the car, when i worked there i was quicker in their shitty MGTF's than 90% of all the hot hatch day's mob!

I have a cone filter on my 172 i think it is slowing it down, which is best the standard filter or a proper one with a cold air feed ? or maybe a performance exhaust and the standard air filter?? i like the noise from the air filter thats on it but i am sure it is slowing it down

Also what exactly does a strut brace do ? is it just to make the car handle better? keep it more rigid?

Thanks

Take your car to a rolling road and do a power run, if you go along to an organised 'day' then it'll probably cost £30 to £40. This will give you a BHP and ft/lbs figure as a benchmark. Then swap out the cone filter for the filter of your choice and do another power run and see what the difference is. I'd say that a performance exhaust would be on the Christmas list either way and if I were you I'd fit the exhaust prior to the power runs.

As for strut braces...they are a good idea. They are designed to reduce suspension and inner wing flex. It will make the front end a little sharper and no matter that you don't take it on the track, it's nice when the car feels crisper through the country lanes...that and they look good :D . I'm not convinced that being able to make a strut bar deflect by leaning hard on it means that it's a bad strut brace as they are designed to be strong in compression/expansion between the mounts, if you stood one on it's end and pushed down on it I'm pretty sure it can't be made to shrink by much! Hence it's fit for the job (if mounted securely).

J3ned - you're a fud. I know this is my first post and probably won't win any friends here with that, but you're worth it.

Cheers :D

Stop tellin lies AJR ;) - you work at ALDI

For the x1000 it Lidl you trout!

Gordon was racing seat cupra's for a season, not sure what he's doing just now. I got fedup of knockhill, was a bit of fun to start with but then all the neds with no brains and showing off to their misses come along and make it crap. Infact the girls were considerably beta drivers than the guys coz they were willin to learn.

Matt you'd prob be quite good on track ya big jesse! lol

EVO 8s are about 16-19k and its not the latest as the is an EVO 9 out. You dont know much on EVos do you......

For 31k you could buy a S/H EVO8MR 400, which you keep with your car on the straights and leave it for dead around the twisties. Remember std EVO tyres and std clio tyres then it may beat it on the straight aswell.

Im sure whatever the outcome its your mate that smiling..im also glad you have come round to the fact that you know what your car is.

Progress...........

Still note taking the beer and mince pie.....

Flute you play horizontally, oboe on the other hand you play vertically... So Pink oboe would be a better used.

This thread had made my day i'm happy now...

Loosing you cool again........thrombosis be careful, breath in through the nose out through the mouth.....repeat until your heart rate slows to an acceptable level.

Its a shame your change in appraoch now is very defensive and agressive. Its usually a sign off frustration as you can not communicate effectively..
