Devon /Cornwall Run to the Beach Sunday 16th May

[Paul_LY-182]

I'm still unsure if i can make this or not, i'll know by Saturday afternoon.

I fitted an Espace V6 airbox today and the noise level when the engine is on load is a little embarrassing....if i can get down on sunday then it would be good to hear your comments before i decide to keep it on or not.

ill be there to mate and im running the same v6 box as well

Do you find it sounds like a 1.2 corsa with holes drilled in the airbox when you open the throttle too much? I've only had it on for about 20 miles so far

 

[marinemackay2003]

do you have ducting with it?

mines not to bad i dont think, ive got a decat and prospeed exhaust though so might not be able to hear it over them lol,
yea ive got ducting from behind the rs grill to it, need a bit more though as it stops a bit short of the airbox, mines re-located so it sits horizontally in the engine bay as my battery is in the boot.

It's a shame this isn't a week later, i'm camping in st ives on the 22nd for a week. could have popped down to see you southerners

 

[marinemackay2003]

i guess this means i'm gonna have to watch out for a random recaro thief while i'm down there. lol

the wifes never been and she fancied it:approve:

 

[Bucko]

do you have ducting with it?

No CAF or ducting, just like the JMS setup. There isn't really anywhere to put ducting on a 172 due the aircon and headlight ballast. I'll see what i can do on my day off on friday

 

[marinemackay2003]

try putting some on may deaden the noise a bit you can fit 70-90 odd mm ducting down in to the arch/horn area if you have removed the accoustic valve ect 100mm is a struggle though

have a play and see what you can do

Typical westcountry weather!

 

[marinemackay2003]

remember your cameras

 

[rsclio182]

I should be able to make this, going to leave early as I can see me falling out with my sat nav!

 

[bearne1]

Haha!!

If anyone has any 182 Cup dampers spare bring them along! Mine are being refurbed next week so would be useful to save mine going off the road.

Unlikely but worth a shout!

 

[Nightwalker]

The sun is out and the sky is blue in Ivybridge today, lets hope that carries over into tomorrow!

 

[bearne1]

Lets hope so!

[Bucko]

I'll be going from Dawlish so joining the A38 at Exeter Racecourse, not really anywhere to pull over/meet up near there

 

[jordan172]

cool, we can check out your air filter setup

 

[Bucko]

It's a right bodge-up at the mo, i just fitted the box in about 10 minutes the other day with a standard panel filter and haven't touched it since. Don't expect anything pretty.

After payday i will get a samco bend, pipercross filter and some sort of CAF, but you'll hear all about that tomorrow

 

[rsclio182]

I've got a viper pippetcross idk if you wana give that a go bucko

 

[Bucko]

I'm quite happy with the V6 setup thanks, i just need to tidy it up but i'm skint until the end of the month

 

[jordan172]

see everyone tomorrow

you all might have to bare with me and paul getting lost but hopefully paul will get marine`s number

 

[Paul_LY-182]

[Matt197]

I am on for going now, credit cards to the [FONT=&quot]rescue[/FONT].

Might be a bit late as no doubt I will get lost :rasp:

Hey Paul whereabouts are you and Jordan in Truro, might be able to meet up and dive up together, im up by the old Richard Lander school.

 

[Paul_LY-182]

im the other side of truro near police station. if you want you could meet us at shell at carland cross because we ll probably be getting fuel there first anyway! wat time were you planning on leaving?

 

[Matt197]

Ye sounds like a plan, I was thinking about leaving Truro between 10:15 and 10:30

 

[Paul_LY-182]

ok cool, meet us there between 10-15/10-30 then, pm me your mob number just incase we re running late or something i can let you know lol
