Fletch's 150k 172 Project..

[Christopher.]

Yes Tim.

Still not happy I'll PM you.

Whats wrong with it now Fletch?

 

[Fletcher]

^^^Pm'd fella.

 

[Fletcher]

Finally had a chance to take the 172 out for a B-road blast today. First time in god knows how long :approve::approve::approve:

And fitted the 3/4 plate.

Post drive pics

I've now decided I am going to remove the 'Ghetto fix' splitter (it's been on the front for over 50k!) for either another CF one, or Renault cup splitter, and fit some front silvervisions.

The 2118s are going to stay off the car until the weather picks up.

 

[TimR26]

Looks much better mate

B-road blast on Morestead to Corhampton by any chance

 

[Fletcher]

^^^^Maybe

 

[toomer]

Tidy mate!

 

[oliver.james]

Looking good mate. It's good to see you've got it back to enjoy again, looking forward to seeing how things progress now

 

[gez 172]

just read the whole thread now, car is looking lovley mate.

 

[Christopher]

Aren't 2118's heavier than Turinis?

Also, definitely go for a standard Cup splitter mate. The carbon ones look terrible once they get chipped.

 

[Fletcher]

Tidy mate!

Thanks fella, hopefully bring it to the next SC meet.

No IIRC Speedline 2118s are slightly lighter than a 16'' turini.

Yes you're right about the splitter, although the KTR CF 'effect' splitters do look good when new mind.

 

[oliver.james]

The 15" 2118 seemed lighter than the 16" Turini to me.

I actually expected the 2118's to be heavier than they are, given the comments made about their weight.

I didn't find the 2118s that heavy either.. Not the lightest 15'' wheel, but their looks more than make up for it IMO

What next on the list for the old girl then

Hopefully get my Sabelt cup racer steering wheel fitted on Fri/Sat mate.

Still can't decide on a new zorst, the yozzasport race system is really tempting me ATM :evil:

 

[tom172cup]

i want one of them steering wheels so nice. not going to be a daily is it suppose that helps with the choice of zorst in regards with noise. the yozza dose sound and look cool tho, have you not found any one with the oreca one yet?

Yeah Dan has a Oreca grp N system fitted to his Mk2 172.

The thing I prefer about the yozzasport system over the Oreca is that you can add a cat, or stealth back box if need be.

I've not been out in a car with either of the above systems fitted though

 

[tom172cup]

Yozza it is then they seem to go for good money secondhand. what about your inlets to go with the zorst

 

[TimR26]

Fitting the wheel yourself mate? I'll give you a hand in return for snow foaming my car

 

[Fletcher]

Well I need to sort out some matched inlets for her ASAP too, and then get a 'live' remap done. Hopefully release a few more ponies.

Have you changed one before mate?

You're more then welcome to come over to mine on sunday though mate, and I'll give your bus a snowfoam.

 

[TimR26]

No, but can't be too difficult!

Disconnect battery, chainsaw off old wheel, superglue new wheel, job done :rasp:

 

[tom172cup]

Not the highest mileage 172 one of them though IIRC CHRIS172CUP is on around 136-7K.

 

[Darren S]

Awesome Fletch - it really is. Gives us faith that there's plenty of life in the RS's past the 100k mark!

^^^I'd bloody love some trumpets on the Fletch bus

 

[Fletcher]

Lots of parts ready to be fitted

But no car to fit them too

 

[TimR26]

Wheels need tyres before they're ready to be fitted :rasp:

Are you going with Paradas?

 

[VeinAST]

Brand new 2118s?

 

[TimR26]

Yes, he bought some brand new Sheepline 2118s.
