Last bit I needed to do in the bay was the bulkhead heat protection.

Cheers Scott
I took it for a quick drive, gave it a wash and put it to bed for a while with the trickle charger and car cover on.

Re: Ph1 172
Nice and responsive, pulled well from low down.
Now I've got the filter setup all sorted the idle is solid around 900rpm. Just need to tweak the cold start so I don't have to hold it on the throttle for a few seconds to get it idling.
Can't wait to have it all finished and abuse it this summer.

Hah! Possibly, I don't know yet. I'll see how it goes.
It'll do for the time being. Besides, could be worse, I could run no filter.

Tbh it's probably as bad as no filter.

Re: Ph1 172
A bit of a gross exaggeration but I understand your concern. I doubt I'll do much more than 2000 miles this year so I'll be keeping a watchful eye on it.

Re: Ph1 172
My engine ingested a lot of the filter.
How a decent filter SHOULD look...
Indeed - please be very careful with the filter. It was shocking. It's also worth noting that I maintained my filter (and indeed everything else ) impeccably...

Re: Ph1 172
Cup subframe is done as well as changing the rear spacers. Looks much better all round now.
Got my 1.2 dash fitted today after getting the car back.
I was going to fit aerocatches on the front bumper but I've decided against it now. Not that keen on how it looks tbh and it's not like it takes that long to remove if I need to.

Re: Ph1 172
The final bit I needed to do before mapping in 3 weeks was to secure the oil cooler and radiator for driving the car in earnest.
Need to start thinking about booking a few track days now!

Re: Ph1 172
For some summer biking I bought a pair of roof bars from KL_RCS thanks Kris. I need to get a pair of bike racks now.
And for some improved handling I'll be getting one of CS.net finest group buy items. The roll centre/bump steer correction kit big thanks to Mark NorthloopCup and Nick Nick172Cup
Pinched a photo...
For more info check the thread with a couple of awesome videos!

Re: Ph1 172
My filter is ok at the moment, I'll keep a close eye on it and change it when required.
I decided whilst the weather was decent to change my Ph1 seats over to the 172 Cup seats I got from Carbonraider I gave them a clean and swapped the runners and pretensioners over from the Ph1 seats.
Popped them in this evening and they match the 1.2 top dash and cowling much better now, besides I already had the Cup rear bench.

Re: Ph1 172
Did some tinkering today. Took an angle grinder to a 4 pot calliper then tried it in place.
So next step is to machine it down properly and convert it to radial mount then decide on discs and makes some brackets.
Also got a couple of pics to show how it sits now with the cup subframe, et35 wheels and 10mm spacers on the front and et35 wheels with 7.5mm spacers on the back. I'll get another 5mm each side on the front with the roll centre kit.
Here you can see the wishbone mounts further out than on a ph1 subframe.
Also fitted a catch tank

Re: Ph1 172
Went in for mapping this morning but injector number 1 was knackered so ECP came to the rescue with a new one and mapping is going to start soon. Did a leakdown test and all was well so fingers crossed now for some decent numbers!

Re: Ph1 172
Glad you got an injector easy enough. Good luck for the mapping.
I thought mini cooper s discs were 276mm not 294mm. Are they larger on new R56 mini's as the R50 and R53's use the 276mm disc?

Re: Ph1 172
From 2001 on. It depends on the model. Only thing worth noting is the spigot is 64mm so will need a ring knocking up. Otherwise they have a height of 44mm like the Clio discs and are 4x100

Ah right. I was going to ask you how many teeth the abs rings had if you replaced them.

Re: Ph1 172
Previous power was 152 at the wheels (dyno dynamics corrected it to 184 at the fly). It is now 171 at the wheels, so using the same factor for losses that's 207 at the fly.
I'm going to overlay graphs later

Re: Ph1 172
Yes, it's making the figures it should and more importantly, compression is all good and the injector is sorted. Ready to go for this year now!
Good, I need to do a stronger return spring, so the revs drop quicker but other than that it's great. Definitely quicker than it was and I've got weight loss planned for this year to help out.

Re: Ph1 172
Done the graph overlays so you can see the before and after, the standard inlet give a big peak in the midrange so I'm losing out around 4500 and 5000 but above that I'm gaining quite a bit. I can feel it too, it doesn't have the kick it had at 4.5k but it feels much quicker overall now.
