James' 172 Build - Lots of Pictures

[JamesWilson]

Good progress! Look forward to seeing the figures.

Me too, it's done 1000 miles now, also out ran an Ibiza pd130 with a hybrid turbos, civic ep3 with 220bhp and a fabia 2 vrs, so something's running right.

Feels a lot faster then? It seams the later heads respond well to head work

Definitely feels a lot faster, also feels like the throttle response is better as before I used to hate the electronic throttle, especially noticeable when heal toeing.

Well been busy changing bulbs to led ones, polishing the head lights and generally tidying the car up. I also had to replace the alloys on the car as one had a crack almost through the spoke.
I think the new wheels make the car look a millions times better.

New wheels:

It definitely needs lowering more now though, on the hunt for cooksports now.

Just managed to get a brand new sabelt wheel, omp boss and a ph1 stalk. Waiting on some Rear braided brake lines to go with my front ones.

But more importantly I'll be making the trip to rs tuning in 2 days for mapping!

Update on dyno results ASAP please?

Still enjoying it then as you gone a bit quiet?
