Don't know if he's on here, but he hasn't owned it very long!

 

[the_prophet]

10k????? thats more than the ktec 172 was up for a few weeks ago

"..........Full Heat Raped 182 Manifolds....." sounds painful

 

[Craigus]

How much?

 

[Dangerous_dave]

dreamer!

 

[172Ben]

£10k, FLOL!!! Dreamer.

How is it 234bhp aswel with just ITB's and head work? Am i missing something from the description?

i think its down to the "..........Full Heat Raped 182 Manifolds....."

 

[Bluebeard]

Ten thousand pounds?!

Is this serious??

Usual story "172 4 sale, bin chipd to ova 200 bhp!!!!"

 

[Gib#244]

I have only seen it passing, and parked up. The other 172 cup in the pics is his old one I think.

my old 172 cup pushed over the 200 mark without itb's had extensive head work, cams re-profiled, valve seats modified....etc etc.... had filter, exhaust too.

 

[DazG]

He probably owes £10k on the loan he bought it with thats why its at that price

 

[Gib#244]

lol

 

[Bazzon]

Its had alot done but i dont believe the BHP claim reading the spec, and he may get 10K in parts, if he was to split it and but the car baack to standard.

 

[BenG]

He aint on here. Im good mates with Gaz but I do believe 234 BHP is a bit optimistic with what has been done to it. I still think my Trophy will rape the car, as well as the manifold . (was a joke before people get technical ).
When he first told me it was running nearly 240 BHP I laughed but he told me the internals had been uprated such as cams and forged pistons etc so I believed him. Going by the list of mods, it looks likes they haven't.

Ive been out in the car and it is pretty quick, corners well and is well looked after, It would make a nice track car if it wasn't so dear. He has only had it a month but is selling it because he is after something a bit different.

 

[sideways danny]

if it's the one i think it is, it's a stock bottom end, but very heavily worked top end with cams

 

[BenG]

Ill try find out more about the engine work tomorrow. Ill give him a ring.

 

[b33fy172]

My friend went to look at this before it was sold. Very clean car.
But it was up for alot less last time.

 

[BenG]

if it's the one i think it is, it's a stock bottom end, but very heavily worked top end with cams

With a heavily worked head and ITBodies would the engine take a lot longer to warm up ?? And would the addition of cams make it idle rough from cold too ?

 

[sideways danny]

no, something broken there

 

[BenG]

badly mapped perhaps ?

 

[sideways danny]

not last time i saw it, probably a sensor gone down, my lambda packed up the other week and the car ran like a bloody dog

hope so, he can explain the price to us, perhaps there is a Cash Back deal to be had or something lol

 

[Gary-Lew]

5 minutes on PH , 10k buys nicer sports cars

I saw this on piston head the other day. Its gona be on there for a looooooong time.

 

[crazycup_racer]

This is Ross M's old wagon. It wasn't ITB'd when he had it though. The headwork and wonky manifold was carried out by angelwork's, infact the F4R build thread on his website is in fact this engine! 234 is taking the piss, it was a fairly quick 182 when i last drove it but had its problems from the word go. Its a bit of a mess and has had alot of hard miles!! It may have been rebuilt since then? Who know's!!

 

[Nick r26r]

if anyone pay'd 10k for this car they would have to be on crack or something , 10k is a piiiiisssss take price , i dont know how people can advertise things like this thinking they are going to sell for that sort of money !!! complete rip of price , would say it is worth 6k tops!! i only sold my evo 8mr for £8500 on a 54 reg which was running nearly 400bhp

 

[nathanH]

On a similar note, I dont think ive ever seen a 'tidy' ITB set up, they all seem very messy especialy with the AC pipe, god knows why no ones made up a new one to go round the trumpet... its not hard!

 

[the_prophet]

ph-reebones......

laxy......

 

[R20 CWH]

dubious claim united!

 

[jamie rigby]

234bhp with sock filters LOL, engine must be crying!!

ph-reebone...... No aircon

[the_prophet]

yeh but he said especially with the air con pipe..... meaning they all in general look messy. which i'd agree with. except for those two.

 

[Gray]

yeah it does not look a tidy insatall with the air-con "rubbish" everywhere...

 

[the_prophet]

if i ever get to the stage i want to with mine, i'l aim to change that.

 

[chrispy.clio]

Ben172's engine bay looks pretty tidy (when its clean)

I plan on making mine quite neat and looking nice

 

[the_prophet]

to be fair, you've not had yours done long have you. i'd not be able to stop drivving the thing long enough to tidy it up!

 

[kam2turbo]

that car was owned by some one on here. it had white wheels before and was up for 7k and he now wants 10k no chance
