My Ph1 172



  225 Cup & Williams
Nah managed to buy a low mileage box from SCB in newbridge. Have you not replaced the box on yours already? lol

Forgot to add I also installed the 98ron performance map with the rs tuner today made such a difference to the drive of the car, loads more low down torque smoothed out the 5k "kick" and no more lumpy idle, the increased rev limit is also handy when your pushing on a bit on the b roads really chuffed with it :star:

yeah already replaced the box with a "no crunches and nice and smooth one" for it to be crunching into 3rd! have another one in the garage but its from a 53 plate 172 with no speedo sensor bit. And see with the RS tuner, can you only use one map at a time on the car?
 
  225 Cup & Williams
Ehhhh nah I think you can chop and change the maps as many times as you want only on your car though as it's locked to your car.

I was bricking it when it was rewriting the ecu I was expecting the car not to start haha. I'll give you hand mate no bother it's actually really simple after doing tbh. Your gonna need the latest version of rs tuner if you want the pops & bangs map too then your asbo'd again ha.

Well ill find out how to get the code thing to lock it to the car. And i have the latest one dont worry ;) haha. And asbo ftl!
 
  225 Cup & Williams
Just plug it into the car go to the help bit and it tells you the VCI code. Send that of to Henk @ Fastchip and buy a license off their website and Henk will email you back with the unlock code.

Long overdue update.

So I fitted a Whitline arb to the car today not got any pics but I'll try and upload some over the weekend. Set it at it's hardest setting and went a blast up the back roads, nothing less than impressed by such a simple piece of kit. It's really tightened up the rear end near enough eliminated body roll all together highly recommended. Also got a BTB stealth system sitting in my garage waiting to be fitted at some point which I'm looking forward to. :)

Baaaaaaaa!!

;) Tis only jealousy! Do fancy a different wheel but just have to bide my time. If you got turinis I will have to slap you though ;)
 
  225 Cup & Williams
Haha! No Turinis to be seen ever John promise. The standard bus wheel was irritating me so this one will keep me happy for a while. Running out of stuff to buy for it.

The benefits of staying at home mate lol. The 172 is taking a back seat this year going to get stuck into the Williams. You and Dave doing knockhill this year?

  225 Cup & Williams

Well I've got a yellow powerflex dogbone bushes coming so its just the other 2. I'd like uprated but I'd take good 2nd hand ones. Mine are original and almost certainly contributed to the famous Crail snappage!

Maybe I'm thinking of someone else lol. And I'm on maintenance now, Spend most the day doing fcuk all, And no overtime or travelling expenses. So its quite a bare pay at the end of the week! Which means less goodies for the car :(
 
  225 Cup & Williams
Lol Aye yours is screwed man it's like fuckin leather, passed its Mot yesterday no bother too.

Only problem I've got now is the service light and airbag light has come on ive plugged the resistor that came with the OMP boss in to the airbag plug but they are still on, don't know if I've plugged it in the wrong way.
