People thought on my plans

[anthonymayow]

Just wanted to know people thoughts on my plans for my Monaco Blue 172 ive recently picked up !
been driving it and it drives like a dream and my sisters boyfriend owns a LY 182, and it keeps up with that so we know it is a strong engine.
my plans for the exterior and interior looks were (inspired by "Si's" car/ i like standard look):
- Slimline Number
- Si Tow Ring
- Private Plate (to hide age, 51 reg)
- Ice white dip beams
- Clear repeaters already fitted
- Power-coated black rocker-cover
- Monaco Blue painted engine cover
- Monaco Blue painted dash trims, steering insert, door handles.
- Carbon fibre thumb grips
- 182 Anthracite alloys already fitted
- V-Maxx Coil-overs and shocks
- Recaro Seats, and striped out back seats (Hopefully Evo8 recaros/Dark Blue)

All just being little touches to smarten it up , any suggestions please tell

Engine wise:
- RS Inlets Upper & Lower (Hopefully matched)
- Racing cams (unsure on make of yet)
- Ktec Recessed Exhaust System
- Ktec injection kit (when released if proven and responses are good, if not ill leave standard)
- Throttle Bodys

maybe missed few things but just comment, would like to know responses, didnt want to 'chav' my car up just little changes

Entirely up to you, it's your car lol.

What are you plans for the car? Just road use? Track etc?

I presume you mean Ktec induction kit? If so then you can only have either an induction kit or Throttle bodies, if you go with bodies then you don't use the inlet either The induction kit does seem to do a decent job though and has yielded some decent figures!

road but i race 125 karts, so might be nice to put it on a track!
yeah sorry spelling correction thing failed, yeah i will be being throttle bodies as last thing so ill take the induction kit off after !
yeah it does but my friend is concerned if they did the figures with the bonnet up or down, as if up the figures will rise and would read untrue :/!

Keeps up pfftt !?!?!? Seems a strong engine seeing as it got standard intlets (not RS or matched) and a custom cat back exhaust that doesn't look good for performance (width constantly changing lol). However went and saw a few before this one and was by far the best one both in condition and to drive.

Im actually slightly jealous of the colour but probably because mine needs a clean

However I think you should buy my 182 so I can get a 200

id leave powdercoating the rocker cover until you get cams!! youll need all the cam locking tools to take the rocker cover off!! (stupid design i know)

Don't put 182 wheels on it Monacos look epic on silver Turinis.

Have you ever raced at Kimbolten? I used to race TKMs and loved watching the gearbox karts fly down the main straight into that awesome braking point!
