Would i be insane fitting a 182 to my cup

Would i be insane fitting a 182 lookalike exhaust to my cup?

 

[Bluebeard]

Yes.

Its a 172 cup, not a 182. If you wanted a 182, why didn't you just buy one??

 

[Mobby]

I wanted the cup colour and alloys.

 

[Bluebeard]

Arctic blue isn't much different you lunatic!

I'm only pulling your chain anyway. Fit what you want dude, its your car!

 

[Nafoff]

its a crazy build....just what you were looking for daniel

Haha they are having a laugh mate. Wasnt an attack.

Someone recently fitted a 182 exhaust to a ph1. Looked ok, but its not a 182 so its misleading and weird.

 

[Mobby]

I just checked ebay and thought, actually it isnt. Its probably the only thing i missed while doing my research. could have had the seats then too :-(

Does the samco induction bend fit onto the standard airbox? why is it fitted?

yes it does

its fitted as it looks pretty and in theory its slightly bigger allowing better air flow

 

[Mobby]

Cheers martin. gonna order one tomorrow, will have my itg panel delivered soon, drilled airbox Yay or Nay ?

 

[Bluebeard]

Nay.

 

[Mobby]

I thought frilling airbox slightly got a little cold air in without getting heatsoak from the engine. Every website seems to be different. People are actually smoothing the inside of their airboxs on ukmkivs.net

Drilling holes in your airbox is just for added noise, unless things have changed since i was 17?

As for smoothing the airbox over on ukmkivs.net, i think they do that to smooth airflow and improve throttle response. That's on a turbo engine though and i'm sure the effects are placebo, much like a few 'mods' we do here on Cliosport.net

I was all over this mod back in the mid 90s

like adding the cs sticker adds 5bhp and aparently according to some guy the other night the skids splitter makes it quicker with aerodynamics so another 5bhp. My 1.4 should be aroud 130 now with my power mods LOL

awesome mod and did jack all hahaha

Yes. Why make it look like somthing it ain't!

get a reccessed zorst instead much better IMO keeps it oem, rather than bodge the rear bumper cutting out a hole for a potruding exhaust.
