Greeny's Iceburg 172

[Greeny.]

Its gunna be slow to push over 130 unless your car is a mental spec! We all know this! :P

[Dan@519Automotive]

as said the other night it certainly felt stiffer on yours than on dans..
p.s i had to lift off n take the left hander at about 60/70

it will be stiffer, lower profile tyres and 16 inch wheels. That's the point of adjustability though.

very true i forgot all about you having the 15's and 50 profiles.. so yes as u said it will feel stiffer as the rattle can saxo seemd softer that night you were pushing me along than when i go along in the cup although the cup certainly corners better on that road but i do have s**t tyres on the saxo

nope 175ish bhp iirc.. my 172 cup gets up to it quite happily in a short space of time also the 130 he mentioned is quite easily achieved on the testing grounds lol

Not a private airfield then? Or are we talking km/h here ;?

second of the 2 lol

so not the 65mph you told me then.

No no I have no reason to lie to you Dan, I met up with mitch on friday night, we had a play around with the dampers, put them on 14 clicks, I then went off to pick the girlfriend up and was running a little late, so on the 'testing area' which just so happens to have 2 lanes either side of the tarmac and perfectly straight for a fair few miles, I let it go and it was rather bumpy

The 65mph incident was on monday or tuesday of last week, the evening before I rang you to complain about them mate. I've absolutely tried my best with the suspension to try and get it to work, but it just doesnt want to know. I'd be happy for a replacemen set if the rears were found to be faulty, as I still stand by the build quality looking great and an easy to fit, kit.


Greeny - Funny you should say that about the 130 crack, every other sport I've had has been the same, apart from this thing wants to climb round to 150 on the dials anyhow, shift light in 5th anyone?

[Greeny.]

Lol

I changed my rears down to around 10 clicks and its not half as bad now, however my rears do seem to be creaking abit, first I thought it was rubbing but I actually think its the shocks as it doesnt get anyworse when I accelerate hard, which is when I would expect the rears to rub like mad if they were already rubbing. Will have to see how it goes and contact Spax if needed.

Spray some oil on the bump stops on the rear.

hit the limiter in the cup once and it just backed the power right off.. as 4 shift light loadz that how i had it down to around 19mpg on my way home lol

Ill give that a go mate, cheers

Bought another Clio yet ffs? I bet your gunna do what everyone does... buy another car, hate it after 3 months and get another Clio Just get a newer 182 or a 172 Cup tbh and don't strip it as much. Nice to have a balance between the two imo

[dmallett]

It should work! And no i havent, yet

[Greeny.]

Yes I know its yellow, I did order black but this is all they had in stock and I wanted it ready for my trackday this this month.

The sound from it is epic, never heard such an aggressive induction kit! Will hopefully get to the same rollers I ran 174bhp on with my standard box and see if there is any improvement. I only bought this coz Danny @ 519 posted a graph showing it actually makes a difference, will be interesting to see what I gain from it, if anything.

[richy22]

I bet you lose power

[Dan@519Automotive]

haha, I bought all the black ones Sean was trying to buy them back off me on tuesday

[Scott H.]

Looks good mate! What trackday you doing this month?

Doubt it tbh, 'proven' gains Getting nearer a true 180bhp now with basic mods!

[DannyR]
