Yeah that's the idea decent rods pistons with an oil cooler and then the conversion should be good for that figure. Going the naturally aspirated route I'd have too buy a Honda too be competitive

The faster cars in class c run in the 53s on the Indy circuit so that's where I'd have too aim too be

Ok basically just needed some confidence that other people had done it. I don't want mental power but I just can't see the logic in spending over 3k for 200hp na when I can go the turbo route spend a little bit more and have 250+

I race in the Quaife motorsport news saloon car championship and currently I'm in class e but by going the turbo route itl put me in class c. The fastest cars In classes e/c have very similar lap times so obviously it is more of a gain too go down the turbo route and enter class c,I'm just a bit...

I'm just weighing up my options of racing my car either turboed or go the n/a route (which I really don't like the idea of). My main question is, have many people raced 172 turbos and how did you get on with reliability because I don't want too be breaking it every time I use it! but 165hp is...

Ok thanks for both of your helps

Yeah I did I didn't know what it was meant too be though so I went with 250nm

I tried premier bearings then SKF now I'm trying FAG. I take there is one that is particularly good?

I've built my 172 into a race car and run slicks, (I think this is where the problem lies) but after 2 15 min races the NSF wheel bearing drones like mad so after every race weekend I have too change the wheel bearings. It looks like they may get very hot as well because sometimes the grease...

Trax!!! stupid iphone, I was there with a mate and his escort cosworth race car parked just up from you

If it comes on and stays on its an MOT fail. If the airbag light doesn't come on its an advisory. Take the bulb out take it back and if he fails it tell him to check the computer as rally cars don't have airbags but a standard version of the car would have. That's why they brought in the rule of...

As they're getting old now. Good service history, the belts being done is a bonus as is replaced engine mounts because they will go at some point but the rest is in the hands of the gods as to it being a good one, make sure it drives right. But obviously you can tell if one is not right so walk...

No compression doesn't have to be rings. Could be a valve?

My personal experience, ok and good for the money in a light car, In a heavy car (not really relevant) but shockingly bad! Just my opinion.

Group buy for a medical at £50??? I paid £16.25 for mine last month on my own. Are people really paying £100 plus for it? There's f**k all to it. Unless your over 40 I understand you have to have an ECG that puts it up
