This is my 172, went for black and gold, classy and traditional :)

Hi all, Bit of a strange one, my 182 has recently developed what is seemingly a mis-fire or lack of power after starting that lasts about 5-10 secs. This happens whether it's hot or cold, but I turn on the ignition, pull away and it is really rough for 100 yards or so with a noticable lack of...

I can't notice any difference power-wise, it just feels a bit more free. My main motivation was a quality exhaust that I wouldn't have to worry about rusting, second was a sportier note and third was any performance gain. I'm sure it's probably acquired another 5 bhp, but you'll be a damn...

On a serious note, I've just had a Scorpion exhaust fitted as the standard one, although good, is made of cheese and tin foil. Really nice system, not too loud and a slightly improved power band/delivery/torque you know what I mean.

Rubber Seals?

Well there we go! Cheers guys. Makes you wonder how much Brembo can manufacture them for.

Thanks Tony thats extremely helpful. Our problems were happening at Druids at Brands, not the best place to be cutting out when we wanna be accelerating downhill! Think ill have to bite the bullet and have this installed (along with new discs, pads, ball joints, tyres, windscreen as some muppet...

Thanks Jack ill check that out. Ash, think ill take it to company that did a lot of the race prep for my car and tell them what i need. Im not too confident when it comes to doing things like that myself and trusting it! Main thing is I know what needs to be done now. You mention it needs a...

Thanks for the quick reply Ash, that seems like the best solution, not the cheapest but I don't want to have to keep the fuel on full all the time, especially as I'm probably going to be racing it this year (budget depending!). Would you recommend a 1 litre or 1.5l one? Was thinking Walbro pump...

Hi all, this problem reared it's head at brands hatch last year, but the car has been put to bed for the winter so I just buried my head in the sand until now! Problem is, just after hard cornering the car (172 ph1) has cut out as if it's struggling to pick up fuel, as if all the fuel has...

My Integra is called Kazumi, im considering fitting an aftermarket tartan schoolgirl miniskit to the rear. The Clio is unnamed as yet. Maybe Dave.

What about a black Ph1 with Ph2 rear lights running on OZ ultras or dynamics pro race? Bit old school with a bit of modern smartening up!

Im with Sky insurance as I already have my Integra Type R with them but they brokered me a great deal for my 172 track car, £500 all mods and limited mileage, may be worth giving them a go. Good choice of car, when I was looking to get a track car I went through all kinds of possibilities and...
