new car itb'd 172 :)



  200bhp itb'd iceberg
hi all!

some of you may recognise the car off here as seans old car =]

picked it up 2 weekends ago been quite busy so not really had chance to post any pics!
Due to the spec of the car it was certain which direction i was going to go in... road/track car

i decided i wanted a cage and found a k-tech bolt in alloy show cage up for sale on here, so trecked to blackpool to pick it up! thanks to jaffa182.

i decided i didnt like the chrome finish it had so started to have a think on what colour to go for, the car was pretty subtle with the anthracite and carbon fibre so thought about having it powder coated anthracite to match but looking at some cars online i wanted the cage to stand out, so took the cage into work and got it sand blasted ready to be powder coated heres the finish i managed to get

Was pretty pleased with it and managed to find a powder coaters round the corner from my place of work called protech powder coatings.I popped in and had a chat with the bloke and came to the conclusion the cage was goin to end up yellow! lol took him no longer than 4 hours to complete the cage and rear strut brace, got the cage back same day was really impressed with the quality of work and service he offerd even gave me a small pot of touch up incase it gets chipped! lol

anyway car was lookin rather grubby today so gave it a clean and fitted the cage

Engine bay pics?

IMO dont over do it with the yellow.

I just have orange wheels, wing mirrors and the 2 dash stripes.

Some people do everything they can take off in a bright colour and i dont think it looks as nice.

So the dash strips and wheel decals, sound perfect :)

I know my wheels arnt subtle but its just a phase lol

When you strip it it'll get a lot louder, just warning ya :)

I'm assuming your gona strip the rear as you obviously wont get any one in the rear with zee fixed buckets :)

Looks good!

Get rid of the socks asap. There pish! Fit the ktec filter instead!

Also, your missing a bolt from the ITB manifold to the head?

not sure if the k-tech filter will fit because of the air con?

oh yeah! only just realised this! good spot mate thanks

Socks are very restrictive. Fitting K-tecs new filter will improve everything to do with your engine. Better throttle response, power ect.

ahh i see will have to wait till next pay day then
i dont fancy running it with out any socks atm especialy with the weather the way it is all the salt around etc
