They just usually do. Don't know why but they do... 172 is PS not bhp if it makes any oddsI'm still running standard power but it's about 990kg with not too different suspension etc. The eibachs are quite soft but it all works well for a road car, rear beam set about -20mm. I'm a lover of the standard rear steering so don't have fixed mounts. Otherwise I run -1.5 front camber (more castor too), xsara trailing arms, 21mm bars with hybrid arb & koni adj dampers, KW v2s on 285 springs. It's an ok budget b road to track setup. C5 wheels with AD08R although might swap to some td pro race 3 for better brake cooling. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Decats are a waste of time and money on std engined cars imo ? You always think a mod makes the car faster or better as you went to all the effort to do it ? In reality it made no difference or actually made less power or the car slower ! A £100 decat will not gain anything accept a p**sed off mot tester ! Oh and it ruins middle boxes for some reason ? Well it used to with the old type scorpion middle box |

Well I'll take a positive in that mine sits absolutely side by side with a good mates healthy 172 :-) (phase 2 Non cup) |

BUMP!Fitted a Piper decat on my phase 1 XSI with RFS engine fitted. It goes much more rapid through higher revs. No apparent difference at lower revs. Not much difference in sound, though. But maybe that is because the centre box is still fitted. In the process of fitting a decat to the S16 as well. Wondering if it will pull through the higher revs quicker as well. The S16 does not have a centre box... By the way: the difference between cat and decat on CO: 0.01 Found this out when my XSI got its Dutch MOT. I can imagine some decatted GTI's and Rallyes pass MOT. ________________________________________ My car park:'96 Sigma Blue XSi6 '98 Diablo Red GTi6 '99 Onyx Black S16 All RFS powered!
