tbh lol ive been looking for a cheap 172 cup or non cup to strip and abuse

 

[MikeLYR27]

U seen the prices of some cups?!? Crazy!! Some are 4k plus and are sheds!!! Just because it had nothing inside or spec some people think it warrants the price lol?!?

 

[182michael]

I was thinking about speedlines for my ly.... you've just sold the idea lol

Great read mate. New to the forum and just read the whole thread there. Great work and can;t wait to see more progress

 

[MikeLYR27]

Just picked this up on friday night as my run about, then saturday morning it was in jamsport for sportlines, ABR and camber bolts lol!! This is an awesome setup for the car!! The car is mint, needs a good clay etc tho! 1 owner from new every bit of paper work for the car, cambelt all done and the engine feels very strong! A steal at 4k! The supercharged R27 will be left for track and general fun

Few pics

[Rick197]

I found out they are actually the proline spring mate, 20mm at the front and 15 at the rear. Fantastic spring, nice and progressive, its eliminated the roll but still soaks up the bumps, feels like standard but more stable. Great fun on a bumpy b road its so grippy!

Cheers for all the comments guys.

The R27 has been at jamsport the last few weeks so i should find out another update at the beginning of the week!

 

[harvey197]

any update on this then mike, iam hungry for power after seing the thread on the 172 turbo.

 

[smiler]

do you need to change the diffuser for the akro mate??

 

[tzatzichi]

Does this car have a supercharger or not?

 

[MikeLYR27]

Does this car have a supercharger or not?

Errr yes?!

It's got it's new ecu installed just needs a crank sensor fitting and something else I can't remember lol then map it

No mate I had a 197 diffuser on at 1st.

yeah he has, but was only allowed 5k revs, the mechanical side of things was easy from what mike has told me, but the ecu if a ****ing BIG pain in the backside, which is whats holding things up

 

[tzatzichi]

Where do you map the car? When do you think it wil be ready? Can we see some pics with the charger installed? Cheers

 

[MikeLYR27]

I ran it for 3 months arran, no probs with it. Basically what Jonesy has said the ecu is a c**t! So it's getting piggy backed with an aftermarket. It was running to much boost which is why I could only take it so far, but from a day to day point of view it was like standard.

Tzatacki, read the thread, mapped at jamsport, all the work has been carried out there, pictures for everything are buried in this thread. Hopefully done for Christmas.
