Suck me beautiful
by Sy on May.31, 2009, under Mods, The 172
Well after discovering one of the previous chav owners, I assume the same one that thought this fucking exhaust was sik, had drilled the fuck out of the airbox I managed to pick up another from a lad on ClioSport along with a Samco 90° elbow silicone hose and an ITG Profilter panel filter for a good price. So after cleaning and oiling the filter medium I threw it all in. Some people with Ph1s seem to have problems with the Idle Control Valve hose, I just forced the one on the Samco hose into the original hose and all is well. I can’t say that I’ve noticed any gains in performance what so ever but it looks pretty lol. I have however noticed a considerable gain in MPG thanks to the sealed unit not sucking in pure hot air now.

hi there, I have come across your page and like what you’ve done to your car.
I am doing a project on my car with a 172 engine but im having issues… can you tell me where the pipe that is connected to the bottom of the idle air control valve connects to? and there is a breather hose that is connect to the head or rocker cover.. can you tell me where that is supposed to connect to?
cheers
