170Rowe it's a nice local road. We have a few near me that are similar to this. They wind up and over the mountains. I'm also not far from brecon black mountains. Been over there in other cars but not focus yet.
Great series of video’s TRULLY appreciated! I’m considering the head porting you did. What cam did you end up with? What do you recommend for a performance street cam with considerable performance mods (but still dual stage OEM intake manifold) and ECU? Thanks
Andy Lambert yes still on standard calipers. Iv have a new set of pads to go on in next few days. Ds3000 front and godspeed kevlar pads on rear. Been running that setup for a few yrs now.
Hey, was it on stock exhaust? I recently bought ST170, but it came with after market one and well... It may sound appealing for 16yo because its freaking loud, but thats all. So.. Any tips how to make it sound like yours?
Its kinda a stupid thing to ask but how much did it impact the fuel economy of the car? I mean i know they are good with economy to start with but just wondering with that mod setup.
aca2081 hi. Fuel economy is worse than standard. Hard to say how much worse but on track it's pretty thirsty. On the motorways it's probably 20% worse at a guess.
Spark Plug Steve do you mostly drive on motorways with it and never in city or? Im asking because i have an ST170 and thinking of adding some power but want to keep it as a daily driver also. But since in the city i get around 12l/100 km was wondering about how bad would the fuel economy go.
@@alexrenault3620 just 3 wires on tps , they are connected to my me221ecu and then just needs calibrating in the software. pretty straightforward. iv decided to break the car now so everything will be for sale soon.
Dude that's meaty... sounds incredible! This is genuine motivation to get my project going!
CHRIS NIRO cheers mate thanks for watching.

170Rowe yes can't wait. Just hope we all have an evening with no breakdowns.
didn't expect to see maerdy mountain on youtube. mainly the rhigos and bwlch i drive over. did you raise the redline much to make 200 brake?
I can't remember the rpm limit now. Maybe 7600 ish.
Lovely roads.
love the car mate its so cool, just wondering if that was a gear stick extension i saw and if so where did you get it from?
Brilliant video, and we'll done on getting 600 subscribers Steve 😁.
Paul Thompson thanks v much.

beautiful sound. do you know how much the cars weights. looks quite nippy for 200hp
Thank you
Hi Steve, I've watched your st170 build and I'm wondering if you have to run any type of aftermarket fuel system with the me221 or me442. thanks
Always wondered , do you miss this old girl Al all or not?
She got some kick I like it how much would it cost to make my car the same
Happy dayz ay think I’m gonna have to take my st170 to you to play with it happy ST170 dayz ay

Spark Plug Steve well thanks for the info :) and nice vid

Hi steve
Wicked build it was
How did u get tps signal (gsxr or st)
you use the gsxr tps.
@@Sparkplugsteve ace thanks
Is it simply pigtail the primary tps?
@@alexrenault3620 just 3 wires on tps , they are connected to my me221ecu and then just needs calibrating in the software. pretty straightforward. iv decided to break the car now so everything will be for sale soon.
@@Sparkplugsteve only reason for asking is doing itbs on stock ecu for my Renault thanks
Absolutely love watching this car. Do you still own it?
Roughly what do you think it cost for all the engine mods?
Thanks
Jon
Na I don't own it now. I broke it fir parts and scrapped the shell which was a silly mistake as it was rust free
Maerdy mountain top of my valley
Nice 👍
Nathan Lewis ta butt.
Is the head stock other than the porting and skimming?
Yes it is.
Suspension sounds nice and compliant :D
Carl Richards it's not bad. Thanks for watching.
