tbh i think ul be pretty even all the way, those things much weight loads more than ours any way, he'll probs wont pass you he might get level with you, i think????? :S????
k-tech say on there website that there 197 remap gives a 20 lbs/ft and 9 bhp increase, now ive got a green cotton panel filter and a yozza decat catback, will the remap make much differnece?
it was a 2001 y reg, so duno wot mrk that makes it, i know it dnt need to go past 5500 rpm but why show 8k? lol, its im just used to hitting 7500-8k rpm now coz both my 197 and my rx 7 hit that high :)
had a play last night, and i can honestly say i absoultley destroyed him :D, didnt stand a chance. and driving skills were probs bout the same but ive prob got the edge over him. standing starts/rolling starts from 10-20mph and booting from 70 i pulled away every time. from standing and...
a bit off the subject, ive seen a cosworth engined one a couple of times in brighton with a stupidly wide body kit, looks ugly imo but f*** me the wastegate is loud, must easily be running over 400 bhp. anyone know him?
duno if its bin posted before but here we go;
hello all,
my mate has just brought a seat ibiza cupra on a 2001 plate, have no idea if its a r or not.
he wants to have a little play later today, was wondering if any one has messed around with one before, and what im to expect?
thanks drifter197 :)
just got back from the the show at londons excel building and thought id post some pictures, sorry for the quality of some of the photos but it was very very busy. any way
LFA engine with throttle bodies which is standard
A CLS and a C class Brabus
Mazda Furia (rotary powered)...
its not "if ive got that much money get a better faster car", its about creating your own car if you can afford it, and i have got a faster car any way, i just love the way the 197 looks, and like iridium said its a shame renault would never realse a clio230. any way i did say i was probs...
i looked into throttle bodies and that £5000 plus, turbo's gonna be more than that probs £1500 more than trottle bodies, also am i right to believe you only get around 40-50 bhp from throttle bodies??? which would be 237-247bhp, a remapped meg 225 gives 257 bhp from the standard engine, now...
i mean dropping a engine from a megane into a 197
dont know if it sounds stupid, dont too me
would it make sense? has it been done before?
or if i was to get hold of a second hand (from a salvaged megane) turbo, manifold, i/c etc... would it bolt on to the 197 engine? would cost alot?
id say wait mate, i think ud be more likely to rag the car round corners coz its lowered and not being rude but more likely too cause accidents as ud be inexperienced, id personally give it a month or two or even three months to just get used too the car properly first with ur full driving...
im averageing at around 22 mpg, the best i have ever had was 29 and that didnt last long, i think it all depends on your foot mate, im normally around 20mpg, cant seem to keep my foot of the pedal lol :D
ive got a yozzasport system with de-cat fitted and no mid silencer!, and its not loud at all(probs about 20-30% louder than standard), just sounds awsome :D, and pops and bangs as well. mid range is a hell of a lot better and but the lower rev range is very flat (between 1k-3k, well thats wot i...
yep you guys are right there not for my car :cry::mad::cry::mad:
its not fair i had to wait 3 weeks for them bloody coilovers, when i took the standard shock out i thought i never looked right (oh i started today around 7 pm as the weather got good), so i called the shop and asked if the right...
