I have absolutely zero idea what rolling road gave you a 190 bhp figure. It's POSSIBLE, but unlikely.
Basically gains from exhaust, filter and map will see you sub 10bhp increase. It's all about making them more driveable and the key to getting the car to be faster, is putting it on a diet...
Looking good.
If you're handy with a DA you can get those headlights looking like new, or you can get hold of a 3M kit for them. Makes a world of difference to the appearance of the front end. It already looks to be lowered a tad so possibly been done on springs. Look low enough to have been...
I say this whenever TDI North are mentioned but take their figures with a pinch of salt. Standard 172's run either exactly 172 or above.
Their work is superb quality and I've never actually heard a bad word about them, but their RR figures are a little high, but if you get the car dyno'd as...
Take it in the school, and take it further. You want him to pay for the damage, I couldn't care less if your insurance will repair a chip for free or not, you make them pay whatever the cost to do it without insurance is. It'll soon teach them a lesson.
I'd also get the police involved, it's...
Very quick update, more for my reference than anything.
The Monaco used to average 25-26 MPG on the daily commute.
197 averaged 21-23 MPG pre-map
197 averaging 25 MPG so far post map.
Pretty happy with that tbh.
That's lovely. Interior looks superb against that colour!
Lots of want although I'm not sure on the wheels, just something about that wheel doesn't look quite right, I think they look a bit too dated for the car.
Love it. I remember when you'd just got it and brought it up to KK's, absolute steal it was.
I honestly can't believe you've had it so long tbh! I think in that time I've had:
Clio 1.2
Mk5 ZS
Ph1 306 D Turbo
Clio 1.2
Monaco 172
197
I think the Trophy is tidier now than it was when you got...
Well yesterday fixed my knocking exhaust, replaced the gearknob, sorted the binding brake.

So I figured that after hearing a knocking from the exhaust towards the rear of the car on overrun I'd have a look today, seeing as I also wanted to set the exhaust clamps so they weren't hanging down and catching on speedbumps.

I meant happy as in he wasn't expecting it to increase that much lol!
And yeah, over the moon with it, didn't go for the power gain because quite frankly it's not noticeable and never would expect it to be, went to make it nicer to drive which it is. Much nicer.
So went to RS Tuning today and had the car mapped. Paul said it was the worst flat spot he'd seen from just a catback. Ended up with a decent gain and the car is SO much more driveable now.
Before: 178.7 BHP
After: 185.6 BHP
Not sure what these usually run but Paul said it's about right for...

Afternoon,
So I'm after a replacement Canon body. Ideally want to spend about £300 on quite literally just a body, not REALLY interested in the kit lens that would have originally come with it.
I did have a 400D but I've resigned myself to the fact I'll never be getting that back.
Only...
