Right, so my Clio is decatted, runs fine, smells quite strong of petrol but I assume is down to the decat and I'm getting 32mpg mixed driving although mainly round town.
My emissions light has been on, again down to decat I assume. Got my mate to plug it into his handheld code reader and I got...
Met up with a friend last night who takes some pretty decent photo's, saw some of his previous pics of a friends car and really wanted some of the Clio. Really pleased with the results, cheers Matt.
You can buy the decat pipes direct from K-tec I believe, depending on what system it is, I have the KTR/Janspeed ultra and they have pipe specifically for it, cost about £50/60 I think.
As already said, if it is running a standard OEM map then when you start it up in the mornings and drive it up the road it will feel really lumpy and hesitant, you'll be able to feel the difference as soon as its warm. If it were decatted it would pop loads on cold start on the standard map...
As stated, little touches mainly, although I'm not personally into carbon, think its getting borderline tacky as most the stuff these days is just shite wrap. Bonnet, roof etc is abit ott and tryhard. Fresh ftw.
Leave it a week though for it to settle because if you get it done straight away it will more than likely go out slightly. You wont burn through tyres in a week.
I believe the knocking to be where the spring compresses into itself the coils catch each other. Now I have the springs out you can see where have rubbed on each other. And yes, I shall let you know once I have the other springs mate. Where did you buys yours from??
I purchased them off of a member on here, they are Raceland/K-tec rear springs. I have been in contact with David at K-tec today and he has managed to get in contact with their Vmaxx supplier who I have emailed and they are going to send me out some vmaxx replacement springs. So depending what...
Well that was before, this is now, just spent half an hour putting some different rear springs in and its perfect! I can now adjust the rear properly and carry people in the back without it scraping its arse.
Even though mine was alot worse, I think they'd just write yours off mate. I was lucky, I had a young guy walk round the car with me and he saw how utterly gutted I was and said how tidy the car looked so he said he didn't want to write it off for me as he knew they could repair it :)
