Welcome :smile:
We have a 1.2TCE, they are pretty quick for a 1.2 and have bags of torque. Gears 2/3/4 have an 'overdrive' feature on the turbo.
Don't leave it as standard! Things I would do is:
1. change the suspension
2. get some sport alloys
3. induction kit to help the turbo breath
4...
the standard speakers are s**t imo. They have plastic baskets which is great for weight saving, not so good for a speaker! The magnets are also very small (bigger magnets = better bass response from the voice coil). best thing to do is go to Halfords soundwall and pick a set you like the sound...
its called a dog bone because it look's like a dog bone. :)
The mk2 is a twist rear beam. But unlike the mk1, they don't have a torsion bar as they uses springs instead.
flol at this comment. if you need your car to get you snatch and admirers, then your either ugly as f**k, have a s**t personality or have a BO problem!! lol.
Really impressed with that clio! Good work :)
Obviously the Audi is a nicer car and place to be, but some good work had been done on...
Cant say I have ever seen any reports of a dephaser imploding. Also keep in mind that when these things are properly noisy, you car will sound like a full on old style diesel taxi.
@Diagro are you talking about big bits of metal of filings? If big bits of metal, please explain how it gets into...
Not sure what your asking really there. RSTuners maps are bought from fastchip.nl - you have to have a RSTuner device UNLOCKED to your cars ECU, and a map. The maps are locked to your ECU so you have to buy this also. So you would need a RStuner+Unlock code+Map+Laptop (any windows laptop will do...
my dephaser has been 'slightly noisy' for 4 years. hasn't got any worse. I am getting it hanged with the cambelt though. I can see why he might not have done as they are an extra £150 odd
RSTuner's need to be unlocked to each car, so no one would be able to 'do if for you' without first (1) paying to unlock the RST (2) buying the map for your car (they are ECU locked) and (3) paying to unlock the RST back to there own car.
You would be better off asking to borrow someone's...
tape a speaker magnet onto a pole (golf club or something like) and use it like a metal detector close to the ground. if its there it will pic it up. make sure you get close to the corners / edges.
sounds good! Would be worth learning how to change the cambelt etc on the engine whilst its out of the car (Cant believe its been done for £102)! You will need a new exhaust manifold. I would have thought you cable throttle cable would be ok for the 172 engine. You may also need some new engine...
yep. used it yesterday to try p&b on the ktec. Still doesn't sound anything like Aarons did at that rolling road :( still get a really loud gunshot bang...
but the cost of the 1.2 TCE turbo is like £500, and if it was only low boost and working off the stock ecu, it might make things a lot cheaper than 4k?
@Aaron.. won the last competition with the shot below, well done :smile: Two in a row (with a massive gap in between)! Will he make it a hat-trick?!
As the winner, @Aaron.. got to choose the next theme. He has chosen 'Autumn' as the next theme; very fitting this time of year. Lots of...
