I am bringing the 200 now Jon. As said, going to have my girls with me so have had to promise to take them to Pizza Express afterwards to make up for having to stand around in the cold hearing loud cars for an hour!

LOL at not having Recaros being ghey, GTFO. Standard chairs are light years ahead of what the 172/182s came with...and with just plain fabric technically they're better than the leather ones...more friction to hold you in place :rasp: I do like the leather though :approve:

I get everything I've needed from www.kenable.co.uk - good range of prices and some decent quality items if you need RCA etc.

SRS? I think they look f***ing huge!

LOL, it's bigger than a Clio isn't it? Probably weighs more than one.

Yep, stores it as a CSV and you can email it from within the app, email to self, open gmail on laptop, job done. I think with the full version of the RaceRender software it'll work with the data input file better, plus I haven't really touched the refresh rate of the sampling yet so it is...

Like I said, the speed input file is obviously corrupt, it's reading 10x actual speed, I r SRS. Filmed with an HD camcorder, data recorded using the android app, brought together with the RaceRender video suite. Once you've got the hardware you'll just have to have a play around with the...

...I had no idea this 'technology' was available so cheaply! Bought a bluetooth OBD thingy on eBay, downloaded an android app for the Galaxy S, downloaded a demo version of the RaceRender video suite, played on the road for 20 minutes, played on the laptop for an hour and hey presto. Loads...

Technically pilot holes with a drill are not needed either. I just screwed mine on in about 5 minutes a few track days ago and it's been fine ever since.

Better = faster? Faster = fun? Doesn't work from my experience. Leave it standard, drive it on its door-handles. Maximum fun. Spending no money on mods mean you get to do much much more of the fun bit.

Eh?

Same engine, higher state of tune, 100bhp/litre is never going to be economic. Bigger car, bigger hole needs to be punched through the air, more mass, requires more fuel to get it moving. Simple.

For only 500 miles a month too! That's some serious depreciation/finance cost.

I own a non Cup 200, do 52 miles a day on broken country minor b-roads and a few trackdays a year. Plus I have a family, small kids, that sometimes want to sleep in the back. For me the non-Cup option is absolutely bang on. Here's a direct comparison, back to back, Cup v non Cup by Evo...

Possibly? It's guaranteed! Takes a good few mpg off...you can feel it too if you're rolling along in say 3rd gear at walking pace...put the AC on and it feels like you've stabbed the brakes momentarily, until the ECU ups the fuelling to compensate for the extra load on the engine. Agree about...

I'd just put a lookup on each referring to the other file, and see what's missing that way. Or is that too simple/not possible?

Re: Clio sport convertion! Comedy thread. Comedy responses from the OP. You're a great driver. Keep saying that to yourself.

Right, got it, thanks.

As above. Just had a quick crawl around my 200 in the dark, couldn't find it. Thanks.

These are proper cheap on eBay now so want to pick one up. I've no idea where the OBD port is on the 200, so do I need a specific type, or will pretty much any one from eBay fit? Thanks!

What? That highlight backs up exactly what I said!

105 vs 118 bhp is hardly leagues apart though. If I had a passenger that would even it up and I'd still have loved driving it. Apologies Noddie...wasn't aimed at you specifically!

Agreed...except that's not what they OP asked. I think you've missed the point of this thread. He didn't ask "could I get a refund?" or "could I carry value over to a higher spec stainless exhaust?". He asked if he could get a stainless exhaust as a direct replacement for the mild steel one he...

Yup, was bored and we'd run out of coffee LOL

Nope, although a G-clamp helps. Edit: Ignore this, I thought you meant the fronts. On the rears I believe you have to wind them back in...not sure if there's a specific tool for it though.

So it's lacking a little power...why does that make it horrible to drive? I had some fantastic drives in my 107bhp Ignis, how fast you get propelled down the road is irrelevant to driving enjoyment in my opinion, unless your sole focus is headline bhp figures. On that basis my 200 is horrible...

'tard forum.

To be fair to the exhaust supplier, they've addressed all quality issues as and when you've raised a grievance. In that respect they're doing nothing wrong at all. To expect a stainless exhaust when you paid for and have had a lower spec mild steel one is unreasonable...you get what you pay for.

Why horrible to drive?

This is a very good habit to get into...once you realise you're behind an imbecile, treat them as such.
