When i had my old phase 2 wheels on, one front one seemed to fall down to 25psi every week whereas the other front tyre maintained 35psi. Theres no offending object and their new tyres on front. The same happens with the rears. Just bad tyres? Or wheels have erroded and no longer has a...

Mine feels like that but it just gets full throttle slighty before completly flooring the pedal i think anyway.

Hill Power chip only £160, de-cat reduced torque at low revs and speeds in my experiance. Id think a power boost valve would give you around 5bhp and a chip a little more.

Good buy fella! Take my word for it, no alloys will make a blue phase 2 16v look better and still handle and accelerate as well as the orginals. SO DONT BUY NEW ALLOYS! Spend your cash on lowering, chip, boost valve, cams, gas flowed head, etc. and looking after it. ;) Blue is the best...

Absoulutely the ugliest hot hatch EVERY built in standard form. Ive been to a cruise in Warrington and there was the only nice one id every seen, plus it looked quicker than a valver unfortunatly. I REALLY liked THAT perticular one but all the others id seen were eye soars. :cool:

Yeah GirlRacer but with the 16v the system sometimes kicks in at slow speed when it doesnt need to and instead of stopping you roll on about 10 metres. Wierd but everyone with a 16v ABS has the same prob so i found. It is very good when coming to a quick stop from 40 onwards but can be a pain at...

Still goin strong mate? What you gonna do when the crank caves, rebuild or a new one?

Mk1 and should beat V6 Clios for fun.

Wheel spin i take it bambam not Turbo spin cause you want that! I think the badges, the door transfers, front silver mesh and BB Tuning stickers on vent look AMAZING. Why have a car that can take on 911 Turbos, and the 911 driver thinking your not worthy? Nick get the turbo badge surely...

Ive heard that they dont treat customers with respect and are Quote: up there own arses Unquote. There work on your car is worth it though as theyve the best rep of any car tuners of any manufacturer the the UK in my opinion and i cant wait to get my 300bhp (well maybe 200bhp) Turbo fitted to...

Dont get to giddy. Still gotta run it in for a THOUSAND miles. He he.

Knob! (i mean the golf driver by the way)

As ive found out, fitting a de-cat (K-Tecs unsilenced) actually reduces torqe through 1st and 2nd however vastly improves power at high speeds and putting foot down in 5th from a cruising speed. However i prefer to be put back in my seat in first and second rather than be quicker at silly...

High performance cars, low performance drivers. Tut, tut. :(

The new Max Power thats jus come out? Ill be purchasing that tomorrow then. ;)

Well in absoulate contrast to myky16; like i said, ive had my cat put back on. OMG, Amazing, acceraltion due to torque is WELL up! I really couldnt believe it, i thought i was just set into my valvers performance but it is honestly like having nos fitted. My face when putting foot down after...

Ive come to the conclusion that my de-cat pipe had reduced torque and wider wheels emphasised this loss. I KNOW this cause i had some work done today and got the guy to put my cat back on while he was doing it, to descover the difference! OMG! Bu*ger me! Its like have a turbo fitted. I cant...

Ill try and do it at the weekend. WHITE wheels REALLY stand out against black car. ;)

I reckon id be able to tell Colin. ;) Im having the cat put back on today so ill post the difference it makes late tonight. I remember when i had it fitted the pick-up felt a bit breathless at low speeds but at top end pick up was immense! Ill update on the situation later.

I prefer the sterdier drive with 195 tyres on too. Tom, uve reasured me, cause if it only puts a second on a 1.2 then it should put less than .5 on my valver but ill be getting better starts due to improved grip. ;)

My valver does. Sure youve got the right one for your car?

I had a Scorpion cat-back Xorst on my valver before fitting my de-cat, so i was wondering if the bore was TOO big for a striaght through pipe (air struggles to be forced through at lower revs), and if maybe the cat gives it the correct balance for air flow at lower speeds at least? Maybe your...

Im considering doing that now, just cause i think torque is suspect when engine isnt REALLY working, but then again i havnt thought twice about it since being mentioned hear. Hummmm. I know it sounds louder which i like! :D

Yeah, ill mention that, cheers Ben. ;)

So what about on 16vs then? Whos had a 16v de-cat pipe and noticed improvements or not as the case may be?

Im not sure my hangers are the same as yours. Ill get my mate to buy me some clamps though and srew them in and strap round exhaust and tighten it. Is that what you mean Adi? I noticed that mines a bit short on hangers though.

What do people hear use when at race meetings or santa pod? And whats the differnences in times (between 15, 16, 17")?

Just had 16" (Speedline Chrono) 195 45 wheels & tyres put on after running on my originals and i seem to notice a poorer acceraltion. Is this down to me having Yoko tyres which deffinetly make it a smoother ride but is this why it FEELS like its got less pull? Any 0-60 times to back-up my...

Amazingly, when at quick fit today one of there quality mechanics stated that he knew for a FACT that de-cat pipes lower ur performane. Anyway i humoured the guy before driving off! Now, what his he on about? I definetly noticed a gain when i had mine fitted!
