Like everything there appears to be mixed views on how good the SMT units are. They have their limitations. Stand alones are only for the hardcore lot. ECU mapping is the way forward imo

Yeah, Iceberg defo

Throttle body , leaky gasket

do you mean lower the clutch so the biting point is lower?

Sure i got a quote for 80 odd quid a pair. that was a while back tho.

So its definitely worth me going out buying a 2nd one then ?

PMSL cant even work out a decent average from that lot of results. My pretend rolling road gives me a genuine 400 at the wheel ;)

all with the same mods ?

Anyone got any tips on how to get that rubberised film off mk1 172 door grabs?? Just bought a spare set off ebay. Had my original ones sanded down and sprayed up but folk with rings on keep scratching it seen as its been non factory painted. If i can get the film off these new ones they...

Yeah passive cross-over, i think lol What do they do anyway? I thought it was something to do with sound clarity

Ive been so close to giving up on mine myself too and am like you kinda wondering if i did the right thing tuning the engine considering the money spent. With mine it seems everytime i get one problem sorted another one crops up. i have a list as long as my arm of the jobs i want doing to...

Im pretty poo when it comes to the ICE side of things but over a year back i got a mate to wire up my system and recently found that ive got the speakers pluged through only one active crossover. Do you usually get 2 crossovers in a pack of components and if so, will there be any less sound...

What cat did they convert? Think where gonna have a go with a Vauxhall cat cos there very short i belive.

LAD have a bad reputation ( a lot spread through word of mouth) but out of interest has anyone seen a LAD Clio in action? no broken down jokes lol Dont think ive ever taken a car to any garage and had everything sorted 1st time or to my complete satisfaction. Mind you, everything you buy...

Got 2 of the double barrel type ones for sale. Say 30 quid each ? I'd have to look into the postage costs. 182 one 40 notes again plus P&P Going back to the topic, its easy to do as long as youve got someone who's a dab hander with a welder to do the cutting and shutting

Not sure about Star Performance but it only got RR there to check the fueling/AFR and not to get a mega BHP power run.

ive already got 2 172 cats sitting here so no lol

Pretty easy to make the link pipe (i just cut down a janspeed decat) but we couldnt make the 182 cat fit for MOT time cos its too long and it would have meant hacking a bit out the middle which would result in damaging the internal crap. 182 cat for sale btw ;)

yeah

Stoodie what piggy back are you using ?? I went to Dastek coming on 2 years back and they couldnt map my car (obviously never told me this) cos they didnt know what to do so tried to cover it up by blaming it on the car running lean and them needing to by-pass the fuel regulator !! They...

When its reving to 1500, lift the bonnet and make sure the throttle pulley thing (the bit where the throttle cable fits in) cable is sitting against the wee idle grub screw on the TB and its fully back in its idle position. Mine kept reving up and it took months to find out what it was. It...

Got to say i too like the look of the twin charger system but the only problem is to make a IK fit just below the battery it needs to be tiny and because of this will it not be too small and restrictive for a 2ltr engine? ITG sell universal IK's and they have different maximum bhp ratings...

If it was me get your next one done at 72 thousand and the following one at 84 and so on and so on .......

And what a gain it gets from those 2 performance items. Defo a higher risk now than b4 ;)

Nah, il just get the SMT remapped from someone who has experience of them :)

think the K-tec one is pretty loud from what ive read. not sure what you mean about the Magnex droaning. I cant fault it at all bar the daft back box's. Really quiet system for the bore

Yeah totally agree. Its dead easy to make up a cable and download the software but knowing how to map this unit comes with experience. Guy who mapped it said something about the SMT looks like it can run 2 different maps on the same unit enabling it to be switched over from one map to...

Just a local mapping guy. Im not giving out names simply because its not a fact that he's shite at mapping but is to do with he dosent know how a SMT6 really works on this car. There's loads of stuff and different areas to a SMT that can be messed with, such as ignition but dont actually...

slooooowwwwww

Would have thought it would be 2.5inch
