I went to an indipendant tyre/wheel/exhaust specialist to get my wheels (and locking nuts) and they told me they could get any anything off. No-matter what kind of nut it was they had something that could undo it. Pop along to a place like this and they should be able to help you. Once they are...
Depends on what kind of chip you get, if you get a fully modifiable chip you will (as far as I know) take it along to somewhere with a rolling road to get it all setup properly. Then everytime you get a mod have it setup again.
Places like hill power have a basic setup chip then slightly...
Thats true Steve, but they are popular cars. They are probably the most commen on the roads around here. Them and tractors. But if people are buying them in there thousands and they have the problems like my mum and dad have then surely Renault are allowed a few bad examples.

Well the RT does 45-50 in second. So its quite feasable, its got double the valves and 600cc more. Oh and double BHP.
Oh and if anyone I knew came back and said my car did anything like that in second they would be dead before they finished there sentance.

Some cars do run better on different manafactures fuels anyway. I know mine runs better on shell and bp petrol over sainsburys. I used to put sainsburys in all the time (it was just easier) but I had to put shell in at one point and I noticed it was better. The same with BP. But as I am putting...
As far as I can work out your rev limeter can be inreased sometimes. It depends on what you have done. Of course chipping your car in the first place puts extra wear on it, so increasing the revs a bit wouldnt concern me, not that I ever red (sorry thick white) line it anyway.

My dad drives a Vauxhall and has loads of problems, especially with starting and keeping the thing going. No other problems.
My mum drives a ford and she has problems with it starting and keep going. Also has a few rust problems.
I drive a renault and it starts perfectly and never cuts out...
The mechanic mate usually checks everything, but I will make sure he has a look at them. He is trying to figure out my flat spot aswell, so no doubt everything to do with the ignition will be played and checked with anyway.

Its being done by a family friend (the best mechanic I have ever met) in the next 2 weeks. He needs it for a few days so its got te be when I dont need it.
What is a dizzi cap and rotar arm?

Its not been serviced for well over 18 months. I told my dad it needed doing, he insisted it didnt. Found the service book the other day, proved me right. Saying that though, I only thought it had been just over a year. 13 months or something. Still what cant talk cant lie as they say.

That someone was me. Go look for a topic marked "I am not impressed, not a bit (RT) or something like that. I did a test last night and got approx 17 seconds 0-60. Not impressed at all. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Still as Essex Lad says, chip, induction and exhaust. There isnt really any point in...
I am lucky, I got roads all around me that are just big and open. Nice for testing, only problem is getting on them without tractors...grrrr countryside.

I reckon all my stuff (wheel, audio shelf and sub) is going to weigh as much as an average person. So with the seats out aswell I think you will make a decent waight saving. Thats my plan anyway.
Paul
Rajk scan it in and I will host it. I feel a lot of people might be interested in it. I will also need to give it a read in a few months...well I say a few months, probably going to be about a year.
Paul
I will try timming it again tommorow. With and without someone in the car (passanger I mean, odviosly I need to be there). I will try several different runs.
Paul
If its this one, its a Hill Power one.

When the insurance asked me what could have prevented me hitting that deer in scotland. I told them a drouge chute (braking parachute) would have. They shut up asking stupid questions after that.

ps I dropped my keyboard, now I have yellow text, even if I change it in the colour...
