Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1
Bommer dont under estimate the Meggy's they wont be far behind!!!! Car is looking good mate, if a ring trip is on the cards I am in!!! One thing you guy are going to need to price up is a LSD as Adey's could do with one, but it goes like...
To be fair nick has never been happy as the car has never been right since it had the trottle bodies, you only have to read all the posts to see that! I also wouldnt try taking leagal action on nick as i dont think you would have a leg to stand on. All i needed was you to give at least some of...
Nick is spot on that 350z did have the engine in!!! And that unit is never 450K, you do take some s1ht and the boy's on passion ford which i know from my cossy days of old also say the same!!! The way the loom was cut was not ideal as the ends were not insulated just tape round the whole loom...
This company is a joke, they said they would keep the end of the ecu plug on the car but they cut it out. There is only one reason why they have done this, just to p*ss nick off as he lost faith in them.
Sir Dave You are right in most of what you say bud, but when he got it back I cant see where the 182 bhp figure came from it was guttless and couldnt keep up with a stock 172 cup!!! But more importantly it was overfuleing I had to drive it home and thought i was going to pass out with fuel...
There is more to this than it just got 155 bhp, the RR graph was all over the place when we had a look at it!! Also they started working on the car first, then when nick asked have you done the RR test before you start (He asked them a few times for the results) they said they will have to put...
Well said that man, When ever i have had any of my VAG car's and yours for that matter nick, they always have a health check before mapping which saves this type of problem happening!! But it's got worse since it came back !!! Cant you put the car back standard and see how it runs. Nick has a...
I am probbably being unfair as the clios i have driven where ph1's and were all modified more than nick's (ITBed) it ran smoothly but did not feel as fast as mine which is totaly stripped out (ph1's are always quicker LOL) and nick has that cage and more of the interior left!!
But any way how...
Glad to see you are getting it sorted matt, nick is feeling well happy now you (and help from sideways danny) have sused the problems. I am a bit suprised you didnt think something was up with it before you started this job as it was the slowest 172 i have ever drove before, especialy as you...
How would you know Nicky you didnt have to fit it!!!;) And you need to take very peice of trim out to make it fit, it took a fair while to fit, but i do agree, the quality is very good indeed.
When finished bud I would get a proper price sorted as I know nick beat you down to a low price which he said you arnt making much money out of this job. I think you will have a long que of people wanting this done once you have sorted nicks car at £2100!!
Nick was too tight to go to a Renault specialist!!! He did not want to spend the money!! Lesson lernt me thinks. Good on Mtech for putting in the effort to sort this out!:approve:
Bottom line is after driving it home it was horrid, the performance was poor after you said it went very well on the road!! It stinks of fuel and has lost all the low down throttle response it used to have, even though it has got a bit more grunt higher up the rev range. As far as the wiring...
I drove the car home and it is deffo not right. There is no low down grunt and the power does not come till it comes on cam. It also stinks of fuel inside the car and from the exhaust you can smell un burnt fuel!! The wiring needs tidying up too. So I agree send it back, but I am still not...
Got a ph2 bumper going on next week, got a new gear box to go in too. The list of changes is vast, it has the cup set up so the air con is gone,new yokahama prada sp2 tyers, new engine mounts,bushes,rear brakes,painted inside,removed all sound proofing,flocked dash, engine painted,v6 clio...
You are right that was a brown pants moment!!! Adey was with his bird so it was my mate ash in the passenger seat, he was S++ting it also, that MR2 came off 3 times that day, love that track just needed a lot more track time!!! Think it might be time for a supercharger soon though! Grate pic's...
