Why don't I pick you up!! There's no point me paying for the dyno run either so it would be the same for me, my car was on that dyno a couple of weeks ago now and I have the print out, pointless me paying £££ to see what I already know! Lol but yeah Danny if you want me to pick you up from the...
I've now done 2300 very hard miles in mine! So touch wood it's proofing pretty reliable! I have tested it to the max, it's not very often I arnt giving it some, it's taken some stick in the last 3 months!
You going the the RR day on the 7th then Danny? SC Ph1 vs. SC Ph2! Lol
Dont just weld a piece of sheet metal over it! Like Mark One said the boot floor is designed ribbed for strength! Go to renault and buy a 182 boot floor, it wont be expensive, then cut yours out and weld it in! If you just weld a piece if sheet metal in and someone crashes into the back of you...
Haha, it wont like 3rd! remember the power is more top end rev range so bottom end when setting off will be like setting off in 3rd in a standard car.
and yeah I do short shift in the wet and dry in the lower gears, esp 1st, but thats no fun!!! :D
Haha, I luuurrrrvvvveee driving like a TOOL! haha! What a TOOL I am! Thats what superchargers were designed for, so you can drive like a complete and utter TW*T! :rasp:
I dont hit the limiter often but most of the time in 1st and 2nd you cant help it! Especially in the wet!
no there is a definate whining noise, not near as loud as the eaton superchargers on the polo for example. Its the exhaust popping and flames i like when you hit the limiter. I know you shouldnt hit the limter but it sounds soooo good, like a rally car!
TBH it sounds s**t, Paul told me it would but I thought id try it and see, he was right. Until your vacuum gets to 0 its constantly open so on idle and at low revs it makes a VERY annoying hissing sound, but then once you get out of vacuum and into boost it stops hissing as the valve closes then...
Ha, just like I was. I would of chopped by boll*cks off with a rusty saw blade to get mine back when it was there, I know the feeling! Covered over 2000 miles in mine now, still running sweet!!! Sounds like a reet chav mobile at the min!
Fitted a dump valve to mine today, I have had a forge competition one in my toolbox for about 2 years with a 60mm t-piece aswell, its off my old car! Thought I would just see out of interest what it sounds like although on a supercharger there is no real point to it apart from the sound. Only...
I arnt bragging at all, just wanted to see other peoples views! Personnaly over 1/4 mile I dont think mine would beat one but I have never been in one or even seen one floor it to see how quick they are?!
Ferrari vs standard micra! hmmmmm, I reckon the micra personaly but the ferrari may get...
Standing quarter mile, what do you think would be quicker? My 172 is running 252bhp and 204lb ft, is this quicker than a v6 dya rekon? Was just watching vids of them on you tube and its got me thinking! Would love to get up against one!
