Adams_2k - I got your e-mail but its on my other hard disk which has just gone down, so Im missing your mobile etc. Would you be able to just send it again and Ill pick it up on this computer? Sorry about the hassle!

I had a play in my mums DCi 65 the other week and it feels stronger than the figures suggested (okay, its not lightning quick, but its much better than a 1.2 8v Grande loan clio I had once, and I ragged the ass off that one!) The DCi is dead easy to drive cos its got a good bit of grunt low down...

Id agree with Chun - I had my Mk1 172 done about 10,000 miles ago, and theres very little in it at top end, but in mid range its just a bit sronger - seems to pull a bit more cleanly... I noticed most improvement in 4th gear after having the SuperChip, dont know about anyone else.

Ill be there too! Afternoon would probably be easier for me than evening, but Im not too worried either way...
Adams_2k - do you want to arrange somewhere to meet up and we can both follow your mates directions!?

Im not really up for a thrash either mate - I just wanted to meet some of you other guys - I think thats why a pub was suggested... (I might be wrong though). If you still want to meet on Saturday then thatd be cool, if not then fair enough...

Saturday sounds like it might be the best day then - if somebody can make a decision about where to meet! I dont know the Peaks at all, so cant really suggest any good pubs to meet at...
Forest, Tim, M@thew and Paddy - are you up for it too? (ooh-err!)

Ill probably be in Chesterfield over the weekend, so if you want to meet somewhere we can go together (that sounds quite bad, sorry )
You mentioned picking up your new motor on Mon/Tues - did you manage to find a nice 16v/Willy???

Didnt spot this until now - so I guess Im a bit too late for a meet today! Anyway, if we arrange a meet for next weekend, thatd be cool. I might have to join someone on the way unless the pub is dead easy to find.

Nnnnnnnnoooooooooooo!!!!!!
Why on earth would someone destroy a 172 like that? (Just my opinion of course)
It wasnt a silver one was it - blacked out windows and twin round magnex by any chance? - I used to see that one going round Hemel Hempstead a while ago.
Matt
Hooray! Nice cars... What did the V6 sound like on the rollers? Bet it was nice!!!
Thanks for the info Tim - thats roughly what I was getting from my 172 when it was standard...

I think the problem is that they are linked to a secure backup site which we dont have permission to view! (or something along those lines)
Anyway - 164bhp - is that at the wheels or the calculated flywheel figure? If it was at the flywheel, what did you get at the wheels mate...

Youre doing chuffing well out of the mods you have to get over 200bhp! Ive got a K&N + SuperChip and Im getting about 136bhp at the wheels (180bhp-ish at the flywheel?). Must be the magic of the Magnex eh?!
Supercharging sounds interesting, but Ill let our local turbo-nutter Capt...

Let me know if it fixes the problem - if so then I might have to nip down to Gordon Lambs and get them to sort mine for me too!
Cant understand why it wont be warranty work though, because its a design problem, not wearntear... Might have to have a rant at Renault if thats the case...
