I got one yesterday!

clear/chrome ones are my choice

so are you saying you can't run more advance on high octane fuel?

i wish it did. It wouldn't have cost me so much to get my power levels! Lol. V power is good but not 5 bhp on that engine.

Humidity is a measure of water in air. Water has oxygen in it. Does your car perform worse on a foggy day or a dry day? I think you'll find it goes better on a foggy day due to water content. Water injection is mainly used to cool the charge, but will help too

i agree with you. I was saying you will get more power if the car is mapped to super unleaded. Yes i know you get more power from humidity.

they are the same size as the tow hook and 2 of them

don't know. ive got 2 original cans from renault in my garage for my cup.(with the toolkit!) never used them, never going 2. have a look at this: http://www.punctureseal.co.uk/car.htm just an idea if your worried. i usually wear my tires out before any chance of a puncture lol

cos the tyre needs to have no weight on it for tyre weld to do the biz. that little can can't support the weight of your car when pumping up the tyre. why else would a cup have a toolkit? i'm with autonational, if i get a flat, i get them out to take me to a garage. thats what i pay my money for.

you need toolkit to put tireweld in. or save even more weight, some from the boot (take everything out) and some from your wallet (join the AA)

do a search on specs

i think you'll find an oe ecu can't detect octane rating, it may do it through the knock sensor, but i don't know. my old astra had an octane plug that u changed depending on fuel, but that's it.

why would they do that? are they on commision from shell, i doubt it. and working out humity and temp is really sad. I'm running more advance than i should be because i use super unleaded. fact. stop being a hater, and let the guy share his experience

yes they are very skinny on rs wheels. it's always a comprimise between drag and grip

to be perfectly honest, Falkens? your comparing top grip levels with cheap tyres. no toyos and michelins yes. i've had yokos (195) and toyos (215) on mine and never looked back. have you looked at 195's on a track day? they look like they are off the rim ( i know they are pretty close to...

same brand of tyre?

all you haters you may want to read this: http://atlasf1.autosport.com/2000/jan05/gray.html the more wider and lower profile the better, however that then provides more drag. so wider tyres will improve handling but slow you down. and lower profile reduces tyre temps

I'd love to know why people think that 17's or even 18's will ruin the handling? surely that's the whole point of low profile tyres. F1 cars in the 80's had big balloon tyres and now they are really low profile. it just seems to me people say bo**ox for the sake of saying it. next you'll be...

only if it's a modded map. i can't run normal unleaded (not as thou i'd want to) cos my omex is mapped on ultimate and i haven't configured the knock sensor

I believe it works but only if the fuel is mapped so more advance can be put on. Daz

Mmmm kids nowadays. Lol

Oh buggar. Tbh it's not the car's weight i'm worried about! Lol

spotted in lincoln at 9am. Nice number plate VEE 6

can you tell me more? give me sommat to aim for! daz

aint it made out of the thinnest french tin anyway? it'll probably be heavier in fiberglass. lol ;)

too much. originally just the price of parts as i did the work myself, but after running in and on the way to be mapped properly, i spun a big end bearing, trashed the crank and a rod and filled the engine full of bits of metal :eek: . it then cost me about 3k to put that right (GDI rebuilt it)...

yeah and last time i checked a 1.4 is more than capable of killing! mmmmm r5t..... ah yes a 1.4 why don't they say something like bhp limit as it is for new bike riders (33bhp), say 65bhp max for 2 years

It was standard, with s/s exhaust, decat and itg panel it now has 422 cams, gasflowed head, jenvey itb's, 12.6:1 pistons and forged rods, omex 600 - tuned at GDI with 233 bhp (with sports cat) but the sports cat will be off for this sunday. hopeing to get it rr there too to compare daz

with your spec shouldn't be a problem, like i said i had a nearly standard cup and got 14.5. it's all down to launch and traction.;)
