Excited to have a play with the settings, I'll keep that in mind cheers ! Yeah the dealer did think it was a bit strange too, suspect it's because the cars been sat for days and not moved :)

I'm hoping so ! The garage found a new order that matches the spec I wanted (LY, Bose and exhaust) that ships from the factory mid April, he's going to let me know in the next few days if he's secured it. Saves me waiting until the end of June for one to be built :)

Indeed just popped into drive, was very pleasant pottering about, the jerking was gone after 5 minutes or so ! Then tried sport mode and finally race, tried shifting with the stick but to be honest, I think I preferred to let sport do it's thing and paddles to shift down. I was quite suprised...

Popped back into the Sunderland branch yesterday, paid the £500 deposit and they drove me down to Middlesbrough to test drive the car today - took me about 30 seconds to get used to the gearbox, I had concerns about the paddle feel when I sat in it last - after driving it I actually like them...

Happy to ! I would say My local branch in Sunderland was really helpful, they just didn't have a car in for me to test - I'll be popping back to them at the end of the week to see what they can do.

Tell me about it, 25k with the bits I wanted and I basically just got to sit in it, seemed very reluctant to put any miles on the one they had in so I do suspect even with a deposit, the test drive would be down the road and back. Form what I've heard you can just walk into ford and drive an ST...

Tried to testdrive one of these yesterday, wouldn't let me near it until I'd placed a sizeable deposit. Gutting thing is I genuinely want to buy one, but reluctant to hand any cash over before atleast seeing how it drives given the reviews. I did get the sit in it though, special car, paddles...

It won't set the world alight, but you do get a slight increase in induction noise (Negligible) and the ability to wash and reuse it. If either of those point's tick a box, I'd say it's worth it.

Agreed it does seem a stretch from 220 to 300, however we know this is a MR16DDT Nissan lump which is shared with the juke - Renault went with a slightly bigger turbo for the 220, according to this bloke the OEM turbo "Will max out around 20psi or just under 300" so perhaps it's possible !

Be interesting to know if it's got 300 in it, thing would be potent for sure. Supersprint have said around 10hp from their system so perhaps 260 may be as far as you can take it.

Shifts ! Think there will be much more to gain from intake/exhaust mods ? Does anybody know what turbo the 220 uses yet for a realistic max before mega money is required ?

True, you can't help but worry about durability when it's exceeding the manufacturers limit though, especially when it's a pretty intricate piece of kit. it's perhaps the reason the Clio makes less torque the Pergeot and Ford offerings. Actually hoping the recommendation is very reserved...

Be interesting to see how the boxes cope with remapped torque, the box is already at its limit according to getrag. http://www.getrag.com/media/products/powershift/6dct250/20150915_GETRAG_Press_information_6DCT250.pdf

I've had 5 and I'm 27... Use my PH1 daily 20k miles a year. Sometimes I do pull into the office car park and think "I should get something proper" Tends to get forgotten when drive it home at the end of the day.

I did have a play with the diff, genuinely think it improved cornering but found it really hurt that tight corner in the second sector, also had a habit of spinning you just after the exit (mind I had the force thingy setting set to max) try putting some more pressure in the front right wheel, I...

Well that was seriously difficult ! I found the more you tune it, the more stable the car was to drive, but ultimately a smidgen slower. Changes I made: Brake Pressure: 100% Front right tyre: +0.1 bar (Corner does not see as much heat) Steering ratio: 18.9.1 Brake mapping: 8

Updated time for me, struggle to take any time out of sector 2 and 3, just can't seem to carry enough on that first corner !

It's so close at the top ! Done a few stints and managed to get a 0:47.780 - Painfully close :)

First time I've seen this ! Just done a few laps and best I've managed so far; PC/Wheel/No assists

Got to be up there, seen it at York raceway one year, properly rapid.

If memory serves this is the spanner you need for the rod ends, got mine from here and it got my PH1 ends off without any issues: http://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/tools/spanners-wrenches/laser-fan-spanner-32-36mm

Standard offset wheels and/or spacers fitted ?

1x Red PH1 1.2 (Bonnet latch failed) 1x Black PH2 1.4 (UCH Failed) 1x Titanium PH1 172 (Timing belt failed) 1x Flame Red PH2 172 (Sold for a profit and was put into a wall 1 week later) 1x Iceberg PH1 172 (tbc) Despite the issues, I still want another one... I need therapy.

Or more affectionately known as the over Rev light that was fitted to the W and X ref PH1's. What part of the car produces this feature ? I thought perhaps the ECU but I moved my ECU from my old W reg (which had the light) to my current Y reg PH1 and the light does not work (Could be there's no...

This isn't a repair as such - it's simply removing the circuit for settings 1/2/3 (Which require resistance to function at such speeds, thus need a thermal fuse as it get's hot) Setting 4 functions as it would on any other car (Unrestricted). It's also possible to get these results by simply...

Depending on the model you get slightly different results, on the cup style one with no AC I've found it will burn out causing a nasty smell and kill the fuse. Replacing the fuse will simply cause it to blow again.

If anybody else is having this problem and really needs the fans for over the winter - just remove the resistor pack from the cup blowers and snap off resistor section (the big green bit that sits elevated away from the plastic) so you essentially have a positive and a negative only. This means...

I've blown 3 resistor packs in 2 months and it's getting really old having to pull the unit out. Does anybody know of an aftermarket resistor pack that fits the mk2 cup blower motor and is reliable ? Cheers Paul

Holy thread resurrection ! It's common for the manifold to hit the ARB when the dog mount is worn. A few of the 182 manifolds where bashed in to stop knock.

There's also a common issue of the seat won't slide when using the handle to let passengers into the rear, it'll allow the back of the seat forward but won't slide towards the dash. There's a small round pin that's fallen out and is probably loose under the chair, just needs popping back in.
