what gear do you suggest I go for at 147mph in 6th?

gave the wheels a reburb today in "Halfords metallic silver" done the centre diamonds black just for something a bit different. fitted 172 colourcoded spoiler and bump strips, got door handles to do today.

gearboxes if driven by someone who doesn't know how to use a clutch.

Renault pipes are mega mega expensive, try the scrappers first

Id imagine around town they will average 50's, my twingo tce's would do high 40's low 50's if taken easy and this is a new more economical engine they are using but with a heavier car and auto box. Your best bet would be a backbox chop as you mentioned or a full custom cat back, nothing off...

Take cat off and batter the trolley jack handle up it, thats how i done it in 06

I like these, lad about here has a white one its deffo a petrol but gives off a lot of black smoke?

yep the castings are slightly better on the RS ones but still not as good as one that's been matched. obviously less gains from matching to be had on an RS stamped one because of this

that sounds like a boost leak to me!

well spotted.

yup standard trophy anthracite

gt does have the same gearbox so I suppose would give you an idea of how it works etc but I still couldn't even consider buying the RS if the GT was all I could get a shot in

not sure why they would feel the need to lie tbh, they are pushing it and pushing it till they see what fails and what the engine will withstand. im sure they could sell someone a 12k fully forged engine build for 400bhp but why not do your development first so you can offer the customer the...

Fiesta pulls really well, local tuner here has a 350bhp one on standard internals!! Mega mega quick but very laggy, defeats the purpose of the car, low down grunt drivability etc. Inlet temps look fine as you said! My twingo was hitting high 50s when the exterior temp was in the teens!

The test drive situation is a joke, i was the same, went to an rs dealer who had no rs cars even used for sale never mind a new demonstrator to show me.

yep all non RS used the same setup including GT 106/128hp versions. id imagine you could use a combination of parts to fit 280mm 182/twingo RS parts. however id save my money and stick Mintex M1144 pads on it with some brembo or similar discs, more than enough. my GT brakes were brilliant even...

Lol at the clio fire, ktec pops and bang map to the max!

Very nice needs 172 headlights tho! Lol at the t1r grip being emmence, wait till you try some real tyres ;) more than upto the job on a non rs tho!

Remember theirs also a gearbox to subframe engine mount on the passengers side, can access the bolt from under the car thru the hole on subframe

mine was just a toy with a small daily commute flat out most days and I never saw more than 23mpg

172 spoiler from ebay for a tenner, bagain...

Getrag gearbox so hopefully shouldn't destroy the box! and the lack of wheelspin Id imagine will make the shafts last longer!

have you removed the bracket at each side that goes from the subframe to the shell

Well spotted, cheers

mine used to fly round to 6000rpm, although I found it best to change about 5500, that was panel filter, injectors and rs tuning map, 130hp and 150lbft

have they done a software update on the gearbox as this looks very quick at changing...

Not sure? Were amazon selling factory renault wheels cheap

saw it on ebay what are they?

got potential those lights make me sad though, only aftermarket lights I semi like are the FK ones...
