Very nice m8....and I think the black grill looks sooo much better than the chrome...always looked a bit tacky with that but looks so mean with the black :)
Chris
Mine got replaced (just the wheel so the airbag bit was still peeled a little.) on warranty but I had a good relationship with the branch so maybe a rare case
Chris
I think it was just for the vids m8...but his engine has done nearly 100k and is still going strong... Prolonged high revs would be trouble but the occasional high should be ok
Chris
Yeah Nics Std 182 has a really good kick at 5k. Mine makes the same torque at 2400rpm as nics makes at peak so you get it low down and again at 5 but not as harsh. As Mark said the remap smooths the power delivery out a lot. And would the loss of the std airbox make a difference with not having...
Good show m8. I'll have to do a similar thing next time mine is out. I can definately feel a good pull...4th gear is great and 5th around 85-90 goes again...loving the limiter too lol
Chris
It is funny how your perceptions of fast change. I had a little 1.2 8v with a few bits and it was really nippy....until I was behind a std VTR and it pasted me lol. I wouldn't even have to try now (not exactly std but you get the idea)
Chris
Thats what I did in the end Chris. Black wheels are great but with the car now being white I'm going to have to keep an eye on the side of the car now :(
Chris
All I know is the rear bench and bits from the boot (carpet/tools etc) weighs about 25kgs but as Tom said, how is the original weight measured...1 person in the car and a full tank or the opposite?
Chris
This truly was a work of art. To look at you would think it was a Black 1.2/1.4. Looked completely standard but it clearly had a V6 badge on the boot....unless :eek: maybe they had just stuck one on but that would be ridiculous! ;)
Chris
Sounds like what my m8 did to his valver years ago....nothing below 5 k then loads above...might have a good peak power but wouldn't be a good 'drive' I would imagine
Chris
I knew someone who rang sky and said they wanted to cancel. When asked why they just said their husband was possibly being made redundant. She got 3 months half price. I did the same and got it as well. My other m8 at work did it and it got cancelled lol
