Was a really good day despite the cold weather and the occasional stops. My last run got me my quickest run 15.1 that was satisfying enough as i just pipped Zorba in the RS Focus lol. But them bloody cups KEEP getting mid 14s!!

ive had 150mph out of my car and it was,nt shaking?????!!!!!!

Ive kind of ignored any request to keep my car standard. After a few dreadful body mods ive put it back to standard but induction kit, decat exhaust and ecu chip, plus now near standard 15s Cars been in three times in a year for engine mounts which have been done under warrenty with no questions...

what a waste of money! people see you on the road and that you cant match the v6 power you will get laughed at!!

Speak to BB Tuning about this. They sorted me a Reflashed ECU which improves allround performance. Ive noticed better torque and increased throttle response. www.bbperformancetuning.co.uk or call 01787 221856 and speak to Andy

Saw you last nite buddy, heading home about 7- 7.30 Car sounds really good now ;)

The thing to remember here is that if you are expecting another 10bhp from a chip then this simply wont be the case. What the ecu chip aims to do is improve drivability and torque. I reckon ive probably seen maybe a 4-5bhp increase from my chip but overall was it worth the...

think u just unscrew it and take it out still connected to the bracket

My light comes on around 7.8k since changing the ecu ;)

They do a nice carbon spliter for the frony which im after, which can be used on the back as well but just needs cutting around the exhaust. For the rear i meant a spoiler likie that- its not too o.t.t in my opinion and blends in well. I picked that picture as it was the only one i could...

Hayward & Scott charge about £60 iirc. Im thinking of gettin mine done soon

Its ok- certainly like the colour. theres a few options for the rear this is one idea- http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y16/jph172/P3250009.jpg Dont worry about the negative feedback, you get use to it after a while. I certainly have ;)

2 things 1, DONT put a sport badge on anything lower than a 2-litre because your never live it down 2, Why buy a 5 door if you was goin to modify it??? (no offence mole ;))

Same as my old one- there is a couple of red plastic clips holding it in- you just need to tug at it! They may break off but once its screwed in it doent go nowhere ;) Also the brake light switch just needs unclipping and the screen wash tube, just yank at it and it,ll come off.

This has got to be a p*ss take. Its so funny how he reckons girls drowl over his car. I cant see the word stunners being used anywhere? I bet he picks up all the girls once they,ve left school. school finishes at 3.30 ;)

Id say engine mounts?! Mine have been done twice now in the space of a year and they need doing again. Its a knocking noise but its only like 2/3 times when you boot it then it stops.

The bb tuning ecu which i am running locks itself to your car and im really impressed with it. They also do one for the 182 as well. http://www.bbperformancetuning.co.uk/Products/Default.asp?type=dept&DepartmentID=7968see here [Edited by jph172 on 8/29/2005 7:15:55 PM]

Whereabouts are you CUPPER?

Dont know if you read the thread regarding the R sport ECU clarkie bought but in my opinion there are far better companies out there. I went for the BB Tuning ecu but there are one or two others available through here as well. PM if you want more details

I cant understand that, fair enough but its the difference between doing things that will look ok to some then doing things which are just completely WRONG!. how much he has spend on it id be very interesting to know as it looks to me as though its just add-ons (straight off the shelf ready to...

What engine is in it, just in your efforts of defending your mates shocking car you might somehow be able to claim him back some credibilty. ;)

I know i havent really got much to say but 1, Its a terrible colour 2, Its a five door 3, ARHHH Horrible bump strips What about the women then? If he pulls girls driving about in that then they must ride in the play bus :p

strouth!! must be quick with 15s ;)

My xenons light up the street like a becon. lol Im always getting people flashing me but i had renault look at them as i thought they were too high but they said one side was 1mm out!

mint ;)

I had to drill out the fixings for my standard plates, but as mike said sticking the new plates on is definately the way to go cos it looks so much better.
