They are very underestimated. I've had a couple of minor niggly problems with electrics which has taken months to sort out, mainly because of the dealers not doing their job properly and also seems to be a comon fault on most of them but otherwise it seems a very well built car... no rattles or...
I dont think weight is such an issue with diesels as they pull pretty much consistantly even with a load. Yours wont exactly be "slow" either though, could probably see off a few supposedly "quicker" cars.
Standard is in the region of 150bhp and most seem to be consistant woth this, but I...
Ally, RR'd at 196.9bhp and 305lbs/ft. Not quite 200bhp but they have been ran at 206bhp also. It gave the owner of an old skool Impreza WRX a bit of a shock the other night, actually left it for dead.
Dynamique spoiler, 16" multispokes, drop it a wee bit and jobs a good 'un. Plus the side repeaters and silvatec bulbs. Perhaps even an RS grill.
Looks good.
I've got an integrated graphics card on the mobo (I think), its a pretty poor computer to be honest. Not sure if I have the disc for monitor driver or the like. Need a new one anyway so thats an excuse to go get a new monitor :p
Thanks anyway.
This evening when I get in from work my Mum is moaning because the computer wont start. Got the screen saying "Start in safe-mode/normally/last good configuration" but in every option it would just restart and repeat.
Eventually I decided just to reformat the computer, pain in the jacksie...
I also ran at Star the weekend before too with a Vauxhall meet. I got 193bhp & 276lbs/ft as did two other Astras, one of them belonging to the owner of DTUK who makes my chip, he said the torque figures were very low and they expected much higher (around 290-310lbs/ft). Power at the wheels...
Derv FTW! :D
I was side by side with Martin going back down the road, I pulled away a fair whack but I dunno if he was going for it or not? I'd imagine having over twice his torque I'd pull away easily :p
Most of the 1*2s were putting out standard power apart from Eckocliosvalver (whatever his user name is) had some problems and only got 130ish bhp. And Johns flamer got 165bhp I think.
Doubt anyone will match my torque figure though lol.
^^ Just arrived to start uploading th rest of mine... I'll be here all night I think.
Yup chuffed to bits. I cant imagine remapping yours would take it much more than mine. You could be ok. Is this what you've heard on a Seat forum?
Phil, I wanted to get some snaps of yours but you left...
First 58 atleast ;)
Its taking too long to upload them and I have to go out now!
I'll upload the rest tomorrow when I can be bothered.
Mmmmm Trophy
F1 decals gave it an extra 25bhp.
Mmmm Mark's Cup
Teach you how to get some proper torque figures
And a link to the rest of my album...
