Ok mate, let me know before hand, somedays i stay late at work. I know a few good driving roads round here. Good for pictures too.

That would be telling.lol. I'm down south. Already been speaking to another guy on here with a 172 turbo, so would be cool to get all three different ones together for a photoshoot. Ukaskew is looking for decent cars for this, so may be worth asking him? Fubar it's a 182 with cup packs, nice...

but surely....the car doesnt realise that the injectors are putting more fuel in per squirt. so calculating no. of gallons used incorrectly. It said i had used just under 2 gallons from full tank, when the needle showed half a tank left.

I thinks its about 260/270 according to last rolling road. Want to get this confirmed though. Suspension is fine for now, and i had H+R coilovers on the 172, and can say that it isnt too bad. Nice and comfy. Plus i still have renault warranty left, and want to use it for new shocks when they...

new gear box, clutch etc.... hehe. Dont know what boost is at, dont know how to find out yet. The dealer gave me some cash to start the maintenance. Got £250 for tyres and brakes and £50 for petrol, in my hand!

Re: car i bought has s**te brakes Now i gotta make it all pretty like makavelli's. :)

It was done by bbperformance tuning. :) It's going to cost a fortune to keep on road. But petrol consumption is comparable to the 172 . It was saying 50mpg, but i think its reading wrong.lol. It was really sad to see my car for last time. Nearly cried.:o Will have vids asap, and pics, but...

too late! It's mine, all mine. mwuhahahahahaha :evil:

5th gear is extreme! 3rd is a killer. 1st and 2nd are gone in a flash. 4th is ok i suppose.:)

Just keep spinning. It comes out eventually.

f**k me! f**k ME!!! f**k ME!!!!! I'm still buzzing after a 300 mile trip.:D

Get a turbo and remove the seats! :) I'm still buzzing!

Re: car i bought has s**te brakes All will be revealed soon! Most people know anyway.lol. Got to get some pics when i have chance. Picking it up in an hour or so. :)

Re: car i bought has s**te brakes I have practiced....:rasp:

Re: car i bought has s**te brakes I could do the same with left foot braking for a few miles?

Re: car i bought has s**te brakes Cool. I hope so! Wasnt thinking with my big head when buying this.lol.

been looking around last night. Around £100 seems about right for one. :) Knowing my luck i'll blow it up within a week.

I did! Its hard getting it into gear without practicing.:)

dont you think 1st and 2nd gear are hard changes? You gotta be quick!

Re: car i bought has s**te brakes GRRRRR!!! I knew i would have problems with this car though. :) How much are they?

Re: car i bought has s**te brakes nice idea.lol. might do that when i get to my moms tomorrow, I really need the brakes. On my 172 that are so sharp!

I've driven more than that since last friday! I guess at 1700 by now! oh and know one has spotted me!!!!

All electrical stuff should have a fuse, to stop it going past peak current. This woul happen if you had a sirt circuit or other damage in the neons. Without the fuse, high current could be drawn uncontrolled and set fire to what ever it passes through, as it heats it up. So in short, yes you...

may as well. fuses arent a bad thing.

Another thing. If you want it for the fun factor, to feel the kick in your back. Dont bother chasing a few bhp. I regret spending my money doing that. You can be quicker than a cup in a 172 ff with a chip, but it's not satisfying.

A cams package, and ecu reflash for 2000 can get you close to 200bhp Throttle bodies for around 4000 can get you 210bhp Turbo for 6000+ can get you 250bhp+ Or vag engine, but would cost a hell of alot due to no one selling them. This would get you 400bhp. This is best option due to different...

Where can i get one? What is a good priced one? How do i fit? :) Cheers.

I got insured on a 182 with cup packs for around 830 i guess as i paid 580 for the 172 now its cost me 80 to change to 182 for rest of year.:)

sounds similar. Who did that conversion?

Re: car i bought has s**te brakes will update tomorrow, after 300 mile trip with left foot braking.:)
