I remember reading that there's a swedish institute that records real world accidents ( ie no of injuries/ deaths) for individual cars, and that NCAP doesn't always help because a lot of fatalities involve side impacts which is only tested quite lightly by NCAP.
Had a look at that, don't fancy wiring all that up! Think the basic version just needs power and earth, then feeds for revs/speed, but don't know how easy that is
If it had a small turbo to boost the mid-range I'd be there. It's not too bad when you use every spare rev, but it's when you pull out to overtake that it feels gutless. Be interesting to see if the engines loosen up like the 172/182's.
Had a decat on my 182, if you're not worried by the legal issues, go for it. Felt a noticeable difference in mid range and throttle response, but not sure if that would be the same on a smaller engine.
Had my blueflame adjusted sooooo many times, still goes out of shape!! Took it back to blueflame, who fitted the system, they said it doesn't fit the cat properly and they don't keep the fittings:dead:
If you download a program called copypod, you can move files off your ipod onto any library. Got it myself, saves clogging my hard drive up with all my music. So you could fill the ipod for her, stick a copy of copypod on cd, then she can download it to her pc.
Looks nearly identical to mine bud, but my wheel was only kerbed, so no mech damage. Took em a week to fix. My arch was putting pressure on tyre, but not enough to damage. DO NOT LET THEM TAKE IT TO THEIR REC REPAIRER:nono: , PM me for details, I'm with Elephant (part of Admiral).
Crashed it last weekend. Got new front wing, bonnet, front bumper, splitter (£35 from Renault!), refurbed wheel, new headlight and lots of other little bits. Looks like new.
If only more people accepted that they could improve their observation, planning, and driving skills and took some kind of advanced training, there would be far less accidents on the road than the current solution of making sure everyone has ABS/ESP. That's fact.
True, but it's also a fact...
