being 18 is a tw*t isnt it mate.

my girlfriends mums got a clio dci 80 dynamique that she borrows. We went to the trafford centre in manchester yesterday which is basically dual carriageway and motorway, so i reset the trip computer to see what mpg it would do. Going 70ish down the motorway for 20miles including parking up etc...

I've test drove one, it was a very nice, drove well, although it wasnt quite sporty enough for me, think i'll be going for a mk7 fiesta zetec s instead

At least the modorator is a member of the club rather than a forum user

looks good, how fast was it?

Thats cheap who with? and i resent your worthy on here commentbut i do no what you mean, i havnt bothered with any meets in my standard 1.2 16v but i'm not going to waste time modding it, not enough pottential.

I'm getting 40.1MPG out of my 1.2 16V at the minute, over the last 330miles since last friday, that includes a 240mile return motorway trip at 80 on the motorway, 50 Miles of B-road blasting (6K rpm stuff) and 40 miles of my regular commuting, not too bad overall. My normal heavy traffic...

yeh a mk2 ph 1 1.9Dti, remap to 112 hp and 235 nm which would aid fuel consumption and also help on the motorway.

RS Tuning are highly thought of over on the tdci forum, have a look over there

The new gen 2 mini's are very efficient. Even the cooper s gets decent mpg. Cooper D is one of the most efficient cars in the country a remap would see 140bhp too

whats up with the gearing mate? I found it ok in the clio but i'm used to 1.2 gearing, it felt exactly like my 1.2 16v off boost but as soon as you hit 2-3k you can feel the extra torque

Well if your happy, i just hope you don't regret it, which engine have you gone for?

how is the twingo? test drove a clio TCE and enjoyed it

Went to my girlfriends dads wedding in worchester about 20 miles outside of birmingham, the pics don't realy do the area justice it was very hilly and had brilliant roads. Coming from a pretty urban area i don't drive it twisties often and I was loving it. My opinion on driving has changed over...

its fixed, its abit knackered but i've put it on properly this time, the body shop who repaired my car hadnt mounted it properly :@

lads come on i'm desperate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bump, come on lads i'm desperate here

The radiator protector thingy on my car has falled down due to a huge puddle accross a road near my house about 1.4ft deep :mad: I'm due to go to a wedding on friday night and need help on how to repair it quickly. Here is what is it, i hope jams doesnt mind me posting this pic as i cant get...

bell's excess is too high for my liking, will probly go with them next year though. directline best i can find for this year, well september £1480 which im pretty happy with. If only they would insure mods :@

Post a clip of the TCE with dump valve please!!!

maybe his engine has blown and he needs a replacement and can get hold of a 182 engine.

What about a dci 80? very very economical, £35 tax, feel a lot quicker than a 1.2 16v and also the option of a remap to 110bhp, if i was to get another non rs mk2 clio this would probly be the one i go for.

Re: ** PH2 RESTORE >> ROAD GOING GO-KART ** Good project mate, looks great atm, not to sure on the sparco's though, i would sell them on and get recaro's.

gutted for you mate, it happened to me aswell and i binned it into a wall, you will get over it in time matey, insurnace job?

The Vee is a car to be proud of it is mint. Nice to see a girl so into cars, I did laugh in anticipation of the comments about the headlight pic tho haha

yeh i thought it might be that, also i noticed i put this in the wrong section ment to put it in suspesion,brakes... Doh

Is there any advantage to rear disk brakes, people on here tend to say they give no extra braking power etc so why do they go on faster cars?

Re: cup weight saveing good point, i supose they had to have a cutoff point to keep it as a car that can be used as a dialy driver rather than an all out track car

Try paying £1500ish for a 1.2 16v with little other choice as is the cheapest quote i can find at 18 and i need it for my job. Thats not a good idea!

also the 80 gets the best mpg not the 65, 65 was just the cheapest model to make hence why it went in the lower models. car makers have to have better engines in higher specs to tempt you into the higher spec otherwise if you could get the 1*2 engine and setup in authentique shel for 7500 then...
