Madness. Typical yanks. It's be more fun with 450..

What clutch and flywheel you running mate? To be honest we'll see. It may end up staying longer than my original plan at this rate. I bought it on a whim and glad i did. Being the first "proper" diesel i've owned unlike my landy's etc i'm shocked how well it goes vs not really using fuel.

True that. I dont really car what the numbers say..it's how it drives. f**k it. Full steam ahead.

Its booked for a custom map mate. He swears he can get about 205bhp out of them and maps them on his rollers. A few mates have used him and i had some work on my Bora there. He's a decent chap too. He was saying the clutch and dmf are the weak point so can map it whatever i want really...

Remap booked for the weekend after next. I'm a little worried about the flywheel going "boom" though. Whats a sensible power to have it mapped too? 180? I guess its the torque that kills them.. I havent done many miles but since i filled it i've done 320 miles and its half way between 3/4 and...

Wow that's lovely. Nicest 1*2 i've seen almost. If only it was forsale two weeks ago.. might put the Leon up for sale..haha

Lol

40k lol

Haha dont go bringing the CTR Vs 1*2 debate. To be fair i loved my 182 and hated my CTR and sold it in a week.. All i'm saying is i already had in my head that a VXR is a s**t drive. When i drove my mates for a day to day drive i thought it was fine.

Exactly. I'd love to know how people on here drive on the open road. Anyone would think theyre dangerous. For the average Joe they are absolutely fine and wouldnt notice theyre "poor handling" tbh. I know there's people on here who can drive but tbh they wouldnt look twice at one which i can...

Why is it a s**t engine? Handling's not the best but certainly no worse than a Ibiza..;) My mate's had his for years. Drives like a c**t and it's taken all the abuse he can throw at it. Yeah they're not the best, most focused car and they look like a 1990's max power project but theyre not as...

Looks lovely that. What do you want for it when you sell it? ;)

Great work. Vile 6 though but nothing that cant be sorted in 30 mins of part replacement..haha

A MPS would be the better choice. I'd happily own one.

Sorry but the depo's and grills make it look like the stereotypical chavy M3. Even losing the plate looks bad imo. Yeah it'd work if it had "stance" and wanted to be cool. (but then i'm driving a Leon currently so my opinion is invalid)

Bit like MX5's my way yet CS still bums them...

Not a car that i would own but to be honest after driving my mates nurburgring edition which is standard other than a map i was quite shocked. A fun car for the average joe and quick too. Yeah if you take a megane on track and you drive like a pro it'll be quicker but thats not what most people...

Very nice. I was following a guy in one a while back with an exhaust and it sounded like thunder. I think his was a custom job though as it was loud..very infact. Going up whiteladies road in Bristol. Fuel costs seem comparable to a BMW 330 then.. The wheels let it down a little too imo. If...

Love it. My mates just reshelling his after a little rolling accident. Mightly fast/good track cars once prepped.

No but i've sold them to the lad who bought it and bumped into him in the petrol station last night. No warning lights and they look awesome.. Get some bought - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270841286083?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D270841286083%26_rdc%3D1 As...

Its more so a problem with the golfs as they were on the long life service schedule. This has been done every 10k or less with PD oil. Apparently it only takes one oil change with the incorrect spec and your asking for trouble. I'm not sure if mine has been done but wouldnt be supprised if it...

Haha fair do's mate. Yeah that's what i said..;) The same as my Bora.

Woah! Blimey. Any specs etc of yours on the net? Do the 312mm front brakes go straight on these with the discs and carriers?

Is your's mapped?

I'm really not sure what it'll do to a tank. I'm going to brim it tonight and see what she does.

Mini looks great. That MX5 looks awesome too..

No only the 8L shape. Anything newer was on 160k+ and poverty spec. This has everything. Climate, sunroof, electric folding mirrors etc. Of course more power being the 150. Yeah £400 a month on fuel was pissing me off. Even to the point i didnt want to take it on road trips to see my mates etc...

Thats because it is. I agree. A map isnt much though. About 2 weeks worth of fuel savings from this. Other than setting an alarm i have find some way of staying awake. Yeah it is really. I bought it on condition and fact it'll be easy to sell for what i paid/condition. Also the fact when...

Yeah in gear even as standard they're quite nippy. Yeah i am tempted and theyre cheap. The first part is what worries me. I dont normally do sensible. Or thinking with my head when it comes to cars.

Thanks for the info mate but to be honest it wont happen. A map would and panel filter would be the most this would see. Knowing the MK4 platform well i know poly bushes make a massive improvement as does a rarb to to be honest i'd rather save the money towards a car i'd enjoy like a S2000. As...
