An old Romanian member stuck a 1.6 K4M in a Dacia Logan.

Dacia do actually use the F4R in a few models, but it's a watered down 140bhp version.

The only reason I put 40 psi in them was because I got pissed off going 32-33-34-35 and thought f*ck it, lets just go to 40 then reduce it until they feel right, and bizarrely they felt right at 40 which I did not expect.
Mine folded like liquorice until I put 40, yes 40psi in all round, now they handle really well in all weather, which is wrong because 40psi should be way too much, 35psi still had them folding so I thought f*ck it, 40 it is.
Been wanting to watch this all day, but i'm saving it for later when the good TV's ran out, I love the ones where they take a junkyard car and make it run again.
Most only have induction and exhaust mine included, some only have a decent exhaust, remaps are definitely worth it on these cars, if I was you i'd pay for a decent garage/mapper to do it.
Yep, once they're used they're locked to that cars ecu and won't work on another, even if you bought a licence the unit would be locked to your car and be useless to the owner, so you'd have to buy another licence so he could use it on his car again, by the time you've done that and bought the...
I had to use a bearing press and even then it took a few goes, it's made everything in my car vibrate like f*ck because it has zero give, but at least my exhaust isn't dragging on the floor anymore.
Tell him to walk away, losing £100 deposit is better than losing the best part of a grand trying to make the car right, tell him to pay £12 CS membership and take his pick of all the far better cars in the for sale section, he won't regret it.
It's worth paying £12 to become a member, pretty much every car in the for sale section is cheaper than the one you posted, with belts done and comprehensive history.
£2.5k for a 182 that needs brakes all round and has never had a belt change?
Whoever buys that needs their head examined, much better cars to had for that price in the for sale section, plus you can research the history by looking at the members posts.
It's cool and everything and i'm looking forward to seeing your progress, but I think this statement needs explaining a bit more, was he injured, how big was the cliff, how did he manage to drive off it?
One for the lottery garage, whoever built that was not f*cking about, imagine how much fun it would be on a track day.

This is a very quick...
Pretty much, every time I clean the crap out of my throttle body i'm aware of how much dirt mine lets through, whether it lets big enough bits through to actually score the cylinders is another story.
I haven't actually read the article as i'm too lazy.
A poor man's RS6 sounds good to me, i've only looked at them as an alternative to Impreza Wagons as they're a lot cheaper for a good one and they come with a lot more power as standard, what mpg did they get, low 30's?
I've always thought it would make a good dog carrier and general work horse, what was is like to live with in terms of mpg, maintenance etc, are they quick?
