I think that's what I used. pCars is very sensitive for FFB settings, and it makes a big difference to the feel.

Nice work! Good to see you're staying away from the full on coilover option too, leave that for the dedicated track cars :up:

Better to have difficulty at the MOT than going to brake in an emergency, locking the rear wheels, and pirouetting into whatever it was you were trying to avoid.

Volvos are tow cars of the gods.

OEM. My 172 had a list of suspension mods which was as long as your arm. My 1.2, over Dartmoor, was far quicker and more confident. I actually had people ask me when I'd done the F4R conversion, because they couldn't believe that it would outhandle a 172 in dem twisties. Usually someone who'd...

Sadly it's just the nature of the stuff, it breaks down over time. It's cheap as chips to replace though. I've got it under my gearstick surround.

Top work so far, good stuff! Presumably EL wire for the dash trim? I've got some in mine and it's great stuff, although it's dimmed over time :(

Autosolos aren't really srs business to be honest, it's more about enjoying yourself and having a bit of friendly competition. If you're already getting your fix with trackdays then hey ho!

The front seats etc are back in, that's something. That dash though :disrelieved:

Lol, that's not the person I sold it to! Must be up to 13-14 now, 5 of them being superfatdan. That's not the person who changed the engine either...

Think that's the wrong link? I didn't know the police were behind him for 35 miles, but I'm amazed that he got 12 months for it.

Top work. Decided what you're going to do with it racing wise?

Have you ever met Jason Plato?

Don't know why I never replied to this. In that case, it's probably a detuned D4. Which means that a remap will take you to what a D4 maps to i.e. 200+bhp.

This thread is useless without videos

There's a video in the videos thread from people leaving this, who was trying their launch control out on their 200t?

2x cylinders = 2x coolness.

That looks, erm... Painful.

I used to suffer from skittles. Every time I drove my car, something broke. Frequently I'd try to go to work and just find a big pile of skittles outside the house. Sometimes a light would come on, so I'd try and diagnose it.. but it would have already gone off. Gearboxes, holes in exhausts...

Well yeah. Ferrari did the same with a Fiat 500.

They only exist to offset carbon emissions from the actual Astons. They can't say that though so IIRC they claimed that you could carry one on your yacht where it would take up less room, in case you wanted to make a run ashore and you didn't have someone drive your proper aston out to meet you.

I can't remember how much it dropped by, remind me? It's just occurred to me, colder weather=worse MPG, lol

ELM 327, and yeah, Torque is still king!

Ok, so from the top the idle at 750-800rpm (and a bit rough!) is consistent with a factory mapped car. Most maps up the idle to 900ish rpm because of the roughness. The incomplete parts are nothing to worry about, it's to do with performing an OBD emissions test and needs the engine hot etc...

I bought an RSTuner for mine. Plugged it in, and it had already been done. 3 times.

It was in the TG magazine's group test as well. Makes you wonder why they were bothering to put it out for people to group test with really, as it's not the sort of thing you'd do with a concept car. Must have got really far down the line before the bean counters killed it.

I wanted to say that but I didn't want to upset some people, lol. I was actually seriously considering an RS.16 too.
