    'RDR' Night Out! Sat 21st Feb 2015.

    I'm not coming now. Nor will I be bothering with anything RDR based.

    best budget dashcam?

    Yup, absolutely. Just need to run a USB to Mini USB cable long enough to reach the camera, or use a USB extension cable to make the standard cable longer.

    best budget dashcam?

    Mobius. There's a thread somewhere.

    Screeching sound

    ^That. Same with mine. There's a few reasons it could be slipping but invariably it's with the PAS system.

    Cheap Coilovers

    Stop blinding everyone with your terribly fitted HIDs.

    The confusing world of xenon/projector retrofits

    Interesting. I did think that the Ph1 lens is quite poor quality so an aftermarket bixenon setup would be killing two birds with one stone. What bulb does that use, and I presume it moves the shutter back so what signal does that use? 12 volt? I'm not in a position to get you to make a set...

    does rs tuner come with map or is it extra?

    You get the 98 ron map when you buy a new RSTuner from the fastchip website, although I believe it is tied to the VIN of a car these days so you may have to buy it again to use it on your mrs' car. I think it locks onto one car at a time, so if you go from your car to your mrs that's an unlock...

    MK3 LED conversion

    Try it! I'd have a look at a haynes manual for a mk3 clio on how to remove the dials, and then open them up and look for the right LEDs.

    what map? (please help, confused)

    No need to write a new ECU, just do as you said, backup ECU and Cal, then write new cal.

    what map? (please help, confused)

    It will say Fastchip, like mine did on the last page.
  11. McGherkin

    what map? (please help, confused)

    In case you want to do it again, for example do a standard backup and an RSTuner'ed backup.

    what map? (please help, confused)

    089 is Ph1 172 129 is Ph2 172 Cup 130 is Ph2 172/182 'normal' IIRC.
  13. McGherkin

    what map? (please help, confused)

    Not necessarily, cups are different ratios to normal 172s and Ph1s are different again.

    what map? (please help, confused)

    It's really not hard, do it yourself!
  15. McGherkin

    what map? (please help, confused)

    Same as mine pretty much then. Either they're both mapped or neither is and I've been driving around in a needlessly slower car, but I'm afraid the answer probably is that it's mapped.

    what map? (please help, confused)

    What does your car idle at by the way @LeeRS ?

    what map? (please help, confused)

    100% read ECU first - backs up the whole ECU. When I tried mine for the first time it bricked the ECU back to 0000 0000. I'd saved my ECU though so it wasn't a problem, but it would have been if I hadn't!
  18. McGherkin

    what map? (please help, confused)

    I think it's standard. But don't quote me on that. @The Fatty has that in his programming history too, but I believe he's been fiddling with his using a mapping tool at some point.

    Hardwearing, economic tyres?

    http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Michelin+Pilot+Sport+3+195%2F50%2F15 Personally I'd want to make sure that my car is as safe as possible but hey ho.

    Whos been racing a3's then? ;)

    Neither of my plates are on there. I need to drive more dangerously.

    Hardwearing, economic tyres?

    Are you saying you can't get PS3s in 195/50/15s? Don't bother spouting 185/55/15 either - many, many people have and do run 195s on the dynamique alloys.
  22. McGherkin

    Hardwearing, economic tyres?

    Good tyres on the 1.2 were the difference between me trying to keep up with 172s, and 172s trying to keep up with me. a certain degree of lunacy was required with that though. You clearly have the budget for it, so I'd be running PS3s all day long.

    what map? (please help, confused)

    Click disconnect, then turn the ignition off, yes.

    How far would you drive to Test Drive a Renaultsport?

    Is it too much to ask for me to book a test drive say a week in advance, and the demo car be delivered to my local dealer? I wouldn't even mind paying the fuel for that.
  25. McGherkin

    How far would you drive to Test Drive a Renaultsport?

    I live next to a pretty big main dealer so I'd hope they had RS models!

    what map? (please help, confused)

    Sounds like you've backed up your standard map then accidentally uploaded that rather than the 98 ron one then. The fastchip entry on the ECU history is related to the software used to load that cal, rather than the cal itself. Theoretically you could create a custom map in RSTuner and it would...
  27. McGherkin

    what map? (please help, confused)

    Is it listed twice, or anything listed above the fastchip entry? You've got the standard map, so it could be an unsuccessful write, or it could be that whoever programmed the car took the map off for some reason.
