mk3 dci's are AWESOME!!!! my GT DCi 106 was the best car ive owned, the mk3s are worse on fuel as said above, they arnt much different when on a long run and the weight is moving, its more around town as your constantly accelerating and braking and hauling the weight about, however as much as...
keep in mind guys while they are still no replacement for the offerings from ATI and Nvidia, Intels latest graphics solutions are MUCH better than they were back in the Intel Extreme days! they will quite happily stream 1080p video online, so really unless gaming they are fine!
probably the most expensive one you will come across is the wiring harness on the back of the engine rubbing on the engine and cutting through the wiring loom.
the much cheaper and more common ones are faulty coil packs causing missfiring, dodgey throttle bodys causing rough running, faulty TDC...
not sure on the current generation of HP but the last ones were a nightmare! ive changed no joke 6 power jacks on them, and i dont work in IT just do jobs here and there for people so thats about 50% of the jobs i do a year! lol
im a big Lenovo fan, well more so the older IBM stuff but since...
yeah elia/k-tec one fits this tailgate but not 100% sure on it! dont like the cup one as it makes the car look like a shopping trolley lol! i think it only suits white cups as they look like racers!
thinking black speelines but not sure if i would need a black roof to to pull it off?
ive...
1.6 16v clios are good but no warm hatch, hot hatch fuel consumption though. my mrs still has one, i had a standard dci100 at the time and it was pretty much on par performance wise, but doing 60mpg compaired to 34mpg, once remapped mine destroyed it while doing the same 60mpg!
ive found it is much more flexable low down than both my 172's were, 25mph in 6th put ur boot down and it pulls fine! And my silver one was running 160odd lbft! Feels a little dead mid range compaired to both my 72's but pulls just as hard top end, probably on par with my old 190hp one.
spoiler isnt bonded on, they had to take mine off to replace my high level brake light too but it just bolts on, shame they never put it back on properly and it had to go back in lol
fuel economy isnt bothering me to be honest, its nice to have something with a nice exhaust note and turns so many heads!
i dont do many miles these days anyway, no need for a derv as nice as it was to live with day to day!
they are identical same stupid place for the handle but they are black leather rather than wrapped in tights
cheers
gt spoiler fits without a boot lid, confirmed by renaultsport.
these drive nothing like a 172/182, low down grunt is no issue on them, it feels about as pokey around town as...
only got a few plans for it, a GT spoiler, possibly black speedlines or something aftermarket, set of GT door cards as this has some poverty spec material ones to match the poverty rear bench!
so far loving it, its bloddy thirsty! but goes well, impressive ammount of low down grunt compaired to...
the RS service schedule is lower than the non RS one to take the higher state of tune/harder driven engine into account. 12k/2yrs is fine. anyone who fancies wasting their money doing 500 mile oil changes then fire on!, my oil is usually still the colour it went in after 12k!
every owners club i searched for the issues it was having was riddled with cars doing the same and most garages diagnosed it without even plugging it in they were that common! we still own it its an imaculate heap.
if its mainly town driving buy an 86, if its a bit of mixed motorway and town driving get the 106.
86 is much better around town with very little turbo lag, infact you wouldnt know it had a turbo, it just pulls smoothly and strongly from the minute you put your foot down, 106 has loads of lag...
lupos are gash, my sisters 1.4 16v 100hp has cost about 2 grand in the last 2 years. its an 53 plate one lady owner before us, 30k full VWSH, id never ever ever own one, i got it for her because i wanted something reliable for her, what a joke that turned into.
remapped dci 100
