true story that! came off a roundabout at 30mph in 3rd and sank the boot as he pulled out to overtake me, he pulled back in as we were doing 90 odd mph in 5th gear! that look on his face at the services was brilliant just after he cracked the joke that his lightweight model was a good bit faster...

na just standard, just gave it a coat of silver hammerite! cant decide if im getting it matched or going down the JMS RS2 route

in what language?! lol

had mine out for the first time in 6 months the other day, going into the bodyshop soon for a full front end respray, forgot how fast it was after 6 months of rolling the DCi!

it may well be 1800rpm i cant remember but what ever rpm it is its not 5k lol its an on off system on the 172/182, the 197/200 has a progressive setup

funny enough its not so much a kick more the engine recovering from a flat spot! vvt activates just after 1000rpm or there abouts from memory

that genuinely is the same pace as my old 1.2 16v was!!, my first thing to check if it was mine would be cam timing, i guarantee its out!! not much else out there would cause quite that lack of performance.

Re: Just Crashed! excuse me?

any 1.5 dci would gain 30hp no problem from a map!

i must have had a magic clio lol

you running vtec dude what did you rev to to reach that?

its not the fact u drive a 1.2 its the fact you have w**k coloured wheels on your car

lol sure did was around 147mph on dials no idea what that was real speed, that was a ph2, ph1 is geared to long and has a raised limiter so wont do it unless i get more power lol

rather have spent the orange paint money on a set of wheeltrims!

u running pr1.1 firmware on it? mine has been spot on since buying it in December ive heard of a few people having issues if its on an operator with their custom firmware but im using a genuine nokia one. maby worth getting it unlocked and reflashed if thats the case

as above was sitting in the 40 limit roadworks and realised there was an N plate mk1 infront of me and thought ive not saw a mk1 in ages on the road! then when i was overtaking it realised it was a williams!

this will end in tears

172/182 no where near it, maby a 200?

typical cs though she knows she was too close or to fast or what ever the reason was that caused it, but you always get some muppet rubbing it in, as she said she was calling him a w**k because he was trying to claim he had been hit when he hadnt!

if thats 205lb/ft it will stay with an st, my old dci 100 @ 130bhp/190lbft used to stay with them no problem above 60

haw!

Correct. I hate diesel too hence why i drive a fast petrol, because lets face it, no one wants to drive a gutless slow underpowered petrol engine in a heavy car. i can cruise along on a big wave of torque nice and cumfy getting massive mpg, then when i want something fun to drive i take out...

GT's are fine as long as you have the right spec under the bonnet!

its the engine to go for! big meaty mid range on it, not quite as good as the mk2s on fuel, will average 50mpg driven quite hard, 6 speed box

id just stick an rstuner map and pipercross filter on it myself, no need for a rolling road run to show your car still doesnt have 170bhp lol

i done this a few years back too and it obviously wasnt as good but you get used to it, my mrs has a Cabasse setup in her 1.6 16v and its much better than the standard unit, id get one of them if your going standard

ph1 has bigger inlet valves and has a cable throttle body, id imagine you could use the fly by wire body on it but not sure if you would need the ph2 inlet manifold too, not sure if there is any other differences, but you can run them anyway i know a few doing it

that exhaust is a work of art i love it!

sounds possibly like what ever killed your first cat has killed the 2nd.

i filled mine up for £75 lastnight, that will last me nearly 800 miles though!
