i travel about 60 miles per day, i can afford to run my 172 every day if i want BUT i choose not to due to wanting to keep miles down on it, it has a loud exhaust and it gets 34mpg on my daily drive. ive got the dci100 for every day, on my drive it gets 62mpg, it costs £35 a year to tax and...

you mean there are slow ones and slower ones lol

i drove my mums 1.2 16v twingo the other day, cant beleive i actually owned a car with that engine lol i LOLed hard the full way to work

dci is quicker and gets better mpg lol, small engine petrols are pointless. my mrs has a 1.6 16v, its ok, but gets same mpg as a 172 so...

i am ticked up to the eyeballs lol i had about £600 of outgoings every month a few months ago, got it down to less than half that now, all because i wanted fast cars and fancy parts, im now learning that if you want something you save up and buy it!!

i was going to go up and lay the smackdown but couldnt be arsed getting up when it came to it lol. ben, delsol looking good!

im bored of my front wheel drive car think ill spend £14k for another with 20bhp more...

dodgey c**t ;) lol emm as far as im aware you cant do it on the newer DCi engines, needs to be the old diesels with a certain make of fuel pump i can get staff discount on somerfields cheapest cooking oil too lol

anyone used the Bilstein OE dampers, looking to get a set for the DCi as its needing fronts anyway, are they worth paying the money over OE ones from a motor factors? keeping in mind i do quite a bit of miles in the dci and alot of that is over country roads etc so like something thats going to...

if it was me id be going N/A, if you want something turbo charged buy something turbo charged thats my way of looking at it, my mate bought a 200sx with a load of work for probably less than a turbo conversion on a clio and its running over 300bhp. however thats not your question, like i said...

yes timing belt is a cambelt

and so it begins again.... lol

it appears to have a very fast gearbox...

like the look of that and love the 2nd exhaust hanger, im making something similar for my k-tec at the moment

biggest common problem on they engines is the coilpack, causes all sorts of problems lol

72k iirc, aux belt doesnt need done untill you do the cambelt, even at that you dont really need to do it, if it snaps ur alternator will stop running untill u replace it or fit an elastic band lol

also keep in mind the "aux" belt on the 1.2 16v is just a wee tiny thing that goes to the alternator (never done one with AC right enough if that applys to you) they have no tensioner etc so cost about 40p to replace lol

why not just leave it all in and just pull the hose out the side of the airbox, saves f**king about with it for a bit of extra noise....

1.2 16v? yes, belts i cant remember from the top of my head but cant see them being any more than £40 for the kit non genuine, and a genuine pump last time i checked was around £60 be cheaper going non genuine however ive never used a non genuine pump so dunno if they are worth it or not...

do the conversion, i was going to, shat out, regret it to this day even tho i ended up with a minter. any questions on the conversion give me a shout on msn

group buy from falkland.... ;)

a 182 manifold will fit ALL MODELS so id assume all gaskets fit no problem as the blocks are all the same as far as im aware

you MUST replace the waterpump on the 1.2 16v engine when the belts get done, they WILL be already or about to start leaking, and will 100% NOT make it till the next cambelt is due so id get it done for the sake of an extra £50 or so belt and waterpump at an independant garage, i wouldnt be...

surely he will be losing torque if he has a straight pipe running from the TB to the box behind the bumper as thats a rather long inlet tract

dont get me wrong my mrs 1.6 16v dynamique MK2 is awesome to drive, it feels so much better to drive around town than a 172 which is lumpy, and you dont get the lag around town that you get on the dci100. side by side there is nothing in it between the dci100 and the 1.6 16v, the 1.6 gets a...

my dci is going in for an RS Tuning remap, 130bhp & 190lb/ft, more if i can get an uprated clutch. that will make it a VERY capable car considering £35 a year roadtax, £300 a year insurance fully comp and 55mpg!

if its a 1.4 16v your using id look to use the bottom end from a 1.6 16v for the extra torque (im assuming the top end is the same although you would need to double check that) have some headwork done while you have it in bits, wilder cams, nice exhaust manifold and filter setup should see...

im fitting standard ones tomorrow untill i get something else

pics of pigeon. i hit a grouse at 120 in the dci, thought it was coming thru the windscreen!!!
