looks awesome mate, rear dampers leaking are a common fault, totally ruin the handling they are all over the road when they go. only £50 a side for genuine renault items from renault though if you dont want to go the aftermarket route!
nice to see a standard one, exhausts are bad for falling...
where about in central scotland are you from matey?
dont need a sport to be on here, i joined here when i was 17, i had a 1.2 16v Dynamique also in black!!
since had a mental 172, and 2 diesel dynamiques!
lol at the vectra comment, i remember nailing the 172 down a motorway sliproad one day giving it 7200rpm changes every gear and even at the top end of 5th still having a f**kin zafira cdti right up my arse!!! it was piling out black smoke everywhere must have had a mental map on it
lol the beast!! had done about 140k when i sold it lol i still see it boosting about, its even higher than a standard clio now :S dunno what suspension its running lol
just no long up buddy got called into work first thing this morning been at work all day then fell asleep after lol ill get they C spanners to you on friday if thats ok?
i couldnt be bothered to read the full thread due to knowing what sort of answeres you were going to get for asking a question about a slow model.... typical CS
anyway, remaping will give you the biggest gain on any mod you can do for less than 1k on that engine.
if your interested in...
looking at prices i could sell mine for more than i paid for it 6 months ago and 10k miles later!!
they hold their money but awesome MPG, £35 a year road tax, cheap to insure, good fun to drive, you cant really get much better
they do lack the off boost torque of the VAG 1.9 diesels etc but...
this is a pass time i have recently found, its fun lol 2nd gear comes on boost and boom black smoke everywhere lol
as for MPG my mrs is averaging 35mpg from her 1.6 16v (surely thats broken lol she drives like an angel)
i give mine hard hard running late every day flat out driving to airdrie...
ive never driven an 80 but as you know ive got a 100 and my mrs has a 1.6 16v dynamique
ragging about flat out redlining everywhere the 1.6 16v is faster (just) untill about 70/80mph
the dci100 has so much overtaking torque for such a small car, diesels are never quick at accelerating but...
gutted, horrible feeling in my stomach!!!
however the new owner is on here ill let him announce his new purchase first lol
i didnt get much use out it the last few months with working so far away so looking forward to seeing it getting the use it deserves!
roll on the R32 GTR :)
it takes ages for the diesel to get from the tank down thru the lines and injection system into the engine so i doubt you would have noticed a difference almost straight away...
