Paul, your 16v stripped out?? what did you take out??? notice a difference??
___________________________________________________________
Bit of a difference I think. More noise at least. The back sits a tad bit higher I say so I...
Prob cos the cars been thrashed more cos of the chip and its not good for the engine hehe. To me it sounds like an engine mount or something. check to see if ur engine rocks about much. the white smoke sounds like condensation yeah. But shouldnt be doin it much when the weathers warmer.
They may be quick to about 80mph but then that about it. Plus a 16v can sit all day doin like 120mph, a 5 turbos head gasket will have gone after about like 2 minutes of that speed hehe. I mean they are only an old push rod engine at the end of the day. Not exactly made for high speeds. They...
Been On RSC and a lot of people have been slating Hill power chips saying they make the engine run lean and could damage it.
Has anyone heard of this as I fancy getting one but it worries me :(
I like the megane coupe 16s. My birds thinking about one of them. If she gets one and changes the alloys might have em of her hehe. They look like the phase 2 clio wheels but have different centres and bigger. 16s are better than 17s i must admit for performance and handling.
Well mine has just got a backbox and a filter, decat too. mine had 147bhp on the rollers. I dunno how much difference it makes but the decat seemed to make it pull a lot better.
Dunno mate, prob lookin at cars for the mrs again. not sure where I will be.
Dunno if i was driving the car wrong or what but just didnt seem as quick. Mind you I had mine on the rollers at 147bhp and the 106 gti was standard.
Dont get me wrong, nice motors though and dont rattle like my old...
All I can say is. No way as quick as a valver. sorry ;). Like drivin my birds AX GT except a bit posher and slightly quicker. They are revvin like f**k in 5th gear too. my valvers fairly standard and that was too.
Dont get me wrong was nice but not exactly rapid.
I drove a 106 gti today. same engine as a VTS and basically same car. Not that impressed to be honest. Didnt have as much poke as my pretty standard valver. seemed to be revving a lot too in fifth. Nice car but no way as fast as a 16v. Christ the engines tight under that bonnet too!
Wouldnt have it any other colour apart from 449 sports blue or monaco. Monaco wuld look cool cos not many valvers in that colour. I think a cup blue would make people think it was a 16v lookalike maybe as they never came in that colour. My cars just gone for a few bits of paintwork mate. £600...
valver ones are different mate, they make em go faster hehe.
wouldnt know tbh, never had an airbox on mine. get a IK, sounds sooo good. ill be makin an air box too that directs cold air. orders ... hehe
i was told by a copper u dont have to tell ur insurance unless u go to court and are convicted. I have 6 points and 3 are valid now as its been a few years since i got caught the first time. U will get 3 points im afraid.
