oil and filter changed today, got Millers 5w40 CFS for £40 inc vat at my local motor factors which i thought was awesome! plus a fiver for filter and sump washer.
you get DCi Twingos in Europe think they are a 90hp model! - would like of one of they diffusers if i could find one!
Ordered a k-tec pannel filter today along with genuine spark plugs and going to my local place to get some millers oil and filter to service it :)
a job i done yesterday and...
i spent thousands on my 1.2 16v before swapping it after 12 months for a 172 which i then spent more thousands on. I dont regret spending money on any of them was all fun
dont think brembos will make a return even in special edition models, too much hastle with them and sticking pins/pads, nothing wrong with standard single piston brakes if they use resonable sized discs and a good pad/disc combo
they handle and feel much more responsive mid cornering on 15's even my 1.2 16v's i used to run turinis on the road and had 15s for track and going a blast
remap is about your lot as far as performance goes on it, probably gain 20-30hp and similar torque however you would be better just changing for another daily!
I Agree with Sam, they are much better half way thru their life!, i always ran them on my DCi100 as they were a decent cheap performance tyre, fitted some to my PH1 172 to get it thru an mot and they wern't a patch on PE2's but they were also not far off a quarter of the price!
personally first what id do (after spending a fortune on both my 172's) is new genuine dampers all round and eibach sportline springs, then new genuine track rods, track rod ends and you could go as far as i did with new bottom arms which include new bushes and ball joints but that was just me...
removed the twingo badge and fitted some phillips blue vision ultra bright 501 sidelights today, no pics of the sidelights yet ill get some tonight! (im not into LED sidelights thats why i went for these for just a bit cleaner and brighter look than OEM)
