cars now finally running good, just going in this week to finally get a dodgey caliper replaced so it finally brakes in a straight line again, then it will be running sweet! never to be returned to arnold clark ever again! f*****s!!

standard apart from a pipercross pannel filter, car on 4500 miles engine on 2000miles

yes torque is the one with the big peak at 3000rpm bhp is the smooth line that peaks at 202 up the top of the rev range

TDF stage 3 is looking appealing, whats the crack with the flat spot on aftermarket exhausts is TDF able to map this out these days?

thats the torque graph buddy

looking at my RR graph from yesterday, lets not use this thread to dispute results etc but by looking at the graph its self, the car hasn't started to tail off even by the rev limiter, so looking at it i recon i would benefit from a few extra hundred RPM thoughts? Uploaded with ImageShack.us

gunk is normal, its condensation build up in the rocker cover. engines are ok, i blew one up at 140k but i was a mad 17yr old, car had FULL dealer history though!

not surprized, 6th in the 200 is about as long as 2nd in your average diesel lol

500bhp mr2 turbo engine, mid engine RWD. just the cops being c***s as usual they done him for his plates not 100% sure on the issue but hes been done for them on a few ocassions and every time had it threw out when he fights it as they are legal. sounds like he just likes fighting them for the...

better with a 330d then :o

thats not a J turn thats just turning...

the boy we were with in the yaris was getting mega hastle from the cops as per usual lol

guy in the red 200 was just driving about all night screw that! i was there in my mates blue DC5

i sheared one a few years back too, it seems quite common on cars running uprated gearbox mounts (i was running a polly bushed 172 mount - it was on my 1.2 16v) i always put it down to the stress of less play in the mount. possibly just a s**t setup only having one lower mount if yours has done...

looked better with the silver wheels, would have spent the money on some spacers and springs

yes mounts are the same, 172/182 has a gearbox to subframe mount that the lower spec cars dont but id imagine you could just drill a hole in the subframe to use it anyway, however cant see that being an issue for you since you are using a different engine/box. suspension/lower arm/arb setup is...

got one on pre order should have it for the end of the month aparently. Symbian does everything i need ive been using it for the last 1.5yrs on my N8 reason its running symbian is because they have been developing the camera technology for the last 5yrs so been developed to run on Symbian...

yep mate that sounds about right, the setup on it is awesome, it manages to offer little body roll, while soaking up bumps with ease, it does feel quite stiff on the road compaired to a Dyn S but in no way uncomfortable. The 200 with cup pack can be very uncumfy on the road but i dont mind as...

too little torque for a car of that weight/size in the clio. engine does well in the twingo, infact it does better in the mk2 in 110hp guise!

roundabouts and sharp corners are only going to be an issue if you approach it like a spaz and turn the wheel expecting it to turn. the mk3 chassis is extremely adjustable on the limit, use weight transfer to get it round the bend as you would in any nimble FWD car and you will be fine. I will...

if your suffering from "lack of grip" in the GT then your using a far to aggressive and slow style. i done plenty of track days in mine and never had a single issue with the standard setup. standard brakes left a lot to be desired on track but not really what they were designed for. i beleive...

good job done, renault took 2 weeks to do mine on my 200, and i got the car back in a dangerous state so your doing not to bad!

check for play in joints and track rods/ends as above, replace dampers, go genuine unless your willing to spend big bucks. geometry setup as the icing on the cake!

after owning 2 172's and 2 mk2 dci's id have another dci100 in a heartbeat but not another 172, depends what your looking for in a car though. i done about 30k hard miles in my dci100, 20k of them remapped at 130hp / 190lbft and had a right giggle in it! abused some much more powerful cars and...

be sad to see it go always saw this car about on here since i joined and enjoyed your videos. engines notoriously strong.. i used to say that at one point too when bigging up RS clios lol!!

search for my thread years ago when i was going to do it, i had most of the info all sorted just awaiting parts before i manned the f**k up and bought a 172 lol

depends what you want, do you want a more expensive to run hot hatch or a cheap to run car?

i wanted to hear it! lol

theres a known problem with people thinking they can drive a car like a race driver without using the proper techniques. Yes the gearbox should possibly be built to withstand these idiots better. same issue with J series mk1/mk2 boxes. box used properly wont give any issues. change the oil when...
