van won, my arse!!
i was pulling on him, if it had been dry and had actually gripped when i droped it into 1st then changed into 2nd i wud have done better lol
plus can the van go round the top corner on forsyths road at 105mph? lol
cant see why its pointless when he has a colour that you cant get a 182 in, so it would be different!
in my opinion tho i cant see it working, but i could be wrong.
nice get it colourcoded, or atleast get some back to black on it! and some tyre gel.
some ph2 rear lights and dual-optic front lights (or what ever you call them) and it will look mint!
and then finish it off with eather a dynamique interior or 172 one :)
also need opinions on this, chances are its getting a 2.0 16v conversion in the future so could FK's be used with a 2.0 conversion or am i better getting 172 hubs, coilovers for a 172 etc etc?
cheers
hi, looking at possibly upgrading to coilovers after seeing my car with 5 people in it yesterday (apex -60mm kit) but i only want to do it if the handling is going to be better than it is with the apex kit as i preffer handling over ride height.
looked into the 1.6 16v for my car, after reading all that was involoved and watching videos i decided it just wasnt worth it as it wasnt that much faster to justify the cost/effort required. so im going for a 2.0 16v conversion.
as for the sell up and buy a 172, i could have much MUCH more...
ive recently noticed that when putting weight on the front of my car (to bounce the suspension up and down) the front doesnt seem much more firm than a standard 1.2 16v
also when reversing out my drive or driving over a small bump the back feels hard but the front seems a bit softer.
now i...
not sure if it was you or not mate, near stirling services, was pulling out of a junction and at the last minute saw a blue clio with black wheels and ph2 rear lights on it and thought it might have been you!
looks awesome mate, we done my mates silver corsa today, then finished it off with a de badge session! lol back end looks much smoother and tidy now without the badges, although we didnt have time to do the vauxhall badge in the middle...
dont get me wrong the miles help but it didnt pull on some 1.2s before the mod was done, same goes for a mates 1.4 8v saxo, we were both neck and neck sometimes he edged away a bit but now i can pull on him
ive got a different engine (D4F 1.2 16v) but you will be able to do simmilar on your engine.
the airbox on mine had a seperate chamber so it still held air but kept the engine quiet, probably helps with fuel economy etc so i cut that out so its all 1 big chamber..
now the airflow was...
thought you didnt like pushing it because of the gearbox, now you want N2O? not having a go just raising a point.
if you go for it though should be rapid!
Extreme 3 comes with wheeltrims standard.
my mums got a standard Extreme 4 with no optional extras and shes got alloys, trip computer, colourcoded bumpstrips and spoiler etc etc looks like a dynamique but has no rear speakers, no electric mirrors, no air recirculation, colourcoded interior...
my mate was installing his stereo and couldnt get it in because of the wiring jaming it so him being him decided to push it as hard as he could and broke one of the wires in the wiring loom, this fused the immobiliser fuse and left him with no electrics.
i taped up the broken wire replaced the...
i cant tell any acceleration difference between my 15s and my 16s because the rolling radius is still about the same due to lower profile tyres on the 16s.
but i do notice a difference in the handling, its much more chuckable with the 15s and handles much better but doesnt have as much grip as...
i dont like the word "chipped" if your talking about a superchips "chip" then dont bother, if your talking about an actual ECU Remap then yep id go for it, mine is getting done once the exhaust and sports cat go on.
and theres no point in modding a 1.2? yes there is, ill take the video cammera...
selling up isn't an option its Crazy Clios car (Pictures)
