ordere with hids direct yesterday afternoon about 3ish and just received an email saying they will be here today between 2:10pm and 3:10pm, impressive!!
im bringing the ph1 172 just insured it today thought i was going to have to come and rip up the road in the DC-AYE
anyone fancy meeting at stirling services and heading to showcase to meet everyone else?
na 1.5's are fine, the 1.9s are problematic!
my last one was on 160k odd and as far as i could see was still all original (gearbox, turbo etc) had no service history either lol
mine is on just over 90k now bought it just under 70k
i do a s**t load of miles with work and because i have the cheap to run reliable car my mates are forever pinching it to go down south to pick up car parts etc
yeah ive not got much experiance with anything other than k-tec systems but they just have hangers that go around the box and bolt up so you can move them, im assuming the others are the same!
20k so far on my high boost remap on my 100 with no worries! apparently renault gearbox's are w**k but ive only had 1 fail in the 420,000 miles my mk2's have done and the one that failed had done 150k on the gearbox oil lol
it was working when removed from the car about 2 years ago, ill have a look it was in my 172 manifold i dont know if i gave that back to joe or not tho when i sold the car
my last dci 65 done 160,000 odd miles and never let me down apart from a gearbox going (turned out the oil wasnt replaced at 72k like it should have been!)
my dci 100 remaped to 130bhp does 55mpg no problem daily and will easily do 60mpg+ on the motorway if i want it to!
