    Mk3 DCI 106 MPG

    probably RS Tuning unless anyone closer to home can do it, but doesnt seem to be much choice up here other than superchips who arnt giving the gains i want.

    Mk3 DCI 106 MPG

    yeah the mk3's have stronger gearboxes so have more torque, if you look at a RR print out of a standard dci100 you will notice it hits its max torque of 148lbft and then the graph flattens out and it has a flat torque graph untill it starts dropping off because its limited, and you can feel it...

    Sell the 1.2 and get a 1.5?

    mk3s feel slower than they are not because of the weight but because of the size, my mum has a 1.2 16v mk3 and it feels mega slow even compaired to mk2 1.2 16vs but in reality its really just the same! think they have shorter ratios to make them accelerate slightly quicker to offset the weight...

    Mk3 DCI 106 MPG

    yeah mate the 100 i would avoid if its used for the sole purpous i use mine for and thats as a 2nd car to save cash, the 65 was better for that, this is a better warm hatch, and a lot of people laugh when i call it a warm hatch but it is hugely capable as i proved at the last cliosport meet and...

    21, 1st year NCB = 55% cheaper insurance!?

    like i said in your other thread mate try your hardest to save up and pay it all off in one go makes the year ahead so much easier thats what i done and went from paying £260 a month to 0 a month for insurance, yeah i was skint for 2 months to save it up but gave me much more money for the other...

    Mk3 DCI 106 MPG

    yes mate when i got my 100 i felt it was pretty slow untill i realised i need to be doing 4000rpm gear changes compaired to the 3000rpm changes i was doing in the 65. ive never driven an 80 but since it has the same turbo as a 65 i assume its much the same just with a bigger kick due to more...

    900 Euros to change steering rack? Sounds about right?

    ive never heard of a steering rack going on a 172 maby ive just got lucky though you sure its not the inner track rods are causing the play?

    Mk3 DCI 106 MPG

    can only average 60ish in the 100 on my usual daily drive, not taking it too easy though, used to average 68 the 65 though!!

    Sell the 1.2 and get a 1.5?

    yes because most cars of the same size and similar weight go about the same when one has 30bhp and 50lb/ft more, have you ever driven a 1.2? my 172 doesnt even feel torquey compaired to my dci lol
  26. Martin_172

    Sell the 1.2 and get a 1.5?

    Stupid engine question !

    need to disagree with you there, while it may not make a big difference in a straight line "race" the numbers dont tell the full story i only gained 15bhp and 15lbft with my mods but the difference to the way it drives is unbeleivable it may only pull 4 or 5 car lenghts by 145mph on a standard...
