compaired to a B series or K20 it is lol, ive yet to come up against a honda thats quicker than my 172 and ive had a blast with everything other than an s2k and a dc5
its JCC's mate from stirling dont think hes on the forum, hes just got it, couldnt keep up with the dci100 through the bends! said hes still not used to the handling so i told him id take him out in it but he kindly declined! lol he was quite a sound guy! im sure JCC will get him registered up!!
its it coming on cam, just at the point where the cams are working at their best and you get a little kick at 5k.
vvt just allows them to fit more wild cams and still have the car idle more normally, thats how you can have such a high reving power band but still fine to drive around town
dont worry mate, if vvt isnt engaging it wont feel strong through the revs, once its up to temperature it should pull to 7000rpm without dropping off the power. it wont make any difference at 5k.
although ive never heard of a dephaser "not working" they usually just make mental loud noises!
thats not VVT kicking in at 5k its just it coming on cam, dephaser wont make a difference at 5k, you will just notice a lack of power throughout the rev range if anything, usually its just noise
i garage mine over winter have done for the last 2 years its nothing to do with not being able to afford it personally its about keeping it imaculate and saving money when i cant really enjoy it in winter, cant drive it hard so i pootle about at 65mpg in the dci lol mine rarely see's the rain...
a search will throw up loads of threads on buying them but also check the exhaust isnt blowing at the welds or joints as they do when they are about to fall off and the stress of a sagging mount as mentioned could accelerate that wear, as can worn engine mounts
gsf will use either valeo or another well respected manufacturer who probably makes them for renault.
get the garage to fit and supply that way they make their cut on the clutch and wont screw you over lol. genuine clutches for the 1.2 16v used to be £60 + vat from memory, urs will be a...
you will be told to leave the engine alone etc as its not worth it. ive been there done that, i got good gains for a 1.2 was it worth the money NO, was it worth doing probably not, if i could go back would i do it again YES.
same goes for my 172, numbers dont tell the full story i spent about...
dont let it put you off go look at it when its cleaned up, my 172 is 100% imaculate but after sitting for 3 months u wouldnt consider buying it from looking at it, just needs cleaned up
hats off to you mate, ive got loads of respect for people who do a project and do it ALL start to finish, im fine with mechanical side of things but when it comes to fabricating, painting and bodywork im no good! cant wait to see how it turns out
awesome, i love 9's was looking at that one on piston heads a few days ago.
i cant afford a 9 sadly so im on the look out for a 7 at the moment now that the clios gone
first time ive gave the dci100 a proper push down a fast road was quite impressed by it, didnt go over the top due to cheap tyres but pushed pretty hard and it went well all that torque out the bends!
Fail...
was a good night chippy was good! f@nny was brilliant, anstruther cruise however was not, think the birds in the ka wanted me and allan after our beeping and waving at them coming into anstruther, but their way of impressing us wasnt the best redline past us in a laby 20 times.
good...
