yeah would go pretty well, this one will be staying standard though, the torque on them is limited due to the gearbox anyway so if i was to map it to raise the torque i could get massive gains but not the best for the box so i wont be touching it :) plenty quick enough for day to day driving...
yeah probably one of the best run abouts you will get, i was originally looking for a fabia VRS but this handles better, wee bit slower but has the £35 tax a good 10mpg more than the fabia and cheaper insurance which is what a runabout is all about in the end
picked up clio number 4 today lol a black DCi dynamique 100 with Climate control and electric sunroof.
so far loving it, averaging 65mpg and its got a nice lump of torque when you need it, tomorrow im going to machine polish it and give it a good detail but for today it just got a quick wash...
rather than feeling gutted about it just look at it as a chance for a new car, i think id need to write my 172 off before i could change it! lol id need forced to change it!
u mean the inlet manifold? was polished by a professional machine polisher then just needs a good polish up with some metal polish every few months, not been done in a while really needs done!
no roll cage for me, to much weight ;)
more pics to come guys..
awesome mate u still liking the 182 mani? had it poping flames with the decat yet?
mine apparently throws blue flames down towards the ground from behind the bumper when i tap the limiter when the exhaust is hot with the stealth, decat and 182 mani :)
sweet stan cheers ill look into it see if any pop up, im thinking buying a full ex cup racer might be a better option. did they do RHD ones or are they all left?
arnold clark in stirling have a black one with black front end and it looks awesome, wheels are horrible though! they have theirs up on a ramp thing so you can see under it and the defuser is awesome! dont know if the 197 one was the same but it has cooling vents for the exhaust!
thanks for the advice guys, so basically what sort of kit am i looking at needing the obvious bits....
box
shafts
selector
do the engine mounts need modifyed to sit lower like the cup racer ones do to fit the box in or is that only to lower the centre of gravity?
done the bullets anthracite with yellow lettering, bit marmite not 100% on them yet but growing on me. calipers were yellow their now silver but im re doing them yellow this week at some point!!
be an awesome mod, apparently the cup race cars running relitavely standard engines but only weigh 900kg with a sequential box can do 0-100 in 10.5 seconds i beleive! think they top out about 120mph! lol
Stan, Rednax and DanD - Thanks for your advice/opinions and serious answers. much appreciated.
ollie 1982 - if you dont have anything proper to say then dont say it maby i should have been more specific, im buying another dci clio this week and now the 172 is going to be my weekend track and...
lol looking at one the now, im looking for another 1.5 dci and just wasnt sure about the colour in the pics. ive had black silver and red so need something different this time lol
