I tried 8.0 when it first came out and couldn't stand it, then a few months later decided to give it another go and a longer try, same issue hated it. Installed 8.1 last night (90 day evaluation) and it was much much better! and I could have lived with it however my Intel Z87 chipset seems to...

the brembos weren't much to write home about anyway, my 172 running a mild fast road setup, lines and decent fluid easily outperformed them!

they must have better dealers than the uk too, ours would stick 13" wolfrace alloys on it and a massive ford RS badge down the side

^ haha that's mega! f**k the auto box, f**k 5 doors, f**k turbos, f**k s**t dealers, f**k a test drive! id buy that purely on looks

<3 R32 GTR's, my R32 fund is getting smaller and smaller as months go on as my mrs keeps dipping it for the house fund :(

glad you like it! I just feel they are too normal looking if it had a 1.2 under the bonnet it wouldn't look all show no go, where if you had a mk3 200 with a 1.2 engine it would look so much faster than it actually was!

has anyone? well apart from the people willing to part with 20k without a test drive lol

Need to go custom nothing off the shelf as far as i know plus isnt the cat part of the manifold on these?

as above, at 19k with a manual box, LSD and 240bhp, id be all over it. at 19k as it is, assuming a dealer was willing to sell me one, im out. Fiesta ST all day every day, infact as per my thread in other marques my choice would be Fiesta ST or Corsa VXR nurburgring before one of these.

Ive tried various auto dsg vw's and a few mercs for work and just not for me!

don't superchips still offer a warranty to cover anything your manufacturer one wont if it fails due to map? I know they used to

yet to drive one but had a poke about one and it was lovely, if I could have got a manual it would be sitting on my drive by now!

^ that, i sold mine last month and im looking at them again already! Lol

what was fred @ BTM's one about them having faster piston movement than a Renault f1 engine or something?! due to the bore and stroke if you turn the heated rear windscreen on the wing mirrors heat up

there was a video of this happening a few years ago, rally car

:rasp:

haha its not a lemon im sure you will get to the bottom of your issue... "engineer of the year"

never saw that one before, your not the guy with the green one with the flat spot are you ;)

same way diesels always feel quicker than they are! fabia VRS always felt 172 pace until you got them side by side and the 172 destroyed it! on the subject of the 200t however, im loving how much it fails, karma to they clowns at Renault who caused my headache with my shed of a 200!! just shows...

only reason you can spell it is because you're addicted to **** ya kent

ahh right yeah, the ph1 was just a toy had the dci100 and then GT DCi106 at the same time as it as my daily, couldn't be bothered with the hastle of 2 cars now lol

depends what you consider an upgrade and a downgrade though, imo the only time I downgraded was when I went from the 200 to the twingo GT as I had to due to it being such a shed and I had 3k neg equity due to the short time I had it so I had to take a 12 month loan for the 3k neg and the 4k for...

yeah soon to be 172 injectors, fastchip stage 2 etc etc before probably selling it to buy something else lol I get easily bored one is quite enough though haha! everyone keeps telling me this, not sure what it is, I just hate change lol yeah I like to see stuff like this too, get yourself a...

did you say you rev match on the way up the box? there is a massive difference in the speed you can shift in a 197/200 gearbox compaired to the gearbox on a 1.2 tce that's why!

jesus no that would not be a good idea lol!!!

extra torque always makes things feel quicker though!

had a day off today so was sorting through all my old pictures and organising them a bit better (as you do on a s**t rainy day off!) and realised I think I have a bit of a problem. it began in 2004 at 16 and a half years old when I bought a standard 1.2 16v clio, it later ended up like...

there was a guy around this way back in 2005 when I had my first 172 had a standard looking vts, slightly lower with a set of R888's or something similar on it, straight line I was just creeping closer to him but round the bends in my at that time standard 172 running factory conti tyres he was...

I find your best to keep going till 5k if your really going for it as you get the overboost at 4.5k but when just making quick progress 3500-4000rpm is more than enough!

that's the benefit of a turbo car though ive never got mine above 5000rpm!
