your logic is flawed, the fuel light is telling you that you need more fuel yet there could be 100 miles worth in it during mpg changes. So if you reset ur trip accelerate hard so you get 5mpg, your computer says 25 miles of range left and pops the fuel light on, does it go back off when you...
Bingo, fuel light comes on with a gallon left in the tank, you average 25mpg or there abouts, which means it comes on when your car recons theres 25 miles left, going by the ammount in thr tank. Same way my 200 light came on at 21 miles ;)
right so if im doing 10mpg on track, my fuel lights going to come on when ive got 25 miles left, yet ive actually got 100 miles left in the tank for my drive home at 40mpg?
your not going to get a set number of miles from the fuel light it depends how you drive it, in a 172 for example ive done 40 miles on the light and also ran out of fuel after 12 miles before!
that sounds exactly like what I want!
and I can have the standard ecu mapped to run the 197/200 cams however the dephaser will either be active or not rather than continuous as per the 197/200 is that right?
thanks for the input so far guys.
awesome conversion that turbo one
basically all I want is something that pulls and revs like the 7800rpm, smooth 200 engine, but in a mk2 shell, on standard management so it drives like it left the factory.
Not just the vvt setup just generally the smooth high reving nature of the engine which im not sure an rs2 would give me although an awesome torque spread and same or more power
I miss the smooth high reving F4R in my 200 and fancy a project, I was looking at turbo charging but yet to find someone who has a reliable one from reading about, I know fitting the 200 engine to the 172 isn't an easy task due to different gearboxes but what about building a hybrid?
would I be...
102k on mine still original as far as I know, I changed the engine in my car a month before I bought it and tried to talk my mate into fitting a new clutch but he didn't want to spend the cash, wish I had just paid for it myself now haha
I know what you mean, as if this heat wave we are having isn't causing me enough sleeping problems.
I got this price from adam last week
hub £114 inc vat per side they come bare with no bearing.
bearing £55.69 inc vat per side
hope that helps!
None of my local dealers are getting demonstrators its shocking, they tell me it has launch control and does 0-60 in 4.5 seconds yet no demo car lol booking a test drive for my week off in the fiesta.
because Renault spend a considerable amount developing the bushes for the car, and when new the cars drive brilliantly so that's how I wanted it to drive :)
im trying to build the ultimate fast road 172 at the moment, so far ive done...

look at the fuel lines in the engine bay whats happening? full of bubbles? you will occasionally see some.
there should be a primer down beside the fuel filter on the opposite side of the battery tray from the battery, pump that a few times then turn it over, might take 10-20 seconds turning...
