how do you feel the handling mate compaired to 15s? you having problems like me where it handles a bit "different" i had more grip but it didnt feel as stable at high speeds on slightly un eaven roads
poor customer service = less business = cheaper prices better deals etc to try and make money, probably what this cheam re-flash and other deals are all about
and is andy the fat guy in the video that makes the B&M quickshift hard to use when its not? lol
yep ive got no problem boycotting them now after reading that,ok if they fucked something up and turned round and said sorry etc and sorted it for nothing then fair play but threatning someone and telling them to f**k off? fuk them i hope their business does go down the pan!
plus its not like...
cheers mate thats a great help! but one thing i dont understand is why does it drop off the power band in 1st gear at about 5,000rpm but not in any other gears? is this some sort of limiter in the ecu?
it pulls to limiter ok in 2nd and in 3rd but not 4th but by the limiter in 4th its pretty fuked anyway doing 100+mph so suppose thats why but the first gear thing is really annoying me, in 2nd it pulls and pulls then hits the limiter, first it pulls, pulls then dies for a second or 2 then limiter
are you using torx sockets or torx drivers (like a screwdriver) i was using the screw driver type and couldnt get the seatbelt bit undone but my drivers had a hole in them so put a screwdriver thu the hole to give more leverage (if you know what i mean)
as for electric windows just cut the...
trying to futher my knowledge on engines here to help get more power from mine, now i already know the basics on how an engine works and what part does what etc but couple of bits im confused on.
when you rev an engine too high it eventually loses power and you need to change gear to get back...
you say you want more speed off the mark, 17s will be killing your acceleration, especially off the mark.
i found mine was slightly slower off the mark with 16s than it is with 15s, but didnt bother me to much, the handling did tho! so im back to 15s
like middo says, sort the suspension and...
me: hi id like to order this part (hand piece of paper over with part number on it)
partsguy *playing on his computer*:what is it anyway
me: a clio 172 gearbox mount
partsguy:what age are you
me: 17 *with a confused look on my face*
partsguy: you sure its a 172 you have
me:no its a 1.2...
V6 style spoiler? lol whats V6 about that?
id get it lowered -60mm on the apex kit, standard backlights, colourcode it, civic ariel, clear side repeaters and silvervisions all round and it will look tidy
been looking into the 1.2 turbo myself not for the speed because it would cost mega money to go above 120bhp but just because it would be different, but really not worth the money
you can get coilovers for that money (i think)
or you could get a set of 40mm apex springs with uprated dampers for about £280 ish or something like that (dont know what uprated dampers the 2.0 boys use?) which leaves you with £200-ish for a set of braided brake lines and uprated pads or...
no they dont fit, different throttle body and airbox. saying that if its just a pannel filter your using they might be the same shape/size to save money so might fit even tho the airbox is different, ive never seen inside the ph3 airbox
get a Dynamique, Extreme 4/Campus sport are cheapo models, they have the cheap funny coloured seats which dont have the funkey headrests (dont have rear headrests at all!) no rear speakers, electric/heated mirrors, exterior temp sensor as standard these are all optional extras! yes they are...
mine has apex -60mm suspension kit, 130,000 miles of running in, i change oil every 6k for decent stuff, gets hammered regularly, EBC GreenStuff brake pads, only engine performance mods are induction mods (airbox modified for maximum airflow and hks pannel filter) and mine flys for what it is...
bet that sounds "interesting"? does it smoke a lot? does it sound much different from an aftermarket on a petrol, never heard a diesel with a different exhaust
