he says his car doesnt really come out in the wet anyway, and to be honest even cheapo tyres are ok in the wet if your sticking to speedlimits and not hammering into corners (or so ive found on my mums car anyway)
you havn't said how much you want to spend but, i usually stick to pioneer so recommend anything pioneer, especially the high end units, ive got a DEH-P8600MP which is nice :)
lol ive put £80 of petrol in mine in the last 5 days and i only use it for driving about, my works only 2 minz away so not like i have a long drive to work!
yep but if you read i said mine keeps pulling into 6,000rpm where my mums standard one doesnt and the power drops off about 5,800rpm.
with 122,000 miles the engines really loose and the airbox/filter lets it breath nice and freely!
been driving my mums dynamique tonight since my brakes are fuked (Changing them tomorrow) and was playing with the trip computer (mine doesnt have one) now i know these arnt the most accurate thing in the world but i was amazed at it.
i managed to get it to 17.5mpg when hammering it BUT then...
depends what mood im in, if im just driving normally then usually change about 3,500rpm, dont take it over 3,000rpm for the first 15 mins
if im on the dual c/way then usually about 5,000rpm
if im really going for it if someones up my arse or on a backroad then its usually 6,200, which is...
tell me how this is a different kettle of fish when it comes to modifiing them then, you still get crap gains when it comes to BHB per £
and cheers to all the guys (seems to be the non RS owners!) who actually have something decent to say and who are sticking up for me!!
to be honest neather does a RR unless its a before and after on the same RR with same air temp etc as im sure you know.
i was bored thought id make a video, video didnt turn out as great as i thought but i thought id post it anyway.
i think you must be getting confused its not a superduper megaflow its a super megaflow, im assuming you dont know what it is since your having a laugh at it?
i cant see what benefit having a flux capacitor on a car would have performance wise?
i cant see how its a different kettle of fish? why spend thousands on a 180bhp car to get it to not much over 200bhp when spend that on somthing that was designed to be fast such as an evo and you get a massive power boost?
its the same idea as why i mod a 1.2 because the car was cheap, its...
look at it this way, i cant afford to buy or insure a faster car, ive spent £21 on giving it a noticeable power increase, sounds a bit better and is a lot better to drive.
what about all these guys that spend £ on making a 172/182 faster is that wasted? why not buy a turbo car and get massive...
right basically, my car has minor performance mods, in total its cost me £21 on engine mods, now when i had first got my car i couldnt find any speedo vids, now i thought this would be a good idea for anyone else whos just got a 1.2 whos thinking of modding it to compair it to there car
its nothing to do with the invisible speedo, you can clearly see the speedo pulling to 70mph and then me coming off the throttle at 80mph to see how fast (or how slow) it gets there, but also lets you hear the noise from my modded airbox (not lots of little holes drilled sucking in hot air...
coming a long nicely, gear knob and pedals are nice, although i prefer the more standard look inside, but still good work!
to be honest id only lower your car 60mm or more, anything less and it doesnt look much lower unless you park beside another clio and even at that its not a great deal...
