its a joke, im filling up my car every 4 days. yesterday i put £40 in the tank and when i started the engine after i had payed for it, the needle only went to the bar bellow full!! so it would have taken about £45-£47 to fill!!
haha what a state, in the first photo i actually thought it wasnt too bad but needed lowered then i noticed the white mirrors n thought ewwwww! and THEN i saw the front end.
oh my god what has the guy done
ohh a reply from the master himself!! ;)
hmm not as simple as i thought then, is there anything that can be done with that stupid plastic inlet manifold as ive read there is BIG room for improvement.
looking for some info on headwork for a 1.2 16v, prices and what gains can be expected.
i assume i would need (or would be recommended) to get a remap, can you remap the standard 1.2 16v ECU?
just looking for ideas for throwing more money at the thing lol
i was £212 for lowered 60mm, alloys and induction kit although i then phoned up to get the induction kit removed from the policy and they refunded £65 or somthing and looking at my policy it says aftermarket non manufacturer alloys...
to be honest wouldnt go much over a 1.2 16v, mine handles s**t hot and for that exact reason i ocassionaly forget about me only having 4 months driving experiance and nearly put it in a field then calm down a bit for a week or so lol
yep full interior is done now - dynamique front and rear seats, dynamique door cards, dynamique rear pannels, dynamique gear knob, 172 carbon fibre look silver dash inserts, 172 aluminium look interior door handles. still got the crappy light coloured bottom dash, might get round to swaping that...
looks good, smoked back lights look ok and wheels suit the car, id get some clear or smoked side repeaters tho!
not a fan of these splitters though they're too big and dont match the front bumper at all, looks out of place
fogs weigh to much there for dynamiques mine is an expression AKA "cup"
pmsl.. seriously yeah fogs are on the list, just kinda skint at the moment maby soon
think this might be the one i saw up the retail park, as i remember seeing a MK1 V6 and it was a 53 reg (which i thought was odd, what year did they start he MK2?)
deffo worth it considering all its going to cost you is what £30 for an ITG then a couple of quid for cold air feed and what ever you need.
go for it matey, be different :)
spray some WD40 on them so it looks like they are leaking and get them done under warrenty.
APEX kit is awesome on the other hand tho and the one must have mod for any non RS
but how can you exclude the VTS and 106GTi they are still 1.6 16v's!
i was hoping to build a VTS eating monster with a 1.6 16v K4M which i still know is possible with enough effort and money, but i cant afford to mod it for now so would just be a standard 1.6 16v for a while.
good idea...
well fitting a cold air feed helps but theres still far to much hot air, the problem starts especially when your sitting at a junction or traffic lights so all the hot air under the bonnet is just collecting and then when you try to pull away you have hardly any power lol
last time i was in Arnold Clark they had delivery millage pre registered dynamiques for £6,000 which is twice as good as a cheap ass campus.
atleast get a campus sport which is basically an extreme 4, the normal campus is a 1.2 8v which are slower than slow! (i know a couple of people who have...
yep its some sort of switch on the brake pedal, the guys who fitted my mums dual controls managed to make the brakelights do this on the 1.2 16v learner car. took it into renault and they sorted it in 2 minz! someone on here will know how to do it though if you dont already.
lol i know a guy about here who has a 1.0 new shape corsa which apparently (and i quote) "eats Corsa SXI 1.2 16v's for breakfast"
i couldnt be bothered arguing so just put on a surprized face and said cool and told him how ive been a lot faster than some of them too.
my mate who was with me...
