ive had a blast with a standard vrs when it was first mapped and it was on par with the vrs, i would think the vrs would have been quicker above 80mph on the motorway but i was on a twisty B road so didnt get a good comparison to actual straight line speed.
my mate has a 120bhp stripped out...
heres a video i done a while back showing what happens when you put your foot down in 5th at 60mph on the motorway for an overtake, would have been a bit quicker had i actually been on a smooth motorway ;)
i was forced to downgrade my last 190bhp 172 to the 100 when i was moved from work and honestly didnt regret it, the money saving was considerable (unlike if i had downgraded to a 1.2 or something) so i loved that fact. plus its so quiet and smooth around town unlike my 172 was, its quite funny...
my old 65 used to do around 700 miles to a tank and that wasnt trying massively hard either, i recon the 100 would do 650 to a tank (that equates to around 60mpg using an online calculator) so sounds about right
going for it on my average drive home from work (35 odd miles) late at night i average about 50mpg and dont drop much under 125mph lol
taking it extremely easy, really trying to get massive mpg mid 70's is possible with the climate control off however 60 odd is a good number to base the...
ive got a mapped one 130bhp 190lb/ft
as with all dynamiques in 1.4, 1.6 and dci trim they handle extremely well, not far off 172 levels of grip, just a bit soft, mine is half way thru getting 182 cup dampers, hubs, ARB and eibach sportlines so it will handle awesome.
also fitting a FMIC and...
turnover of 800k and mapping cars with megasquirt LOL
regardless of what went on with cam timing etc you told a customer the original loom would be intact and instead, completely disabled it. id be taking that further.
personally if i was you i would do what i do.
Ph1 172 for weekend fun, and track days (£2500 for a minter!)
DCi 100 for daily (£3500 for a minter) 65mpg, £35 a year road tax and cheap insurance every day
my dci costs me less than £400 a year (MOT, TAX, Service, Insurance) + fuel
used the search function and cant find a great deal just bits and bobs, and mark fish website doesnt have anything on it.
basically im going for a trophy setup on the ph1, all the standard parts are sourced, im just interested in this setup.
what does it include, what are the costs?
i read...
jamex are terrible, fitted some to a 1.2 16v corsa C for a boy a few years back and they were horse s**t.
slammed the back about 60mm and didnt lower the front (these were 40mm springs) the rear springs had about 10 coils, 8 of which just sat against each other when the car was sitting on the...
thats why i would consider diesel, i know you said you dont like them but they are quieter inside than the 1.6 petrol which is droney anything other than 30mph town driving, comforable is obviously the same what ever engine you go for, plus much cheaper to run with its £30 a year road tax and...
some nice pics there, forgot it was on was going to pop up. I spot that Berlingo van that cuts about falkirk with the big front mount on it!
also white Clio GT, wet dream if its in diesel form with leather!! lol

id possibly consider the TCE engines then if i was you, we have a 1.6 16v dynamique in mk2 form (ie lighter!) and apart from being...
dci 100 is a sound car, im running one remapped to 130bhp/190lb/ft, give my 172 a run for its money!
dci clios arnt well liked on this forum your better off on cliodci.net however ill answer your questions, but its worth checking out for some more info!
engines are sound, regularly serviced...
yeah think ill give it a clean, paint the cover and polish the engine mount and fuel rail guard, shes oblivious to under the bonnet, im just bored for my 2 weeks off lol
your main problem as far as i can see is the PH2 dashboard is controlled by the UCH, the ph1 isnt afaik so its not transferable without doing that too!
