nice mate, whats the miles?

rentech, angelworks, k-tc, all doing great deals mate

mine usually uses around 0.5 ltr every 10k or so, coming up to 125k now

But if you look at your graph mate they dont cross at different points, they do on the graph because the bhp on the left measured higher than the torque on the right,i keep sayin it, imagine the graph as two different graphs on one piece of paper, it doesnt matter that they cross at higher revs...

mine's on a Y, reg'd in may 2001 iirs, either may or june i cant remember

ah lol ok chap i understand what you mean, i do agree i wish they would be on seperate graphs, to be honest it confused the hell outta me the first time i studied my graphs until i saw the different scales on either side lol

as above matey flywheel power is always a guestimate, always go with wheel hp, for example as a rule of thumb fwd usually loose around 18% power through the drivetrain, if yours had that bhp and 140 at the wheels, thats alot more transmission loss than 18%,best thing is take it with a pinch of...

i have a friend with a ph1 on a 51 reg, and also i have seen another one about 10 miles down the road from me on a 51 plate also, so i suppose it is possible, but iv never personally seen one

sorry chap i think we are both getting the wrong end of the stick, are you saying mine or his graph is false? false as in made up? most graphs are shown like this btw, with different scales also you say if the scales are not the same it will look odd, this is why in my above post i said...

its impossible to say as who has done his work, how does he know how much power he has etc? the 16vs are nippy, better with cams in, i had one with 166 bhp @ the wheels, the 8v's are not that great, pull well but nothing special,is it 8 or 16v chap?

also the reason why the graphs always look out is think of it as two seperate graphs on one piece of paper

see my above post, yours is the same, your bhp and torque do cross at the right time, its just the left side reads up to 190 bhp where as the oposite side reads to 155 lbs ft

if you have a look mate my bhp and torque do meet at 5252rpm, the reason why the graph shows they dont is the bhp reading on the left goes up to 170 bhp, and the torque readings onthe right only goes up to 150 lbts ft, making the graph look out of place, if you look at the indevidual graphs...

thought id show you my results mate, i cant see how the traction control makes your torque rise and dip, mine being a ph1 doesnt have traction control and mine did the same, mine was also on a Dastek mines standard apart from a cat back exhaust 141.6 @ the wheels 173.3 @ the fly though...

cant be head gasket already mate!

id say so, though for a lower budget a saxo vts/ 106 gti is just as much fun, though after a good drive in both i still prefere the clio Problem with the rallye is 'only' 100 bhp and they comand high prices still

lol you serious?!

Ok maybe i better illiterate a bit more, by saying doesnt need doing i mearly mean the engine may produce good power without the need of a strip, i know you know a million times more than me here chap so i should have explained better, as you have said there will always be improvement to me...

two very good points here mate, there is no point in spending out on something that doesn't need doing, but it all depends on your budget i would say

mines 124,500 miles, amd made 173.3 bhp with just a stainless exhaust. Iv always been the 'if it aint broke dont fix it' kinda way so to be honest have a few basic checks done and as long is it seems ok and the enfine seems healthy i wouldnt worry but it does depend on what you mean by...

i bet its my mate who has bought it, reg ending in FUF?

yup, or idle control valve, you can take that out the equasion by either taking it off and cleaning, or a quick way is whack it with a hammer

the disadvantage i see to this though chap, is you change at peak power, which leaves you lower down in the revs for the next gear, i would think changing just over peak power would drop you at better revs for the following gear though not much difference between the two id imagine lol

here is a vid of my ph 1, standard apart from a stainless cat back exhaust oh and yes thats the mileage and no i dont listen to that music, it was what was on the radio at the time lol

it wont be the VVT chap, that kicks in at curca 1300 rpm, and switches off at 5800rpm, i think you mean when it effectivly 'comes on cam' , mine feels like that, pretty dead till 5k then takes off looks about right for a std, though need to rev it a lil more me thinks

nice one mark, lol though off the mark the 'cus looks nippy

try a small mirror pushed down ti the curve of the inlet to see how far its gone in chap

there are benifits of fitting a larger diameter body, but there are better and cheaper avenues to go down first if you already havent chap, ie matched inlets

iv changed my plugs mate and its not that, the noise is from around the oil filler cap, not plugs, i will grab a vid of mine when i can mate, seriously dont let it worry you
