ive got FK 30mm bolt to hub spacers for the twingo but the wheel bolts need modified to chop them down as they go through the wheel, spacer then touch the hub before tight
a car like that on PCP is proably still going to cost 10k in payments though for the 3yrs, and your restricted in millage, and ideally need to keep it for the full term.
depreciation is an issue on them no matter what route you go, I think its either a case of deal with it, or choose another car
you install the software on your laptop, plug the rs tuner into the computer/car and take a screenshot and send it to henk, he then sends you the best map for your car
Re: Shell Nitro+
I was running it yesterday for the rolling road and expected lower figures than last time since ambient temps were a bit higher and I run 30c above ambient due to my poor intercooler, yet I ran 2bhp and 2lbft more, down to the fuel? who knows.
was running Tesco momentum last time
ha beat me to it there John! cheers
Next up it needs brakes as they have hardly any pads left!!!
looking at Pug 406 Coupe/Mk1 FRS / Fiat coupe turbo brembos + 172 280mm discs
bit of an update, AP rear dampers are rubbish and knock like mad so swapped them for a pair of Apex ones, problem sorted!
Car was on the rollers again, this time made 119.8bhp @ 5000rpm and 146lb/ft @ 3000rpm
had a rusty old engine mount cover decided to give it a paint since I had spare...
you must have only been running a standard car pplus injectors to get only 130bhp?
with mine running FMIC, Decat, Injectors, Filter, Fuel pump there is no reason why it wont be able to achieve high 140's.
There is 160bhp ones running on the standard turbo, turbo will start to max out around...
This.
its not buying new that puts me off, I don't mind the premium you pay and depreciation hit you need to take, its buying new Renaults that bother me purely down to the amount they loose that can be massively reduced by buying else where!
my 3 F4R's (ph1 172, ph2 172 and mk3 200) have never used a drop, they say there is 1L between minimum and max on the dipstick, and my 3 all used half the dip stick between 10k oil changes, so half a litre in 10k miles.
I know the tolerance is 1 litre per 1000 miles but if your anywhere near...
ive been looking at them but I just cant justify the cash for one, be interesting to see what sort of dealer discounts etc are available.
id personally prefer a meg 265 but £31k with the "must have" options for me is comical for a Renault, especially when a nice 250 granted not with the same...
it may just be me, but after all this 5 door ranting, am I the only one who looks at the fiesta ST and thinks it would look better with 5 doors?!!! lol
need to find something that fits now! I had a focus ST one but its just too big and no more, I don't want to start chopping the bumper and grill to bits and that was what I was going to have to do.
im going to do the same drive I done lastnight to get the figures I measured but this time with...
ive bought all 3 of my RS clios without driving them, isn't an issue for me, as they never disappoint.
this one however id probably want a shot due to how "different" it is with the box and engine, just to make sure I get on with it
Looking for a bit of input guys, when considering inlet temperatures and intercooler choice, generally what is the ideal sort of figures your looking for, ambient temp + ???
im running around ambient temp + 25-30 degrees C and this to me seems very hot!?
be interesting to see what dealers let them go for, I paid something like 15k or there abouts for my 200 non cup with a few options, and sold it 10 months later for 11k, granted that was never part of the plan or id never have gone brand new but I agree one of these would be financial suicide...
