Im aiming for 300bhp and 350+ lb-ft torque. Swapping the exhaust and Airbox should pretty much get me there.

Anytime you like! What spec is your new meggy?

no, I didn't see the point in filming a noisy fan for 5 minutes!

Ahh I get you. Surprisingly only just heavier than an R26.......

Is that a joke or terrible math skills? 277 / 1.4 tonnes = 197 ish per tonne?

So, not disappointed with the results however it shows just how restrictive the std intake and exhaust are! figures were 277bhp and 325lb-ft torque so just under what I predicted. It is running fairly rich at 11:1 so I'm hoping with some breathing mods and something done with the exhaust it'll...

A bit of both - lol It's running a std exhaust apart from downpipe and decat. Aye, be my guest. I should be there by 4pm.

Ahh right, thought you may have been local and were goign to pop in (then realised you're in the SW!) Do you know what mods the ST has had for 330bhp? and do you know how much torque it's producing? I'll be happy if mine makes more than std RS torque (325lb-ft) It certainly feels like a torque...

About 4pm, depends when I get out of work! Why?

I'll film it on the rollers, but pretty pointless as you won't hear anything over the fans!

No need for canbus bulbs. Paying extra for something you don't need I've got loads of LED's from an eBay seller called partsulike, the item number of the ones I use are 330908390293 (can't link to it on work PC)

Right, it's going back on the dyno this afternoon. Same place as before, so a fair comparison. Last run (4 weeks ago) it made 217bhp 242lb-ft torque. I'm predicting 280+bhp and 330lb-ft. I'll update later today

Yes he has std reflector headlights which are NOT suitable for HID bulbs. Fingers crossed the rozzers start to clamp down on the random fitting of HID bulbs, it's getting to be a bit of an epidemic! Everything from little Clio's to big old mercs seem to be running them at the minute. If you want...

Do you have projector style headlights? If not - please don't put the HID kit back in as it just blinds other road users. If you have got projectors then no problem!

But the first post says you've got a new one already? If that's faulty then get the supplier to replace it? How have you pin pointed it to the alternator if a multimeter is showing that it's charging etc? Maybe it's time to get a mech/garage to look at it instead of blindly throwing money at it?

3 points and £100 fine i believe, it's well known as being as bad as doing 40 in a 30 zone and has the same punishment.

Yes, it's cheap. However factor in the £600 for belts, £400-600 for decent rubber (landsail tyres?) and it's no longer cheap.

Fuel filler ain't it?

Not my sort of thing to be honest and i'm no traffic light racer. It's not really that kind of car and would struggle to get away quickly I think. I'm 31, and not really interested in traffic light gp's!

Of anything in particular? I can get various videos sorted, once the weather is better! It's currently pretty wet so next to useless! On the way home in it last night it decided to light the front wheels in 4th (it was dry at the time!) hence the trying to kell me!

Well, it's had it's map. It's got Shark Performances Stage 3 map on it now - which is good for 310bhp and 370lb-ft with the right mods. As i'm still running the std airbox and exhaust system (to keep the stealthiness) i'm not expecting it to be near those numbers but 280-290 and 340lb-ft i would...

How wild are we talking?

Bbt nobody asked how much they were or said that one was needed?

Odd response?

There's a whole traders section and he's in there! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?197-Renault-Wolverhampton-Parts

Why do yon have a 3 week old Picanto that you no longer need?

Might be a stupid question, but why don't you just take the car back and drive it until the part arrives? If it's only a slight blow then it seems crazy to be in a 1.2!

This happens on 100's of cars from the last 5 years or so. I'd have thought plod knew about it to be honest! It's very common!

This has only done 8k in 2 years. She drives 3 miles to work and back, no more. If we take it on a long run it'll hit 50+

My mrs has a DSG 1.2 tsi SE. The DSG box is lovely! The power is great in these, for a such a small engined car. The MPG isn't all that great though, she's averaging about 40mpg but that's mainly due to the town driving she does.
