Looks amazing Chi.....

Welcome mate, as Nick said, this is probably one of the most knowledgeable forums I have been on, if you can't find it on here ,it probably hasn't been done....

That's the issue mate, unless you know someone or can tackle it yourself, Labour costs will be the big hit, and if nothing else, at least you will get a warranty etc....

Most of the cost will be in labour to get at the release bearing, so if you are going to change that, you might as put another few quid to it and change the clutch at the same time, usually comes as a kit anyway....

I sort of like it, twin turbo one would be the one to go for, even in standard guise 0-60 in just over 5 seconds and 160+, and I bet it wouldn't take a lot to increase the power....

Do they offer more lift than a standard 172 or 182 cam?

How close to the motors limit though? i.e. on the verge of going bang all the time? Maybe easiest and cheapest setup would be 2 GSRX1000 engines mounted where the back seat is? http://www.tigerracing.com/z100.php, just as idea of the engine setup.... I bet you could pick both motors up for less...

Mine........

Welcome mate, I would have liked an orange one, but a Blue one came long first... :smile:, get some pics up and specs for the seven....

Black Megane sport Seaforth round about, half 1 today, i was following in a Artic Blue 182.

I got my FF182 for a lot less than 2k, its in excellent condition as well, but looking at prices I might have been lucky, they seem to be 2k plus, as JPD said, FF comes with a few toys, so you get the best of both worlds.....

Glad I am not the only one who wondered then....

I think I paid £120 for the tuner and about £80 for the unlock code and map, bearing in mind you can then sell your tuner for the money you bought it for, but I kept mine as a diagnostic tool..... Mine took about 10 mins to backup and 10 mins to re-write

Done mine a few weeks, ago, well worth it, easy to do as well, I was worried about messing with the ECU, just make sure you back it up before you re-write it just in case, also another good thing to remember is, if you haven't got a really strong battery on the car, attach a battery charger, you...

Strange thing is, the colouring doesn't look too bad if its been running really lean, I would expect them to be a lot lighter looking? like really grey?

You will not be disappointed mate If you do it... Willo

I think that's more a recommendation, although now I have mapped mine I only use 98.... Willo

My idle is much better when warm, bit erratic whilst warming up, but sits in 1000rpm when warm... Willo

Mine is on the back window just below the spoiler, was on the car when I got it, looks ok there... Willo

Been out around the Preston Area on my bike many many times, run up the A6 towards Devils bridge is decent once you get past Lancaster, just watch out for the pumpkins posing as policeman Willo

Yes, but that map is for a 182, with a 182 ECU? To be Fair, Henk replied to me pretty quick when I mailed.... Willo

How did the tuner come with a map? the map is file from your computer? isn't the tuner just a box that links the pc to the car to allow it download? When I bought my tuner, I had to buy an unlock code and a map..... Willo

Go on youtube and have a look at some of the vids of 1*2 going round the ring in Germany, it really isn't about straight line performance, there will always be someone quicker down the straight, well most of the time, but look at the way they catch M3's and 335D through the twisty bits, I think...

I assume so, bit technical for me, but I wouldn't think the standard ECU could hold 2 programmes, but I am not really sure, just be nice to have the choice for a bit of fun.... Willo

I can't see it having to be remapped, as the engine will only suck in as much air as it needs, mine had a piper cross induction kit and exhaust, and was fine, better now I have give it the RS tuner treatment though.....:wink: Willo

I looked at this when I remapped mine a few weeks ago, I was sort of tempted, but decided on just the Ron98 map, I am really pleased, in an ideal world it would be lovely to be able to switch between the 2 maps at the touch of a button, be fun to have the pop map every now and again without...

Years Driving: 23 Test Passed: 1990 Cars Owned: 3, 2 mk1 Fiestas, and my current FF182 Total CC: 3900cc Total Miles Driven: Driven pretty much most days, so must be in the 100's of thousands of miles. Most Miles in One Car: Probably 5k in one of my Fiestas Money Spent buying cars: £1600...

I am averaging about 30mpg, but my journey to work and back is really short and stop start at lights etc... Willo

Did mine a couple of weeks ago, I was nervous about re-writing the ECU software, but it gives you the option to back it up, took about 10 mins to do both, job done, car pulls so much better low down, being honest it idles better, but mine seems to take a coupe of seconds to settle down to idle...

Sorry guys, I am not knocking anyone for doing it, I spent 5k on a family holiday this year, so I can see where you are coming from, you must have an understanding family, if I said to my little lad and the missus, we aren't going away this year cause I want to spend 5k on the car I would be...
