a common misconception these days is that you MUST run you new car in!!
BULLsh*t!!!
were not talking about ford anglias here!!!
Modern engines are so well made these days they dont need to be run in, its just the manufactures covering there arses
Let it warm up for 10min, then nail the sh*te out of it!!!!
dont bother running it in, no point
i didnt and mine is still going strong after 72000miles (infact id say its the quickest 1.2 16v going!!! 86bhp last time it was on the rolling road)
yeah but you had a special "northern" cup, so it was always gonna be faster from day 1
seriously though, the quickest clio ive driven has 75000miles on it (52 plate!!!), all the others ive driven still feel tight
Good lad!!!!!
if you MUST keep the CAT, you can consider the k-tec sports CAT, but TBH id go full decat, these engines respond much better without the CAT
youll have no problems with lights on the dash
you dont wanna know!!!!
you pay them £2K and they make your car slower
We invited them along to a rolling road day, and they wanted £800 to cover traveling expenses + a night in a hotel!!!!
its a grey area mate, theres lots of reasons they can come up with to cover there arses
theres NO chance theyve built a genuine 200bhp 172
we know the work envolved, they dont do it
IIRC their car was tested by some mag, and had slower performance times than a std car!!!
