56mph!!? You must have the patience of a saint!!
My head would explode if I drove that slow;)
I drive at 80mph everywhere my on the Motorway so in relation
I guess im getting really good fuel economy:cool:
45mpg!! the best I manage is 40mpg on the motorway taking it easy,
but I do boot it everywhere else.
The only thing with a NA car is selecting the right gear for the corner,
once you've had your cambelt done you'll be down shifting into 4-5k rpm
and sh!tting yourself at how quick it pulls out...
I know what you mean, I always drove German TDIs and I thought
they were quick, im now fully converted to petrol rockets!
Ive had mine over 2 years now and it still makes me smile everyday.
Does the back bounce around when cornering on bumpy roads?
Mine did this when I first got it, 2 knackered shocks on the back,
replaced and all was fine.
My car doesn't get skittish until 120mph, slightest bump and its
a bit of a handfull, stable up till that point though and i'm running...
The only thing I would worry about on a cup is no ABS,
its saved my172ff a few times.
Also i'm not sure how much your gonna like any 172 compared to your Golf,
I had a GT TDI and in traffic jams and long journeys I miss the comfort and
goddies like cruise control. Clios are a bit basic.
If...
F*cking headcase!
That kind of driving must be normal in Turkey,
hardly anyone beeped at him.
If you posted a vid like that from this country the old bill would
lock you up and through away the key!
Love the lane markings - now you see them, now you don't!
MENTAL!!
You drove past me on the Henley Rd at 11am,
I was pulling out of Dame Agnes Grove, Bell Green
in my dirty Iceburg 172.
This is the second time ive spotted you in the same place
you have "ClioCup" stickers on your side skirts.
Car was looking well clean, puts mine to shame!
When I start the car up the SERV & ABS lights flash once,
this is after all the warning lights have gone out.
I'm thinking there's an old fault code logged somewhere but my RSTuner
only reads the ECU.
Is there a way of reading the ABS unit?
Does it store fault codes aswell?
Whenever I get grease or crap on my windsreen I use
white vinegar on it and the wiper blades and that always
works for me.
Stinks for a bit but that soon goes away.
I use turtle wax shampoo when washing my car and that includes
the windsreen, never had a problem.
The rear one goes under the main one, there should be a metal bracket with 2 holes that it slots into.
It doesn't attach to anything like the main one does.
Maybe i'm not using the right words, I know it probably hasn't gone
back to standard but it certainly feels like it.
We all know when our cars dont feel right, I got use to the new map
so I really notice any drop in power now.
It just strange that when I refresh the ECU it sorts the porblem...
You could be right, all I know is what I can feel,
when its working properly it pulls from 2k right through the rev range,
when its not working nothing really happens till 4K.
It feels like it did before it was remapped.
