Few updates
Went to Santapod’s Runwhatyabrung with dad in a GTI 140
My slowest time was 17.5 and quickest was 17.1, my dads was running a bit rough and managed a 16.5. Will be interesting to see what it’s like after it’s stage 2 map
Just got Brembo discs and pads all round for £180...
Cheers bud! You local to Southend area at all?
Sorry I couldn’t play a bit more had a car full of family and sorry to disappoint it’s only a 1.2 turbo. 197 replica :(
Was it this 182? :tongueout:
Not so much a race as I had my mum, step dad and sister in the car, and as it’s only a 1.2 I wouldn’t even want to embarrass myself haha :tongueout:
Believe it was the A127
Already got the spacers just haven’t fit them as of yet, just got the spoiler on yesterday so didn’t have time to do them, when I do I’ll update. Thanks for the nice words though !
Finally, clio 197 rear bumper and diffuser are on.
It’s actually quiet a nice fit, no modifications required. The diffuser had to be cut slightly as it was dragging on the floor with no way of holding it up
Cup spoiler will be on in 1-2 weeks hopefully !
And yes the car goes into limp mode...
Right I had the car plugged in to a proper machine and I got the code - DF569 which is boost pressure sensor circuit, which is the MAP sensor if I'm correct? Since this I've turned the boost down to factory level of 8 psi and I haven't managed to get the light to come on yet. I've spoke to a few...
If I'm being completely honest my car went into limp mode on standard post but I had already brought a boost controller and was awaiting to turn up.
Car still goes into mode only when going up a hill in 5th, but it did that before I turned it up to 12psi
Seems to run pretty happy
Update - not much it happening due to funds, but I have bought a Clio 197 rear bumper with diffuser
Also fitted a manual boost controller and took it from 8psi to 12, its pretty quick now! Actually pulls in 5th!
Next would be either getting the RS stuff painted and fitted OR get a decat
took the car out just now for about 40 mins, didnt go into limp mode until 60mph... put injector cleaner as it was quick and cheap from Tesco in and limp mode would not come on, took it to 70mph up a hill in 5th and nothing...
I just went out in the car. Check all the spark plugs and they look ok, took all the coils off put them back. And sprayed all the connectors and the injectors with WD40, car hasn't gone into limp mode....
Will keep an eye on it over the next few days
