But that is the beauty of a well tuned turbo petrol car, you can rev it and you get the power delivered earlier;)

Evo mag said that the Corsa is 74 kgs lighter than the 197, and also that even though the clio has 192 bhp is doesn't always feel like it. Turbo cars deliver alot more torque lower down the rev range and as a result appear to feel faster in every day driving conditions. One thing I hate about my...

The bit on the top that looks like a big sausage, is a chargecooler and helps to keep the inlet temps down. Mike

Found this via pistonheads website link, what do you think. Cheers Mike

Looks like they've got 5 bags of sand in the boot, the rear suspension is very low. Unless ford are bringing out a focus with a boot full of ICE.

More importantly I think were missing a point here. A 182 costs about £12500 new a BMW 120d costs at least £20000 before you start adding goodies, they are not comparable. i have no doubt that the torque figure is fantastic and would certainly provide better in gear times than a 182, but a RWD...

Yeah that was me, just been circuit training. Cheers Mike

Nice young girl, gave me a nice smile as she wizzed passed in the opposite direction, didn't get the reg. Nice car though. Mike

Thought this might be of use to some of us, can't find a price on their site which probably means its expensive. http://www.incartec.co.uk/Resources/new29_800.pdf Cheers Mike

Ends soon and is clogging up my garage.

As per the title really, this came off my valver before I got rid of it. Looks so much better than the bus steering wheel that comes with a late spec valver. I am assuming that it will also fit other phase 2 clios...

I retract my statement " I'm interested too". For a £129 it would be cheaper to buy a remote control unit for your headunit (ifs its not already supplied with your headunit) and hardwire it into to the stalk controls. I did this to my valver about 6 years ago and it worked a treat and cost me...

Yeah, I'm interested too. Mike

After two emails and four phone calls to blackspot about the above problem, someone eventually pointed me in the right direction (it only took them 10 days). This fault is caused by a software problem and you need to download a firmware update to the unit via your computer. This instantly solved...

This is ironic, I read this thread last week and on Friday my unit goes bang as well exactly the same fault. Email sent to blckspot but no response yet. Mike

When you guys say that you have hard wired the road angel in how did you reduce the voltage from 12v to 5v. If you put a volt meter on the lead coming out of the supplied fag lighter adapter it only gives 5v. Cheers Mike

I reckon that this is a good unit for the money and some of it is touch screen stuff, if you include the slider at the bottom. http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=4109&cadid=4164fc2882c6ddb2f9280e685a5febe6 Mike

One point that appears to have been overlooked on the original test was the badly sited air filter arrangement. If the air filter was, as stated, located behind the radiator, the warmer and therefore less dense air would result in a lower power figure on the first run, possibly explaining the...

Had my 182 a week and it reminds me alot of my valver. When you close the door they make the same sound, the rear wiper on both cars doesn't wipe all of the screen, they both like to be revved they both have huge steering wheels, they both handle fairly well and they both cost a lot to service...
