330 or there abouts = £40 super unleaded

hello :)

I put a de-cat and exhaust on mine. The difference in power and feel was only slight, but the noise is almost unbearable. Sometimes it makes me chuckle, sometimes cringe in embarassment! Getting a bit old for such a "barry" motor.

Mines noticabily quicker with the de-cat on but ive lost a little top end. If you do get one i recommend that you upgrade you stereo. Youll need it to mask out the droning on long journeys

Ouch. Thats something that wont happen then. My car aint worth much more than that!

Just a random thought but how much does this cost these days? My clio has so many little chips and scratches that I can be arsed to polish it. Its depressing. It looks alright from a distance but when you get up close it looks worse than when it was dirty. So I reckon a full respray would...

Anyway, a young chap with an Elise turned up after me and his read at 88 @ the wheels. Using Eddes calculations that works out at 106.8. Surely the road must be reading a bit low then?

Surely if matey says its about 30% then its about 30%. Its his rolling road and thats what he does for a living.

Simon (the geeza doing the rolling road thing) said that you lose about 30% on the transmission on the road. So he seemed to think that it would be around the 120bhp mark. I just wanted a more accurate figure

Anyone know what power at the fly would be?

Anyone?

Option 1 with a touch of option 3 Id say

Thats the thing. I dont want to change the engine. Its run pretty sweet, just not quick enough. Can you not get conversions that change the bottom end or soemthing like that?

Often on this discussion forum I read about valvers with 2.0 litre conversions. My Clio is an 1.8 8v. Is there anyone on here who has had a 2.0 litre (8v) conversion done to their RSi?

Bonjour

MDF + sealant = box ;)

Dont do it! It starts with the mud flaps and before you know it youll have a beaded seat cover and driving gloves :sick:

How much just for the amp?

Only approimations, but I dunno really. Maybe geared slightly shorter to get there quicker or something. Im sure 4th and 5th would produce more speed than yours. Ill have a look next time the road doesnt put a corner in the way :)

1995 1.8 8V 5 SPEED 1ST - 30mph 2ND - 50mph 3RD - 80mph 4TH - Too scared to look down!

definitely not the one I owned

That would probably be why I ran out road:)

There is nothing reliable about the Renault 5 Turbo lump

Essex. 1.8 8v 120ish with about 500rpm til the limiter (run out of road)

Sounds interesting. Where can I get one and for how much?

You can get 15" alloys with tyres for next to nothing these days. I paid £300 for mine with part worn tyres. Have a look at the shops on ebay. Once you stick them on I guarantee that youll want to lower it though

Check all the electrics mate. Sunroof, Windows and Heaters theyre all a bit prone to doing weird and not-so-wonderful things (if mines anything to go by anyway)

Shadow chrome wheels would look better i reckon

Quote: i dont want mild steel as they rot quicker than stainless True, but it all depends on how long your going to keep the car for

Ive got an Ashley backbox on mine. Sounds nice and looks good. It is only mild steel though but this makes it quite cheap compared to other exhausts. www.ashleycompetitionexhausts.com
