Hi everyone, i am this numpty: (signed up properly to supppot your cause)
Btw i will start of by saying i am not the silly bullsh!ting chav you all think i am. Here's my stupidly bazzed up car:
Now heres how it is:
I know i dont have a stupidly fast car i never say it is, i just say it how it is. I drive proper cars at work all the time, these make a 172 / 182 look like mopeds so i know fast and mine aint ok.
As im sure any of you know with a renault the power you have as standard is down to the luck of the draw due to s**t french tolernaces. (I.e maxi meggys reportss of 150bhp F7R's being as low as 130bhp and some over 160bhp.)
A guy on out club had a bog standard 1.6 RR'd and it came back as 97bhp at the wheels. That must be about 120bhp at the crank.
When i got my car Dec 04 (2001 25k on the clocks), i had a major 36k service and uprated all consumable parts i could.
I then had it RR'd and got 119bhp at the crank (i know the service didnt give me 9bhp over stock, i reckon my cars was probably 116bhp-117bhp stock)
Since then i have turned the EGR off,
Modified the FVR system to maintain an open system while under power (hence second air and fuel intake),
Fitted a k-tec ramcharger (second intake in the bumper and a decent filter):
Have had about 10 remaps lol, i can now do this myself, limiter is upto 7200rpm, hence 60 in second easy and the power curve is relativly flat after 5k upto 7k which is all good,
My car is the most over serviced car you will ever know which helps more than mods, it has new 0w 40 every 2k, iridium plugs, all new wheel bearings etc etc
This is the main reason my car is good, i only have a 24% transmission loss. There no point have loads of power at the crank if none gets to the road. Other meggy have come in 35-40%. Here are my dyno results as of sep 04:
134bhp @ 5955rpm
101bhp @ wheels
162nm @ 5240rpm
34.4bhp drag power
Maximum reached rpm 7160rpm
ambient air temp = 28.c
intake air temp = 31.c
24% loss
The last bit i want to clear up is the 172 race, ive never said i could beat one. Here is the quote of what i said and this is exactly how it happened. Be his car shagged / him a crap driver, who knows but this is what happened:
Well I had a little drag race with a certain 172 / 182 this morning on the way in.
On my journey in there is this nice set of traffic lights with two lanes that without warning merges into 1 lane.
Anyways it like 6.00am so dead quite, im at the lights in the left lane, this 172 / 182 pulls up beside me in the other lane and starts revving his car and moving about back and forth with the clutch like.
Anyways we burn off when they go green and he gets a well **** start (nice car, cant drive :roll: ) and cannot make up enough room to get in front of me before it goes to 1 lane.
He is now not a happy bunny and is up my arse all the way until we get to the roundabout to get onto dual carriageway.
We both hit the roundabout, me in the slow lane and him diving to the inside of the roundabout to be in the fast lane on exit, we both are bloody having it and to be honest I was shocked I was not creamed. I know my ¼ mile trap speed and I went a bit over that so this single bit of dual carriageway is just over ¼ id say, he only managed to get about 20 feet in front over that distance.
I’d still have one mind
Feel free to ask me anything etc, also i have a vid of a 1.6 16v with a shity 57i kit and a back box coming your way. Its clear for all to see the 0-60 time
