Finally ditched the knn.....



  LY 200
......Well after 4 months of owning the 182 i finally got round to ditching the open knn the car come with.

I decided against going for the standard route and instead picked up a BMC to replace it. Well all i can say is after fitting it yesterday im so glad i did it and cant believe iv gone so long with that knn on the car.

Although its obviously not as loud and the kick at 5k doesnt seem as much (probably because of the noise) the car now moves up the revs so much more smooth and freely.....I personally think its noticeably quicker too!!! :approve: Was out late last night after a trek to the cinema and had a fairly lage stretch of a road with no cars in site so i opened her up and there was no stalling to a fairly highspeed whatsoever!!!

Iv never believed that the open ik's affect the performance of a car until now but it seems they do.....FACT. Cant believe i was stupid enough to go all through valver/hybrid ownership with an open ik on now tbh.......They should be banned from being sold!!! Lol

Lol, probs mate his is an 06.......Bet he wernt too pleased with that though!!!

I had a few tussles a few weeks back from rolling first but was in slight mist so wernt too happy takin it to the higher speeds that he was willing to go, nevertheless didnt have a problem pulling from the start although he is usually more willing to thrash the granny out of the brakes than most which gives him more of a chance.........For what it is though it isnt a slow car!!!
