Matt from TDF Tuning. Genius.

[IceBerg182]

Had a session with Matt this morning down in the wilds of Cambridgeshire. This guy is sound as a pound and a complete EXPERT on Renaultsport, engine management systems and motorsport engineering in general.

Thanks to Matt for getting my car absolutely flying. Cant wait for Blyton this Saturday now :approve:

Before: 176.1 and 158.3

Impressive smoothness to the after graph, and good extension of the rev range, what other mods do you have?

 

[Fred@BTM]

that's got a good chunk of torques

 

[IceBerg182]

Thanks for the comments, your only down the road from me then (i'm in Hinckley).

Home made 2.5in straight thru exhaust, no silencers or anything. Standard paper air cleaner with the piss flaps in the inlet tract removed. Just done a little service including a thermostat and a set of ngk spark plugs.

It feels twice as punchy between 5 and 7k now, did feel a bit flat before.

Originally Melton Mowbray, now out towards the nottinghamshire/Linclonshire border!

Wow, that is all the more impressive then, looks like I'll be heading to TDF at some point!

He's pretty good isn't he :star: I would recommend him all day long!

That is a really good graph considering the slight mods you have,nice bit of low down torque too must drive really nice.

That must be louder than hell!!! I've got a 2.25" group n exhaust with sports cat and rear silencer and it's deafening!

Right up the other end then, nice driving roads out round Old Dalby and Asfordby as I recall


Well worth it if your car is healthy and you just want that bit more crispness to the power delivery.

Its made a lot more difference than I thought, initially just wanted to make sure the fueling was okay after I pissed about with the exhaust, but went away more than impressed. Drives nice now, just needs some coilies

It is quite loud. When I said no silencers I meant to say just from the manifold back is just straight pipe, it does have the back boxes though.

Got a trackday on Saturday so its gotta pass the noise regs. Its definitely starting to quieten down a bit since its sooted up

Very good mate yeah, I saw some pretty special looking machines in the shop there. Wonderful touring car thing on a trailer in the car park and a very tidy mk1 on the ramp inside.

I used to live just off Asfordby road actually, biker heaven on a Sunday! Some good twisties in all directions from Melton, heading south to Market Harborough on the Tilton on the Hill road one of the best!

Many happy memories of hooning my old works transit van down there at 80-90 all the way:race:

Looks a healthy engine mate.

Oh and your username is "impossible" unless you have had a fully re-spray lol

b****cks, should have put Titanium182 instead really, I was very new to the "scene" then and I just assumed they were the same colour.

 

[Christopher]

I'm thinking of paying him a visit when I get the 200. Some more guts mid-range wouldn't hurt at all.

You can change it yourself mate. Go to User Control Panel and put your new username in.

Very jealous. Nicest hatchback ever made by a LONG way. There was a white 59 plate for 10.4k in Renault Leicester for ages, test drove it a couple of months back and was more than impressed. Little bit gutless low down but very grunty up the top end. Watching a couple go round Donington at the test day there yesterday, gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous cars.

Wont let me change the username, says I dont have permission. Would love nothing more than to pay my membership but I wont use paypall. Can I send a 10 pound note in the post or somthing like that?

 

[Christopher]

Sorry mate, I didn't see that you weren't a member.

Send a PM to Brian. I'm sure he'll sort something for you.

 

[SBV116]

^ WTF? you ordered a 200? thought you were a ricer boy?!

 

[Christopher]

New car FTW.

Joanne couldn't get insured on a DC5 and that was the only other car I fancied really.

Drove a few 200's and was smitten. Will be here in May.
