Non-Sports In Here..

[Dan28]

^ Like how youve got a 1*2 lower grill in a non-sport bumper, did you do that yourself, looks pretty good to be honest!

Cheers pal and yeah i did it myself

 

[Dan28]

looked at this 3 times before noticing it wasnt a 1*2 front bumper. thats quality!

Cheers Mateey

 

[MatthewR]

Dan, that grill looks brilliant, any chance on a guide on how you did it?

 

[Knuckles]

The GT gets off the line much quicker even though it weighs over a 100kg's more and I had a extra passenger in the, but after about 50 the swift pulls the ground back in most likely from the VVT,

Doesn't feel as refined as the Clio also doesn't have many toys but there again the swift is a cheap car to buy in the first place, it's not a bad little car though for the money

Aah, is there much difference after 50?

ive always loved swift sports and I didn't realise the gts were so capable, to keep up/pull away quicker than them

Haven't done any rolling tests yet so not sure, but I disconnected the MAF sensor on the GT yesterday and it has seemed to pull harder for more of the rev range, btw the GT is diesel and mapped so it does very well to pull away/keep up, I estimate around 130bhp and 200lb/ft as it wiped the floor with a twingo 133 and also a skoda fabia VRS,

The GT is a brilliant car very inspiring in the corners where as the swift tends to want to step out (could be down to the rubber), also it's economical when your sensible 60+ mpg where as the swift get's half that, but they can be supercharged very easily but I know of a lad who has spent close to £12k (not including the car) on a swift to super charge it and various other mods and only gets around 190bhp which I can't justify lmao

Aah, i didnt realise yours was diesel. no contest then :rasp:

£12k for 60bhp!?!?! f**k me!

i had an acquaintance (sp?) with a swift sport... apparently when you turned the traction controll off the front and the rear let go and you could almost 4 wheel drift lol. fun

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

Haha I'll get my mate to try it, the wheel base is tiny on them so it will be hilarious

 

[Knuckles]

That could go very wrong lol

the lad i know has nankangs on... he rates them but people on here seem to think theyre poor... may have something to do with it

 

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

lol i hve nankangs on my car at the back, they are pritty bismal compared to my cheaper sport contact 2's up front

 

[RobertB]

This is a great thread for people like me who are just beginning to mod their car!

 

[Martin_172]

unless its a mild map i recon your probably pushing more than 200lbft, be interesting to see!

we had a side by side run against my mates old fabia vrs and my GT DCi which was standard and they were evenly matched from 0-80 we didnt try any higher.

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

ah well they are quite heavy skodas arent they ? i am keen to find out what it has actually got, i unplugged the maf and that has opened the rev band out even more but the diesel dust clouds are hilarious

 

[Martin_172]

lol yeah i always found it was much keener under 2k rpm when it was unplugged and the cloud in the cars headlights behind was awesome! used to put mine into limp mode every couple of weeks though!!! haha

 

[glenn_adam_doble]

well i didnt know that, how do you rectify it just plug it back in ?

 

[Martin_172]

yeah back in, take it a spin for a minute and it bursts back into life, leave it a week then unplug lol!

I like that too, Kep a keen eye out for it in Sheffield

 

[Chileno]

Dan28,

Just like those ppl here, loved the fitment of RS grills on a Ph2 bumper, how hard was that?

In Brazil we do not have the RS bodykit, so we're planing to buy only the grills to fit the Ph2 bumper.. never saw that before, now I'm happy to see you did that!

HOW-TO plxxxxxxxx

Cheers

[Dr HMS Derv Destroyer]

After a quick wash and polish today:

what the hell has happened to your front bumper ? lol tie wrap galore

 

[SteveyB.]

Punted it off in the snow, have a new one waiting to go on but by the time I had found a second hand one good enough and had it painted I ran out of time to fit it on as I'm. Now in the middle of my a level exams and need to concentrate on them. Car will get some tlc after them.

 

[Stephie_]

After a quick wash and polish today:

Why have you got a Renault sport badge on it?

 

[SteveyB.]

I had a little tap at the back which meant I needed a new bootlid, my mate was breaking a Clio and gave me the boot lid for free so obviously I took it and it came with the badge as it came off a 182. Been meaning to take it off for ages but just haven't got round to it

 

[mattybrown91]

mine on 16"ultraleeggera's lowered 45mm

 

[pedro1987]

The tire is 195 50??
