Cool!!
But wait, what happened to the alloys??

 

[Kay]

guy Dan originally sold car to sold the alloys for £150 quid... ive got ones to go on... but cant find the right spigots cos the alloys have a dodgy centre bore size

 

[Nick]

Ok cool i was just wondering, if i remember correctly he did you a favor at donny that was the only thing i didnt like about his car but it is an absolute minter tho!!!! Gutted i didnt get the money in time to buy it myself

 

[Shaun Cook]

not bad for a 1.2 though...i think u should get some alloys like dan had on them..just return her to her original glory

One for the money Two for the show

Would the smaller wheels (14") give better figures than 17's? (not sure myself)

 

[Shaun Cook]

i think they will.. less weight and smaller diameter...means more spins anyone can feel the difference between bigger and smaller wheels.

One for the money Two for the show

 

[Andy]

Shaun, feeling the differnce due to the weight and physical grip of the wheels and the wheels affecting the power output are different things

i would have thought that i could be poissible, due to transmission strains etc, but it would probably be minimal

[wonderer]

thats a down grade in power!

 

[Shaun Cook]

thats a 1.2...they have i think 80bhp or 90 im not 100% sure. either way its more than standard

[Ash]

the torque figure looks pretty poney.

 

[Kay]

they 80 as standard, hence 80sx

the torque is well down on standard but i later found out that its because she was running with a missfire that turned out to be a terminal engine problem and has resulted in me having to do a swap this weekend!

 

[Wimmy]

Standard? Have you swapped ECU's then? The car was Angel Tuned before selling on

 

[Shaun Cook]

no its just an engine swap. think she will be keepign the ecu though

[stephen01]

this is an old thread befor the engine was swapped


Marea, why settle for less

 

[Lee]

how much to stick it on the roller?

 

[Kay]

she went on the rollers with the original engine and a remapped ECU. and came out with 94.

the new engine is going in this weekend, and ill be using the old ECU with the map on it, and hopefully be up on power instead of down!

 

[seb]

where you from Kay? watford is just down the road from me

 

[Kay]

Leicester for most of the year, when im at uni.
and sheffield for home

 

[Dan]

Sorry to hear bravobeastie is unwell, I'm glad that she's in your more than capable hands though Kay

Keep looking after her and making her look minty, I'll see you both at some shows during the year no doubt
