And fixed it so that the 200 won...
Anyway, wheels are done:
and had it on the rollers at the weekend:
176bhp & 161lbft torque, Im happy with those figures as they normally put up around 165bhp standard, not sure about the torque.
Coilovers are on order as the shocks are screwed I think and then the plans are for an exhaust, induction and remap and probably leave it at that!
white wheels! how common

External temperature sensor that shows up on the dash, was reading 34 degrees, not -34 and it had been parked up with the sun shining on the rear bumper where the sensor is located.
Torque does look a bit lumpy but the power seems smooth enough though, will see what people have got to say on cliosport.
That with no mods?
My graph looks like this if it helps

Totally standard as far as i am aware! Is that unusual???
A bit on the high side i would say tbh.. but who knows..
Not really an accurate way of judging power though as everyone knows (so many factors can chnage the reading)
Important thing is how the car drives though!

Right then, time for a bit of an update on this!
Ive now lowered it on vmaxx coilovers, got a rather large rake angle to the front going on atm
Ive also flashed the ECU using RSTuner software that has smoothed out the idle from cold and made the car run alot smoother, its also raised the rev limiter to 7500rpm.
Have sprayed the 2.0 badges on the sides white, just got to do the lettering on them blue and laquer them before refitting!
Oh yeah and Ive replaced the front indicator bulbs with ones that appear blue. Not too sure about them yet but they look better than the orange ones!
Not going to do a lot more to it tbh, possibly an exhaust and induction but if it aint broke, why fix it, plus its all so bloody expensive for parts (tyres are £100 a corner, supersprint backbox is £270!)
Will get some pics up soon.
