I don't think we (well, I aleast) aren't talking about day to day economy because that depends on quite a few facotrs. Its more about checking if the car is running/fuelling properly. I for example have noticed a sudden dip of 6-7mpg, and my emissions light still isn't on after about 7 weeks...

Danny, are the only visible symptoms for faulty thermostat, the coolant temp guage?

Mine is on slow full lock, feels like the wheels are ready to disconnect.

Normal. Though I think my ball joints are on the way out, sometimes get a clunk.

£1k for the full system! Faaaack!

I used to get 42 on motorway easily, 45max at 50mph ish. On normal driving to work and back I would average 34mpg. Recently I cant get above 32 :(

^ wrong thread quoted there danny

Want one! Don't know if I have the nerve to wear it in public though

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals

Same story with me. New lambda needed soon I think. I don't think its because of the decat, in some cases mpg can increase, and mine was fine for a couple of weeks.. then it just plummitted all of a sudden. Still no emission warning light though..

Can't wait. :D

How does the insurance company feel?

Thanks Tom. Awaiting speicifc requirements reply. Btw, the deposit has jumped from £150 to £200?

De-catted with the rear of the car stripped out, its still fine for daily use in my eyes. The only time it gets a bit much is at about 4krpm, booms a bit. Whiteline - awesome.

I know I know, thats why I put in the little disclaimer about accuracy lol. Still, It does seem to pull a little bit better and yes, my old was was blowing slightly at the time.

We seem to be going round in circles here. I think we can agree that the generic advice for any car is new rubber on the rears, but at the end of the day it comes down to personal preference and how you feel comfortable controlling the car. Done.

Sure about that? The group buy is closed.

Bloody hell, hes a big fella. Good voice though.

Thought I'd post here as well as CS because it seems a lot of Trophy owners have this system. NB: the first graph is power, the second is torque. A couple of months ago after being fed up of the standard tail pipes, no noise, and a general sense of being slightly resitricted at higher revs...

^Yup. I'm currently driving a BMW 120d M-Sport as a courtesy car. Now THATS a whole different story, a tail happy, fun story :)

Fiiinally clocked on. I knew I knew it!

I think its he other way around.. 200 with a 197 front end conversion

My gf doesn't know yet.. I'm hoping she won't notice :P

190ish if your lucky I reckon. Clios are pretty hard to get more power out of without going down the itb/fi route..

I'm 21. PIcked the car up a few days before my birthday. Had the car about 10 months now :)

Tom, I'm pretty interested in this (especially since you mentioned the customised plaque lol). The timing is key for me.. Mid april is when I'd have the money.. Is that too far away to be considered as part of the group buy?

Has anyone ever weighed the total of rear bench, backrest, and isofix bar? I go without most of the time..

Is that with interior etc still in it?

Re: drop tester How does this differ from off and idle battery volatge testing using a multimeter? (genuinley curious)

Never tried,. from what I have read on CS, HC tend to get the nod..
