I haven't driven the car much since fitting the gan, and thought it didn't do anything. Forgot about it, but started thinking acceleration was a bit better. Yesterday, realised I was keeping up or pulling away from other cars driven fast, more easily. Still not sure if its the gan. Will get an...

Thank you, I was. I had the gan piggy back ecu fitted that you mentioned. I didn't think it made much difference. I haven't driven it much. However, recently I've felt the car is faster, yesterday, I kept up with an audi without thinking, and didn't realise I was doing 100mph on the clock. I...

The logical part says a small increase, but the hopefull part keeps nagging away.

Thanks, thats what I was expecting generally. However, the people that have had the cobra stainless muffler fitted to their 160s, have got an extra 10bhp, with an airflow upgrade. The 160sr and engine was a bit of an after thought, not sure if its optimised for performance. Will get it done...

Alright. Has anyone had a sports exhaust back to the catalytic convertor fitted, and what power gains did it provide. Have been quoted £550 for a stainless cat back. New muffler and mid box, and 2.25 inch pipes, as apposed to standard 1.75. Have been told to expect an extra 20 bhp. Looking at...

Looks low enough for me. Lovely colour. Noticed mine drove better after a few weeks. Looks great. You could try fitting 5mm or 10mm wheel spacers to fill it out. As long as they're hubcentric, and not off ebay, no safety issues. I changed wheels. Lower offset means they stick out an extra 7mm...

You had it lowered yet, dying to find out what it looks/drives like.

Alright. You could try soaking them in vinegar, or in a rust eater solution, see what they come out like. You could use a tooth brush dipped in something like autosol to buff them?

Yes, I know that, you plank.

Let's hope its not snake oil. ?

Ha ha, couldnt resist it, orderred the German one. Fingers crossed.

Mine had sluggish acceleration, but did 3 petrol cleaner treatments, one after the other. Sorted sluggish acceleration, and mpg reading has increased by 3.

Thats interesting. Only other remap or piggy back ecu I was aware of is a place in Italy or Greece, where they offer a remap i think for about €400. Its feasible, just not commercially viable. However, if you have a product and software that can be easily tailored to any car, then financially...

Sorry, I meant there was a remap for clio chic. I was looking at the clio, as I thought that was the chic you had bought. Was horrified at the thought. Its 100kg heavier, and was trying to find some positives for the clio chic ?. Getting a bespoke muffler and mid section, as no aftermarket...

Looked up a micra chic, should look beautiful lowered in that colour.

Agh, sorry, thought you meant a renault clio chic. Thought what is he doing?Yes, it will look great. Was lost for words initially. Blood hate renaults.

Had a quick look, think there might be an ecu remap available for 1.2. Worth looking into, if its cheap/worthwhile. Think generally doesn't make much difference to a non turbo small car. Every little helps though. Found a you tube clip of a k11 nut, who claimed to have got loads more power from...

Getting exhaust done next. Then having head ported and gas flowed. 1.6 has tonnes of torque, but reckon it could do better with getting air in and out quicker, a bit more peaky.

still can't believe you sold your 1.4 sr. Dad had a 1.4 sve when they first came out. That's what gave me the micra infatuation. So light and nimble, and seemed fast.

You will like the b8s. Makes mine ride like a normal car, but lower. You can sense the wheels going up and down over pot hole, but its cushioned, so no noticeable bumps. When i first did suspension change, mechanic thought I was mental. I'd paid 1200 for all new suspension, and it drove like a...
