Had the stainless cat back fitted, and the gan box. Sounds great, understated sports sound. Wasn't convinced made much difference to performance. However, I don't push it, as find eibach springs too harsh. Getting then replaced with old 160sr springs on Thurs. The bilstein b8s are staying, as...

Perhaps I should take manifold and cats off to clean?

Thanks, it doesn't mention 1.6, didn't fancy taking a chance. Had cat back done. Nice sound, not too loud. Quicker acceleration, not tried top end. Mpg gone from 40 best average, to 46? Always had impression exhaust was too small/clogged up. Possible original exhaust.

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...
