198 nm= ~146 ft lb So would be the torque figure
What sort of performance mods have you got or have you just uped the boost a little?
I wouldn't be too disheartened having the lowest figure most of the other cars probably weighed twice as much. Are there many 5 gtt's in your neck of the woods?
Sounds about right for a c1j without posh cam and huge turbo.
no internal engine mods m8 , t2/25 turbo, 145bhp im not dissapointed with it :).Quote:

the other cars were mainly focus ST`s and RS`s im never gonna get more bhp than them as most were pushing around 300. my mate took his seat (ibiza) Bocenegra which is a 1.4 turbo and pulled 190 :smokin:.
would be nice to get more than him next time.....
great to see it back the way it was intended! it's the only way to have em!!!!
:agree:, i went to a car club meet/rolling road day at the weekend and parked up with a focus rs on one side and a line of st`s on the other and every person that walked passed who looked at the cars all went over to mine passed the rs and took photos of it :).Quote:

also i bought some stickers for the rear ( renault 5 gtturbo ). i wasnt sure about them but now there on they look good im happy with them ,gives the car an identity and when i get my badges refurbed they will fit snug over the top ,

took the 5 in for its test yesterday as i pulled up outside i thought, brakes feel a soft , so got out looked at the compensator and fcuk me a split brake pipe above the rear beam, fluid dripping on the floor , ( thats twice this has happened :-( ,) anyway when it happened last time i bought a complete brake line kit so i allready had the pipe ,, took me an hour and a half to strip replace and bleed,, sweet.

#1 , Fuel tank breather pipe not in clip.
#2 , clip securing fuel filler neck to chassis missing.
#3 , Adjust wiper.
all these are new things that he never picked up a month ago .
Also advised that new brake lines need to be in proper clips and not cable ties , :ashamed:.
Wtf is this guy on?Quote:

Its for a BFG test, wich is like the German TUV test , i guess they are more strict than the MOT. :crap:Quote:

I didnt want to gob off to him as i need it to pass :cool: , playing it cool with the bellend. just kept my mouth shut tbh.
Pass ,, Nil Advisories , :) , Sweet. Roll On 2nd June
good times :-)
Fitted standard wipers the other day , single one on ebay.
Looks better imo and got rid of the clunking.
Also since ive fitted the new ignition barrel its fixed the click click when starting and the battery light does not come on when ive got to many elec things turned on at once. :).
gonna get a Pic up soon.
Been to get the tracking done today , The guy says i need to take the rear arches off as he cant get the tracking thing on the back wheels :crap:
He should be able to just use the laser alignment on the front wheels, it just makes getting the wheel straight a bit of trail and error test driving. Easy enough if you know what your doing(he shouldnt just take the wheel off and turn it)
I like the decal.... Oe looking but with a modern twist
:agree:, cheers im happy with them. One day i might come accros a perfect oe badge.Quote:

Can't wait for sangliers
So today ive had the carpet out and swapped it for a better one along with the under matting ,removed any rust and treated / painted the floor interior while i was there :)
Also underbody painted inside the rear arches whilst i had the wheels off,
Im sure these wheels will grow on me :cool:

I love your car dan, paintwork looks nice in the flesh, not stupidly tuned engine bay, standard -ish interior will look the nuts when done :)
Thanks Chris.Quote:
