    Joe's LY Clio 200

    Another visit up to Andy at Engine Dynamics today to re-remap my 200. I had fitted a decat pipe so wanted it smoothed out again while adding some overrun pops and bangs. The bangs only happen past 4500rpm on decel which I am very happy about as the neighbours can't even tell the difference...

    Joe's LY Clio 200

    After I finished work last night I decided to see what my idle noise was with an app. Not sure how accurate it is, but it came in between 77-79 decibels from about a meter away, not sure if that is extremely loud with regards to other peoples clio's and under track day regulations. I have also...

    Nice mid-cleaning photo. Used some porsche insect remover from the cleaning kit I got for Christmas, not sure how its meant to work but it did a terrible job of loosening up the graveyard I had on the front of my car from a recent trip down south with the Mrs.

    Did it ever flame? Very asbo but just a cool effect ;)

    Joe's LY Clio 200

    Ah that's interesting. Cheers gents. I'm giving the filthy b*tch a wash tomorrow before work as she is disgusting right now so will do a noise test then. Between 0-3000rpm there is no real noise difference, but after that, jesus, it is scary loud, am honestly over the moon! Not yet no! Only had...

    Joe's LY Clio 200

    I will get a friend to record some fly-bys and me hooning it through a local tunnel soon, and get some videos of it banging after the 11th. I'm excited to see if it will flame when hot too. I shall see what the decibel reader says at 4000rpm and update it here. Is that how they record it at a...

    Okay so the decat pipe has been fitted. It is absolutely bonkers. I thought having a decat mani and a non-res backbox was loud but this is ridiculous! Shame the guy fitting it didn't take any photos of it fitted underneath even though I asked but all well. It gurgles and farts a little more than...

    Glacier White 200 Cup

    Beautiful. Great effort with the clean. My GW has lots of swirls too, are they more visible on a lighter coloured car?

    Springs (replacements needed)

    I have 30mm drop H&R springs and can confirm they are very bouncy on road. I've heard good things about eibach.

    I have not considered it no. I'd rather stick to what has been proven to work. Andy had great reviews before I booked my first map in so I knew the car was in safe hands.

    Joe's LY Clio 200

    My commute is only 2 miles so nothing horrendous, Mrs is 4 miles away too so I rarely do long distance. Thank you Iain. It will not be a specific bang map, like the crackle one @ ktec. Andy at Engine Dynamics is going to retune my original map to suit the decat, & then will tweak it slightly to...

    @suj @Beany @Addison Haven't been active recently, sorry. The cons massively outweigh the pros. I am not going to lie but, as Beany said, I want dem pops and bangs innit! :oops: I've come to the decision I'll just swap the cat in and out for every MOT. If I have a specific overrun bang map...

    Joe's LY Clio 200

    Not sure if I'm being stupid but a noise test? At a track day? They have restrictions on noise even though most cars there will have aftermarket exhausts? She can already! I am worried about complaints from neighbours however. Its a small private road, nothing too fancy, so most are elderly...
