He's never let me drive it!

He's never let me drive it!

Because Ben asked me to

Bit of 3 wheel action from a recent track day

Rear antiroll bar required

Some footage from Woodbridge on Saturday, ran an average 2:14 a lap in the end

 

That mudflap scrape! At least they've been shortened for next time

The picture says it all.

I didn't buy it

Did a 0 - 60 run using a gps app

Ignore the fact I had next to no fuel, I still class sub 10 seconds a win

Looking good David...  :clap:

 

I'm finally back from my 'Summer working touring' in the US and you have done loads.

 

I have a pile of parts to fit, but first the car is booked in for warranty work, and the bad weather is on its way, oh well, must update my thread.

 

Good job though, thats impressive.

Update -

Oil Temp sensor wired up and working, obviously the car hasn't got one from factory with it being a City car but it's a nice thing to have so you can keep an eye on things, it seems to stick at 80 - 90 once it's all got up to temperature, will be keen to see what happens on track

Thanks to Updown for his electrical knowledge

Hey hyphons, love your citigo, do you still have the original alloys? Would you sell them?

I do indeed, they're 4x100 though? I may sell in the future but for the moment they're my winters, the respray job on them is poor too, has some runs in the paint and a couple of wheels are kerbed

Yeah that's exactly what I'm after. If you want to sell any time soon please let me know. Need a set of citigo wheels

Will do

Some dyno results, wasn't too sure on whether to post these or not, I wasn't overly happy with the increase over last year (given others have claimed to get 85+ although I haven't seen evidence of this myself, but that's not to say it's not true)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some nerd stats for you if you wish to read - 

 

 

 

 

 

Last year's results -

 

 

 

 

 

Max Torque (fFt Lb)  - 96 (130 nm) @ 2940 - 3030 RPM

 

 

Max Power (HP) - 77.8 (58.0 kw) @ 5090 - 5370 RPM

 

 

 

 

 

This years results -

 

 

 

 

 

Max Torque (fFt Lb)  - 96 (130 nm) @ 3680 RPM

 

 

Max Power (HP) - 81.9 (61.0 kw) @ 5000 - 5500 RPM

 

 

 

 

 

Differences (last year vs. this) -

 

 

 

 

 

Torque (fFt Lb) - NIL 

 

 

Power (HP) - 4.1 (3 kw)

 

 

 

 

 

Not huge differences over all, the remap has done something at least, given max hp kicks in sooner and continues for longer, with the dyno results to hand, I'll probably go for a 0 - 60 run at some point using a GPS app to try and keep it accurate as the speedometer's are usually 5 mph out. It's useful to have the graph as it let's me know that anything over 5300 is really just noise, so optimum gear changes will be around 5000 - 5500 rpm.

 

2017 Edit - Something funky went on with the forum, so I'm assuming there was photos attached to this, but they have all since disappeared, at some point I'll add these back in as and when I find them!

Hmm, with what you have done, I'd be questioning the original one rather than the new one. Was the first one done when stock?

That it was, but after yesterday I don't care about the figures, this car is so bloody fun!

Absolutely amazing little vehicle.

Nice to see your thread is still going along nicely dave keep up the citification haha (Citigo modification)

Couple of shots from Brands Hatch on Monday none of me sliding about unfortunately though.

In college today so whilst I had half an hour free I stripped the car down a bit whilst we had some clear weather, I'm moving the intake up so I can:

A. Have 2 fog lights as the 1 doesn't do anything

B. Be able to drive through flood water without flooding my engine as we've had mega bad weather down south recently

Whilst doing this I found a split in the intake hose..

May be a source for the low hp figures on the rolling road as this split effectively acts as a resonance chamber drawing air out of the intake away from the filter box

I did manage to snap my indicator bulb, luckily I have spares at home and a spare holder if I can't get the remains out

So a bit of a mad dash to get this all finished as I had limited time between lessons, but, the intake is now behind the grille again with the split fixed and the fog light is back ready for any wintery fog we might have
