Well ive had no lights show up or warnings ( touchwood )

i think only time u get problems is if u go below a certain height or u damage a sensor/cable

Me n mate fitted them with not much problems just odd size tools that seem to be needed to undo everything.

That's great, thanks :thumbs: i really like the alloys on mine & i really like the multispokes like you have so if i do lower it i may even change the alloys too. Just to give it a slightly difrent look so far though i've only seen a few that suit the MiTo so will have to see. Your MiTo sounds pretty good too :thumbs:

 

[mrcypher]

No problem it makes some interesting noises , bit loud for most but i love it

 

[mrcypher]

Just had another dyno today since having sports cat n induction

it managed 191.8 bhp n 198.6 fblt (in normal again)

Had to take fuse out this time as it wouldnt disable anything, bloody car...

Seem to be losing some boost low down compared to last time but higher up range is ok, so may have a small boost leak as i was expeting better gains.

 

[wo0dy]

What sports cat do you have? Is it the ragazzon? Must be over 200hp in Dynamic..

 

[mrcypher]

No its a one from who made custom exhaust.

Checked over all pipes n cant find no loose or damaged hoses so could of been the Y piece they used to take the boost pressure

 

[mrcypher]

As i said a few more pictures of the mito Lowered ( 30mm eibachs ) now clean

just in need of spacers now which im having custom made, just waiting on them

 

[mrcypher]

Nice! Noticed much difference? Where did you buy the strut braces?

 

[mrcypher]

Feels much better on turn in and more planted through the bend

I couldnt find any on a cloverleaf so thought I would give it a try

they was off ebay, sellers username was strutbracer I think

Ok thanks. I take it the engine cover doesn't fit underneath?

 

[mrcypher]

It fits back over fine , it bolts up level to another bar

I just took a pic without as u cant see it when cover is back on

 

[midget4hire]

I cant quite make it out from the pics, do you have to drill to fit the upper brace? or does it have somewhere to mount already?

 

[mrcypher]

Yes u have to drill

This should clear it up , I forgot uo upload it

Theres 2 self tappers each side then we have drilled an extra hole n put a bolt through

 

[LJ_GQV]

Something else to add onto my to do list

:lol:

Looks really good though, if it makes a difrence to the handling then its even better :thumbs:

Had my QV on a dyno tonight. 193bhp! Just running a K&N induction kit and 99ron super fuel.

Great results, can we see the graph. Rollers can over read but even so 193hp is alot over the claimed 170hp.

Would like to see what mine still makes 5years on now!

 

[Mito85]

when i had mine on a RRD, the guy had to unplug the ABS behind the wheel as there is no mention of the abs fuse in the manual so we didnt know which was the right one.

This seemed to stop the cars TC kicking in (Stupid thing having the TC on in Dynamic anyway, why Alfa did this i dont know).

Wonder though was this running fully in Dynamic by him doing this or was it in Normal even if switched to D?

As someone mentioned in a previous post that if the fuse is out the car only runs in N.

 

[mitomatt]

Yep will post a graph tonight.

Yeah we had to pull fuse no. 40 from under the bonnet on my mito and the G's.
This meant my car wasn't running at 270nm torque that it would if it was in D mode.

A GQV pretty much did it's claimed 235bhp, but a 170bhp diesel G recorded 188bhp completely stock! Then he added a tuning box and it recorded 217bhp!
