Lambchop With A Renault Axis Here...

[WAGON_BOY]

i honestly wouldnt though, it would ruin the look of the axis, imo anyway..

it could well ruin it but i think the extra air flow will be worth it................. any other options, maybe some round ones HAHA

[Sunkist]

also i think the axis has more than enough air flow with the double sized grill and front bar opening. dont ruin it man pleaaassee

[WAGON_BOY]

yeah the grill is bigger but the lower section isnt all that big..........

the yellow section is open for air flow but the intercooler is in the red section so i thought i'd pop in the vents where the black section is for even more airflow...........

Get a bigger intercooler?

[WAGON_BOY]

Get a bigger intercooler?

yeah im planning on getting the HDi unit soooooon

[Sunkist]

Yeh I'm with Ironpaw with the bigger unit I think you'll fond u may not need the vents I sent u a pm regarding the calipers

[WAGON_BOY]

i went and bought a B&M trans-cooler (70264) this morning and fitted it already

ive done it the easiest way possible for now untill i do the intercooler cos i'll probly have to move it then.

Yep you will have to.

But you can always use the reo for the lower mounts and then drill a hole (or use an existing one) for the top mounts.

Nice looking cooler though

just a quick one about tires and what i should be running.............

currently i have 245/40/18's which is the correct size acording to the AXIS broucher that says they come with 225/45/18's so that means i should run a 245/30/20........... according to my TOMTOM this is 10% out at 110 it says im doing 100.

so then in the owners manual it says to run a 225/55/18 which is the size compairable to what the normal M35's run so that means i need a 245/40/20 and then hopefully my speedo will be correct acording to the TOMTOM????????

cheers guys i just dont know which tyre i should be basing it off to get my speedo correct without finding out the hard way with a speeding ticket!!!

What size rims and what brand tyre did you go with?

[WAGON_BOY]

245/30/20 Nexen N3000's.............. dont really know how good they are but i'll soon find out i was told they should be better than the federal 595's i had on there but not as soft as a Yoki or a P-zero.

"Ultra High Performance Driving

• Directional wide aqua groove design
• Arrow center rib design-High speed driving performance
• Shoulder design-Improved cornering stability
• Aggressive type lateral grooves-Resists hydroplaning

[slippylotion]

I'm looking at a nexen n1000, it's only a 280 treadware though. So I'm worked they won't last that long. In a 245/45-18 they are $170 fitted.

Big thanks to Craig, Andy for putting in the shift kit and also Ian for the advice tonight

and the trans-cooler is working too

makes a difference thats for sure, full throttle shifts are great but the cruising shifts are a bit harsh IMO.

[zei20l]

remind me next week to get the surround out for you
