has your idle sorted itself mate? whats you mpg like now? i have 165 and have been in a few 185 cars now and i didnt realy notice much different low down either, just keep saying to myself dont do it your cars fine, im abit worried something might go wrong later on down the line or i wont like it and will want to go back! but on the other hand 185 bhp and a v.fast 0-100 time! and the pops and bangs! might have to be done!



Well, yes and no!! I've learnt to give it slightly more gas when pulling away from a stationary position/reversing. Dave Moore at MT said it's the way these cams operate. However, I serviced it last week and feels better. You still need to give it slightly more gas than the 165 though.

I understand the position you're in because, I was thinking exactly the same about upgrading to the 185 kit. I just decided to do it and knew I could go back if I wanted to. MT gave me the original cams back, just incase you have any doubts.

Glad you've witnessd there isn't much loss low down as a lot of 165 owners think there's a big difference.

Others say the kit isn't made for the normal roads. Again, I disagree because the cams don't kick in till later on therefore, fuel consumption is slightly better round town.

To get the most out of this kit you can rev it high obviously within the speed limits. The beauty is that when you hit 4500rpm, it picks up speed very quickly (as the 0-100 figures suggest). This is great, I love it!!

Hope this helps you mate
