Better than yours. C*nt.

obviously havent got an RS clio then?
Clio 172 mk2
Look at chris' car, eh jon
exactly, 197bhp with basic breathing mods and a remap, not far off at all.
This is the real truth and that minus the hassle involved of getting it just right ect.
Dont waist your money.
it's also the advice of someone that has no fookin' clue what they are talking about... like most on this site. where does the £3k figure come from? It's half that, less if you fit the parts yourself. Also a cam and ECU remap will not have any issues as it's too basic to really go wrong, unless you're really unlucky (or the parts are from Kent!). So thank you for this invaluable information :clown:
Is it?? im speaking from experience, the experience it cost me to get to 200 bhp with all the hassle of getting the car spot on along the way. Its taken over a year to get it running right.
''IMO'' it is a waist of money. 3k for arguments sake can buy you a car that will piss on any
172 Clio!!
Rough guess of the cost of a pretty much ''guaranteed'' 200bhp Clio
Headwork 600
Cams 600
Inlet work 150
remap 300
exhaust 330
decat 150
182 manifold 200
Labour costs plus travelling expenses plus the replacment of unsatisfactory parts a easy 600

The thing is no rolling road is 100% accurate, "power runs" on a rolling road day are pointless
"ohh my car has 190bhp" erm no it doesn't, that what the machine says
Rolling roads and power figures and claims i don't listen too unless the car is measured on a rolling road BEFORE (when standard) any work is done
you can't just through £2K at a car and then say it has 200bhp, no
you can however (in my book) power run it before, then throw £2K at it and then power run it afterwards on the same RR and walk about as happay as larry, "oh look at me i gained x amount"

Exactly plus no two cars are the same. One car might need 1.5k spent on it to get to 200, another might need 3.5.
Its impossible to pigeon hole a car as there's a million and one factors to think about.
I bought a rover on the cheap with a HG failure as a second car. Went on a rover forum and got told it could cost as little as 50 quid to fix !! Bollox !! ended up costing me over 200 by the time id pissed about with other things that were all connected with it.
Its piss easy to quote a minimum figure. Thats never the real figure in the ''real world''
your experience differs from most, there's always worser case scenarios, but 9 times out of 10 cams get you to 200+bhp with a remap. Forget inlet work, headwork etc etc, you dont need to do all that to get to that figure.
cams, exhaust, remap, decat.
RR's are not always 100% accurate, but come on, you're making out like they can over or under read by 100bhp, they are usually a few bhp out at most... obviously you get bad RR ops, but most people on here who have these 200+bhp packages have had their cars RR'd at several different RR places.

182
a similar way to how they use superchargers in conjunction with throttle bodies i guess?
