Go to longlife and get a custom made if you don't want extra sound mate. I recon for £400 - £600 you could get a full stainless system to suit your needs!

So I'm entering the CSCC Tin Tops next season, and I'm going to race prep the car while this season is going on :) Because of this....no turbo'ing :( So I have several questions, all of which a search helped in no way... First and foremost, in your personal opinions what will a N/A 182 max...

Cant beat sennheiser HD25's...best all rounds IMHO :)

Ohhhh nooooo, they have honoured the extended warranty....messed up.....and replaced that too.....shoot them all!!

Haha I know yeah, apologies! Tbh, at the moment I'm more looking at turbo'ing the F4R atm. But was just an idea if there's wasnt much of an issue. But yeah I'd have discs over drums any day! Only problem is if the rear isn't setup properly for an aftermarket switch, it can make it handle...

This is for trackday usage, but may get insured for abit if it runs nicely ;) Cheers mate, solved my problem no issues!

So if I was to look at a complete engine transplant, there's no need in me buying a 182, except if it contradicts the answer to my question! Apart from the engine...what other upgrades did they do to the 182? Not bothered about cosmetics, just chassis wise really :) Is it going to be worth me...

Ahhh sorry man, on tapa so didn't even think about it. I'll get on i Cheers

Also, As you say with the RS FMIC, is there something bigger that will be more suited, as if I want to go more power, again, don't want to be restricted again. Also turbo, the Astra VXR K04 is it worth looking at that, or goin for the more expensive Garrett route? What GT would you reccomend?

Awesome reply man. Thanks. So with regard to the CR issues, we talking direct fitment of a 197 head or will that take modifying? I presume low comp prisons are going to be a more expensive option, however, if I'm going to be upgrading the power, I think I may aswell have room to improve rather...

Tbh, although I do love a massive engine that can produce big straight line speed, I'm more after a clio that will produce around the region of 280bhp or even 300bhp to use on the road or track. I think I know which way in going about it, but anymore info on turbo'ing the standard engine would...

Ahhh you work for total vauxhall? One of my mates corsas was just put in there this month! Ryan Hughes Corsa B, beautiful car, and also Mark Baker with a green C20XE Corsa 5dr at PVS, that went in there too a few issues ago :) But yeah, I can see where your coming from with the full engine...

Hmmmm, that is an option also. But then there's the custom driveshafts, engine mounts, wheel hubs. Getting the driveshafts to align properly with the engine fitting well. It's a good idea, which I didn't think of...and I suppose theres draw back with everything, and the gains may be even more...

I was going to say, how would 4WD work? Haha So, with forged internals etc and a turbo addition, what are the general feelings towards power? I'm thinking if 258 is possible with a standard bottom end, 275/280 should be possible? And would this be using the megane turbo, or would a GT28 be better?

Getting that to handle would be a b**ch though! But some decent work has gone into that mate!

I hate the LET crowd! Been over done and, although their my knowledge area, I just the the stigma that goes with a redtop corsa!

Hmmmm seams abit debatable wether the full engine transplant is worth it compared to a turbo addition then. I mean I'd like the challenge of fitting the megane engine in, but If it means all the hassle to only get negligible gains over a turbo addition then there's no need tbh. Also to me a...

Anyone know what kind of weight you could think of getting with a stripped out 182 with two buckets and a cage? Or at least a ballpark figure? Cheers

Personally I'm thinking, 172/182 stripped etc etc. Standard Fast Road/Track Car! However! What common engine conversions are there? What's a realistic BHP figure to talk about from a 172/182? Is it comparable to the common engine conversions? Or is it a significant power increase with a...

Ahhh right, not completely repping it then :-/ skirts out the window then haha nahh it's staying standard for about 6months until sound system, and then just thinking after a while getting everything else :-/ need to talk to Renault about the lowering tbf

Well, as I've said before, just ordered a black 1.2 i-Music and had a couple of ideas to run past ;) I'm going to have to get everyhing fitted by Renault as I want to keep the warrenty valid. So was thinking a set of Renaultsport carbon skirts and a black Renaultsport spoiler. Just as I...

Awesome, Nearly the same as vauxhalls then :) Just a lower offset :) cheers dude

I've read all of the posts about it up in the stickys, but there's doesn't swan to be any Clio 3's in that sooooo, dos anybody know the pcd and offset of the Clio 3?

Awesome :) cheers mate how about if I buy the renaultsport skirts and spoiler and get Renault to fit them? Would this be acceptable?

Quick question on warrenties just ordered the i-music, and wanted to put a whole sound system in to replace the orgional, focal 6x9s, jl audio fronts (on this topic, anyone know the standard size?) alpine headunit and a custom sub setup using a EV 18" driver, from a disco cab :) a 500w rms...

Hello everyone :) Not exactly new to cars as I've owned and modified a White Corsa b for a year :) then thought it was time to move onto bigger and better things for example a black 10 plate Clio i-Music 1.2 16v ordered it and put the deposit down this morning, and should be coming in the first...
