Its meant to be even lighter than the carbon ones apparently

I did my 182 mani a few years back. Cant feel any benafit tbh

Not sure but its freaky light. Iv got a steel and a ali bonnet sitting. Will get the scales out some time lol

IMO and from experience its worth it but not at Ktec's price and not if your only keeping the car for a couple of years. BTW, you cant add up bhp mods and come out with a total figure. It dosent work like that ;)

They all came with CD changers what you on about? Unless it was imports that didnt. I bought mine new and there wasnt any optional extras to choose from !! lol Majority of Ph1's had alloy bonnets on up till about 2001 where the batch must have ran out hence the reason the later ones came...

1kg lighter according to what someone from Ktec posted on here a good while back :)

I did a very rough experiment on my other car last year with the difference between filling up with £10 of fuel vs £20. Got a extra 30 miles with the 20 quid fill up.

Ah right, i see. So really the only advantage is the very minor weight saving.

Quite suprised at the answers to this. I always thought aircon zapped a bit of power and in theory cost a few extra mpg (even when not in use) :S Would you not get your cash back anyway with the saving on a cam / aux belt changes as the car would be classed as a Cup thus a few hundred quid...

Might be just a 'Clio' but have you read the numerous threads about back street garages doing cambelt changes? - They can do it yes but expect to loose 20bhp in the process due to not being timed up correctly.

ECU's sealed in a metal unit, then theres a plastic cover over the top with the wee tie wrap clip.

Yeah fine without it. Mine hasnt been running one for about 5 years. Its only for security of the ecu. Think you need a special tool to undo them and most just get binned

Do you mean the metal security cover?

If he has money and wants to make it faster, usual bolt on mods, cams, TB'd, Supercharger, the new inlet as already posted plus the turbo conversion are all options. Cash vs gains is always going to be a issue no matter what car. (N/A form)

I can feel a difference when im carting about a 25kg bag of poultry food in the run about so back seats plus spare wheel out of a Clio wont be far off that. What you can feel and what actually is happening (difference in recorded times say) are two different things

Did you know you loose your NCB if you come to change from Churchill? or used to do according to a guy on another forum i go on.

Not unless the 9 bolts have worked their way loose and the exhaust has been pushed back lol :D Heat shield ;)

High miles isnt a problem with these. As already shown, they can take serious grunt on stock internals with 100+ k's on the clock

206 boys like to have their figures high or they get in the cream puff so thats probably ''about right'' for the Clio pmsl

If it was the 1980's yeah :rasp: - Socket set piece job done

If your gay or a chick then probably the Mini. If not the 182 but in Trophy form

Doctor is on his way with your tablets :rasp: Great pictures. Theres always something spooky about old ships.

Are you sure? They state on their site 'Non-hubcentric' Dont think you can buy 5mm hubcentric spacers in any brand>?

I'd try them on first. You might be lucky

Dont make it sound like a 1.3 Polo ''thats it'' :nono: Its not by a mile and then some :rasp:

Will it have to be removed for oil filter changes ?

14.4 is my best time to date running full interior, ice and heavy Speedline 2118's. Since that run iv lost 22kg's, gone back to stock lighter rims and found 6 extra bhp and roughly 10lbft of torque so hoping to shave a bit more of that this year.

This wont be far off TB performance im guessing? so added to those already running cam packages and other bolt on's could this be pretty near to needing uprated injectors for this group?

I had my head done as part of a package of mods good few years back. Runs well

Crikey, this really does sound like a serious piece of kit. Thank god for page 4 of this thread. Up to now i was under the impression this was simply a bolt on plenum onto the existing inlet as per mini valvers design :o
