opted for some toyo t1-r's, got a good deal thru work on them.
yeah i used meguires on this, usually an autoglym man as i own a flame red corsa, its the only stuff that keeps it red, but on the clio its easier and quicker to use meguires.
comes up nicely! few little clips and one or two...
Bought this car from a member on here a few months back, gave it a new set of tyres and a polish today:
happy with it so far, trying to resist the temptation to bolt my throttle bodies on it...... or mod it in general!
Proof will be when mine is done, were waiting for our new emulator to turn up at the minute tho. soon as that is here and the new rolling road bay is up and running we hope to be offering some deals to fellow cliosport members.
my 172 cup with piperX panel filter made 166bhp on our rolling road. as for remaps, id say Wayne @ chip wizards is one of the best out there, having seen alot of cars he has mapped (he used to use our dyno) the results he gets are great. I wouldnt have any issues about using him to map my car...
The best induction kits arn't necessarily the loudest...
best to fit an uprated panal filter from pipercross or the like, and uprate the cold air feeds to the air box.
pm me for a price, i work at jamsport, have just fitted a pipercross panal filter to mine.... would people be interested in...
If you call me at work, Jam-sport on 01604 755529, i can do some forged pistons with a 12.6:1 comp ratio. made by woosner.
pretty sure i can source some rods for you aswell, whats the engine code?
owning a golt 1.8t with about 200bhp (remap, exhaust and and air filter) id say on the motorway it would have the edge, but between roundabouts etc i dont think it would have a chance.
edde, wanted to keep it a 1600, its been bored to accept oversized pistons but standard stroke. brings it to just over 1600cc.
should be interesting to hear a 1.6 rev to 10.5k!
not really prepared to spend that much on a car thats more track biased, i have a track car in the garage. its more than double what i could get a 172 cup for.
cheers for the info, decided on a 172cup now :)
when iv spend over 1k on a crank for my other car it seems cheap lol!
dont intend to tune it stupidly tho to be honest! defeats the point of it being a daily runner when i have something in the garage to spend on
Standard for standard the st is no match for a 172, its heavy and slow in comparison, however we have tuned a fair few now to over 200bhp, against a 172 they then are more than a match for it, they handle well out the box too.
There are a few 2.3 converted st's about now too which make things...
hello all, few familiar faces on here then!
edde, my old engine spec was 190bhp still using standard internals, this new spec has steel crank, rods, pistons, dry sump etc etc! bottom end alone has cost an absolute fortune! if i didnt work where i do it wouldnt have been possible!
seems you...
len, thats me, currently rebuilding it to be over 220bhp from a 1.6. want something fun for everyday use tho!
thecremeegg, not that fussed on luxeries, also have a golt 1.8t gti that the other half uses daily for the longer trips!
cool so the cup is only phase 2, time to start hunting! would...
now im a paid up member do i need to spend hours trawling thru the serch pages or will people help!
having had a quick scan i feel a phase 2 172 cup is what im after, what kind of money do these go for? and what year/reg does the phase 2 start and end? i gather its a change from cable to FBW...
Hello all, new member here!
After my current daily runner has expired today im after something a bit more fun and wont mind the occational track day along with other toys...
Im after a bit of info and advice! not wanting to spend massive money on a clio but pretty sure im set on one now...
