You won't get 170bhp from a 1.8 valver lump with just cams and chip..
The easiest/cheapest way to get power straight away is fit a 2.0 f7r williams/megane engine and work from there... better base to start with..and with few mods it'll see you do quarter mile in low 14's
I was offered it for 1750, light front end damage with parts to replace supplied, around 6 months ago on ebay, had a buy it now for 2k
But i didnt want another one
Old pic of car.. started off as k-tec turbo conversion, low boost @ 10psi... currently converting to low comp setup.. forged pistons/hybrid turbo etc etc to hopefully have a reliable 260bhp.
New engine is in and most parts fitted, should be on the road soon!!
I found mine handled pretty good, it was on aftermarket suspension though and had eagle f1's all round...
All the imports were 168bhp regardless of year..
the UK ones were 152, and 168bhp for the later ones, something like that apparantly
Very true! i've always been a mk1 fan, i've owned 2 x F7r hybrids, various 16v's and currently have a 16v turbo... i've been in/driven and thrashed 2 x 172's, 1 x 182 and 1 x 172 cup, out and out every day car it would have to be the mk2's just for the sake of it being reliable!
handling, i'd...
that's my old one ^^
they're definately slower than a 172.. they are about level with a valver. not far from a 172 defo a little bit slower.. they do sound nice though, with a little vvti kick at 5.5k
