    Should I do the following to my 182?

    Firsttly sort the wheels they are a waste there to heavy and don't let the brakes get cool. Stock brakes are good but brakes are a serious part of a quick car stock never good enough Loosing weight is a good idea helsp with all aspects. Suspenion mods arn't cheap but well worthwhile...

    MOT / Dealeer help

    1) Difficult to argue I'd say just accept it. Could be like that front new or accident damaged the garage MOT guy just checks not his job to find out who's to blame. 2) The MOT guy probably fixed it as part of the MOT without going through the rigmorole of asking ringing you etc etc and fixed...

    DCI Cutting power and hesitating.

    Bioethanol Conversion

    Its a good idea if you hve a constant source as such of it would be helpful as such on the turbo engines realy on stock internals as you could run a lot more power. The problem is you'd idealy need a stand alone ECU to manage it and swop maps. Massive power gains from it on a turbo though...

    whats the fastest NA clio in the uk?

    You can get about 350hp out of the F4R but its not cheap even with out boost. I think I remember of hearing of a 270hp N/A Clio 2.0 tunned not sure exact spec but from what I remember was expensive race engine so could have had a special box so would possible be the quickest if setup for it.

    How much better is a trophy?

    I'd pick the normal 182 over a trophy or a 182 with cheap coilovers you need to spend a fair but realy on supenion to make the setup better as such grip wise. IMO the trophy isn't the right car for everyone and definatly not the one for me. I'd only buy one iof I fitted and did a few miles as...
