I noticed a huge difference in mine before and after the engine work. But I did other things at the same time such as take some weight out and shortened the gearing slightly so its a combination of all that really.
The engine mods cost the same as an RS2 inlet, but now I've got a rebuilt head...
Best N/A torque will come from cams, ITBs, headwork (port/polish), 182 manifold and a straight through exhaust.
Mine is 184bhp and 173lb/ft on the Dyno Dynamics rollers at RS Tuning, that's with Piper cams, headwork, ported inlet, 182 manifold, sports cat and KTec exhaust.

Has the master cylinder got four or two output lines?
My guess is it'll have four so the two front brakes will have one line each.
For the rear you have options depending on the proportioning valve. If that's one line in and one out then you need to T the two rear lines from the MC to the...
Re: Ph1 172
Weighed the F1s when I got them off, 7.7kg.
Turns out the Pro Race were ET25 not 35 so that's why they were a bit heavier. Got that sorted and got them on now :) They are 1kg lighter each than the OZ but stronger too and a better offset so the spacers have gone too.
Went to see a...
How much work is it swapping a subframe over on a 172?
I'll be taking the hubs and struts off soon so I thought whilst the suspension is off it might not be much more work taking the subframe off.
Make it compulsory to have no insurance. Problem solved.
We all know driving at speed involves risk, we accept that but we shouldn't have to accept the insurance cretins chasing us down.
Last time I did Oulton I had a spin at Lodge. Car behind was quite close but I controlled it well and got...
What disc size are you looking at?
I've got a photo on my pc somewhere from a thread on here where a guy had the 300mm hi-spec kit under 15" 2118.
The wilwood 295mm kit fits without spacers iirc
I don't know how people find the time to play games so much...
Popped in to see my mate for 10 minutes today and he's finished his, 34 hours gameplay in 3 days. I manage to get about 34 hours game time during a whole year.
Not massively different, there's less roll but they're not that stiff really. the Bilsteins are a nice ride on the road. I've heard a few people saying they're too soft for track use though.
Looks lovely, can't wait to have a go of one of these, just need to get my name down at the local dealers after I've taken the 1.5dci Dynamique out for a spin.
I've seen quite a few normal Clios about and a few STs but no Clio 200T.
Thought about a remap? The Nissan Juke remaps to around...
Cup shocks + cooksport springs. When you go lower you alter the geometry negatively. In which case you may as well get super budget coilovers for form over function.
See how much the cheapest Ktec ones are with the 5% discount.
Re: My PH1 172
Update on the AT power kit, £1450 for the DTH bodies and Storm ECU. I'm waiting on a reply to see if that is inclusive of VAT, they also need to check the Storm ECU is suitable. Won't be plug and play though.
I'm quite happy with my £270 suspension, nearly new cup shocks and top mounts and new Cooksport springs. Nice drop, rides well on the roads. Takes abuse well and it'll last. No need to set up the ride height as its fixed.
Could be stiffer but for road use its pretty much perfect. You can really...
In my opinion, yes.
What they don't have is damping adjustment. However if it just for road use, or even just the odd trackday now and then they are fine.
Very nice ride, good quality and will lower it more than you'll need.
This ^^^^
There's no real point really taking it past where you make peak power anyway, I change around 7-7.2k to make the most of the torque band.
I'd look for a minimum of a 13 row oil cooler but if you can fit a bigger 16 row or maybe even 19 then it will help keep temps down. A...
