5400 Quid is just ridiculous, I've heard of 2-3K horror stories but never this much. The amount of money your wasting on insurance over a normal car would buy you a new motor in a couple of years.
Why don't you save the pounds and be a named driver on your parents policy for a couple of...
If you really fancy it get him to MOT it for you, say youll pay for the MOT but he has to pay for repairs etc. Least then youll know its road worthy.
But remember there are always plenty of them around so you dont need to jump onto one if theres something slightly dodgy!
I don't mind some noise, I've looked at many videos online for Milltek back boxes and think these sound good!! So would be after something similar to that level.
Surely if the standard cat is on its way out though, it's better to replace it with a sports cat rather than just another OEM one...
I know it wont give any real improvement, but yeah the old one is dying and I've heard the standard back boxes etc are very restrictive. I do want it to sound a bit nicer and louder too, just not excessively loud like its a chav car if you know what I mean.
I'm looking for a new exhaust in the next couple of weeks.
Been looking on the Ktec Website mainly. Seems at the minute it's between the Ktr Sports Cat and Cat Back or the Milltek equivalent.
I was leading towards the Ktr products. But a friend who also owns a 182 told me at the weekend...
Just out of interest how much did it set you back mate? Mines similar and wanted to see if I did well or not lol.
Obviously you don't have to say if you don't want too!!!
This is good to know, thanks for the OP.
Out of interest, what's a group N exhaust?
I'm planning on tracking mine, and was a little concerned with sports cats etc getting through the MOT ok.
Also, do you know how close you are to the maximum noise level on tracks? Normally its about 100DB I...
Cool, Didn't even know there was a tow eye thread haha, first ever clio and first ever tow eye fitted!
When you get a chance mate, could you email me some pics please? I'll PM you my email
Cheers
But I'll also be using the car as a potential run about too. I've got another car for luxary and special occasions. So yeah the sport is mainly for track laughs and giggles, and running around etc
Ill look to become a member asap then cheers.
Ok cool thanks!! Croydon by the way.
I see what you mean by a lot of work for nothing, but I didn't buy the car to get HP gains, I just want it to be a laugh around a track, I was thinking, brakes and suspension to improve handling, then maybe strip out the back seats and put in a cage with...
Is it worth being a member? Am I actually going to see that money back in savings from websites? Im not really interested in stickers lol
Why do you say this budgie? I thought I read somewhere that the 182 air box was very restrictive???
Even though Ive got the cup suspension, you reckon this...
Says I dont have permission to view this :S
Ok I'll look into BMC induction kits then, thanks.
Still need a towing eye though, should I just go for that one on ebay or are there better places/shops?
