lol at all those mods and money spent for no increase in bhp. or if you believe whats on here maybe 5bhp. these threads make me realise spending any cash on engine mods is pointless. strip it and improve handling is the way forward.
v power will make f*ck all difference to bhp. if u want more bhp heres what to do, sell it, buy something faster, preferably with a turbo, then tune it , and see proper gains. on a clio, better spending money on handling, make it more fun to drive, and also strip it out a bit, save weight.
just bought one for my ph1 172, hopefully should compliment the new renault shocks and eibach springs. got new hankook v12 tyres fitted to it last saturday, put a k&n in the standard airbox, now im after a nice cat back system to replace the standard item and also get a set of matched inlets...
hope they give u the 100% mate, dont see why after offering u 95%. cant believe a gearbox has gone at that mileage. i really like the 197's as well but this gearbox issue puts me off buying one.
car has new renault shocks and eibach springs, handles like a dream, rest of car is standard bar a k&n in the standard airbox. iv just bought new hankook evo v12 tyres for it as the fronts were shot, so what next for best bang for buck? choices.........
exhaust
matched inlets
whiteline...
my front tyres are shot, on standard 15" rims, they were michelins, not sure how old they are as iv only had the car 3 months, so what tyre should i go for?? been on blackcircles and camskill, prices pretty good for the size 195/50/15. any suggestions, as there are loads to choose from...
notice any improvements to performance with the new inlets fitted?? cant decide whether to get these or not for my phase 1 172 or get a whiteline arb instead.
i have one of these brand new in my garage i got with my williams a few years ago, 195/50/15, and my ph1 172 could do with new front tyres, so im wondering if you can still get these so i can buy one to match??
i had a mint low mileage williams 3 years ago, then after a few other cars i bought a brand new 172 cup, then after a few scoobs i am now in a ph1 flame red 172, have to say i have been really really impressed with it, great little car, drives spot on, has new shocks and eibach springs...
looking at a cat back for my ph1, looked on you tube and on here for sound and opinions, and im leaning towards the ktec recessed supersport, sounds nice, looks good. other contenders were btb and yozzasport, btb maybe too quiet, yozza maybe too loud?? what would u get?
yeah id spend another 700 or 800 pounds and get a good one with service history, quite a few around. i paid 1800 for mine good history well looked after by an enthuisiast who is on here. new shocks and eibach springs on it, that one looks like trouble.
from what iv heard the ph1 172 makes the best gains as they have the worst standard casts from the factory, the later cars especially the r s stamped ones have the best and therefore make the least gains.
