If you don't want any toys etc personally i'd have a FF over the cup.
I don't know why people **** off their cars tbh. I've only got a 1.2 clio and although it has its faults its certainly no worse than a corsa, fiesta, C2 etc IMO its a better drive than them. Ok the corsa 1.2 may be quicker...
Gutted for you jord but atleast you know whats up with it.
Think of it this way. You where loving the 2.0 thinking it was running 160bhp. Now you've found out its only running 130bhp when its mapped properly it will be like getting a 30bhp remap and you'll be loving it all over again.
Class, i'd love to do it that spontaniously. I'd have to do insurance quotes and all sorts 1st. Can't wait untill i can afford to insure any car reasonably and pick and car without having to tink about it.
Get RStuner (search it loads of threads on here) and a Yozzasport exahust. They are the nicest sounding system imo although they're loud. Miltek is similar but more subtle.
I'd also get a decat, very easy to swap over at MOT time on a 182 aswell by all accounts.
Not to bad that as he will fit a new cambelt aswell which is a £500 iirc + a service is around £150 so your only actually about £200 out of pocket, although this won't seem like much of a consolation i presume.
Lol i realy hope your joking about all the 172 abuse if not then you have serious issues.
Throttle bodies and cams usually see around 230 bhp don't they, which is pretty good.
Tbh mate i'd shop around more. I've seen the Twingo GT on a 57 plate for £6488 which has the TCE engine in, quicker than the clio aswell, but the clio has the looks.
Nice. I'd get coilovers tbh it would look far better. Good engine the TCE i just couldnt justify the upgrade from a 1.2 16v myself, did realy enjoy the test drive though, also had a go of the dci 86 didnt realy enjoy that tbh felt gutless even though its probably a bit quicker than my 1.2 16v...
Lol is it your nans where you keep all your projects winston, i realy want a nice big double garage so i can get a project in there, i'm thinking classic mini.
you can be arsed to turbo it but not wash it haha although in winter i cba washing my car much gets filthy again in hours.
Glad to see it went well on track ryan, its a top conversion, when you going for 300bhp then?
