They look ridiculous IMO, but hey, whatever floats your boat right!

Welcome mate.

If you're desperate for a k-tec, I'll sell you mine ;) pissing me right off!

Shiyan, you make a very good point about the fuel consumption.... What sort of mpg are people seeing from itb'd cars? I'm not loaded, but I do like to spend what money I do have, on my car. I'm not worried about resale etc as I'm planning to keep it.

I find the ktec boomy. It's not loud, just the resonant frequency of the car and exhaust is at about 75mph so it's irritatingly loud on motorways.

If it's flow you're after, nothing beats the btb.

Coilovers are a lot more money, but well worth the investment. Springs and shocks are good, but you can't beat a set of good coilovers. However, don't skimp. Kw v2's have my vote.

Writing 'models in my name at the side' was longer than writing 1.6 16v. Lol

I've got mintex disks and ds2500 pads already. Only way up is 4 pots really. Ordering kw v2's on payday and stripping as soon as the mrs gets a new car and i'm given permission :) I'm really just looking for a project for the fun of doing it. Danny, ill be investing in a lovely little diesel...

4wd! Lol! That would insane.... Unfortunately I don't have £20,000 to throw at a clio. I think I'm going to end up going for itb's / jms manifold on the cup and buying another engine to satisfy my urge to take on a silly money pit project. At least that way I'll still have a car to use!

I'm hopefully going to get a drive in a cup with a jms manifold and a supercharged one in the near future so that'll be the decision maker for me. The only thing that puts me off itb's is the huge cost/gain. But as you say, its the useable power that you get that makes it worthwhile.

Have a look in the jms trader section.

I'd go for both myself, one or the other looks odd

Itb's and cams still don't see much over 200hp though do they? Plus, that would realistically be the same price as a SC anyway. The only huge thing that pulls me towards itb's or jms manifold is the engine note. From the videos I've seen, they sound fantastic. I'm not bothered about resale as...

Itb's and coilies would end up close to £4k anyway! I can't justify the £2,500 odd for itb's for 20hp. I think it's going to be between turbo and s/c. Is there any significant difference in figures between the two? They seem to be pretty equal in every respect, cost/power/reliability etc. The...

Id imagine this was how it works.... But even then, the cost is less then 10% of the excess!

I've never seen this before.....

I sold mine for £300 last week.... Couple of other sets for similar money too.

They are genuine yes... But as said. So expensive. Try justmatz

Buy some eibach sportlines....

I thought it was nos?

You could have bought turinis for that money. There's a few sets for sale at the moment.

Get some pictures up then matey! Was it a phase 1 or phase 2 172 that you drove?

0-60 is 7.5 secs for the ibiza btw....

I'm certain it would cost me less money in the long run to get you guys to do it... But where's the fun in that ;)

'class' of car always refers to it's category, performance and price bracket. If you bought a 200 cup and spent the extra ~£12k on it, it would be a rocket. Of course it's price dependant. Otherwise we may as well chuck a twingo and a golf w12 in as well.

A focus RS? Are you mental??? They're not far off twice the price of a Clio! You can easily get a standard cup for 15k

I hope your health insurance covers you for self inflicted spinal injuries ;) Looks good though mate.

^^^ this. Power to weight is the key :) If you must spend money, spend it on handling. A good 1.2 will keep pace with a 1*2 on a twisty track.

Get rid of them.... You won't regret it!
