it made 173bhp standard lol!

gained nearly 20hp and 15lbft, 20lbft midrange when fitted with matched inlets!

most worth while mod I done probably on par with an RS Tuner, only worth it if you can do it yourself though!

my old standard 200 was neck and neck with a VXR nurb from 0- well into triple figures, nothing in it at all, one minute the clio was pulling the next minute the corsa only difference ive found with 200 vs 172/182 is the mk2 you can short shift at say 6k and still make plenty progress, the 200...

because Tuning boxes just ramp up fuel pressure and massively reduce the life of the high pressure pump!, if I wanted to do that I would rather put sand in my fuel tank, its massively cheaper

no point in tuning boxes they cant affect boost. my map at RS Tuning was £450 from memory

my W reg had shift light and alloy bonnet, bonnet was the best bit about the car so bloddy light!

wouldn't go that far lol! day to day driving it wasn't much quicker than the GT DCI was!! only when you drove like your hair was on fire. and where it handled better, on your typical UK backroad the GT was just as fast as it didn't skip and jump about! but in keeping with the theme, it was...

speedo sensor on the gearbox on a cup as it doesn't have ABS

depreciation proof, probably if you buy the right one. investment, I wouldn't think so unless your planning on keeping it 30yrs!

I swapped my 10 month old GT DCI for a brand new 200 when my GT was getting serviced. 2 different types of cars, massive massive difference in economy my GT would do 50mpg without trying where my 200 would do 25 without trying. can you justify doubling your fuel bill, if you can go for it, If...

we had placed an order on a fiesta ST and had to cancel it as my mrs pranged the car we were ment to be trading in, its all sorted out now but the ST has got far to common (for good reason of course) and around here is driven by plonkers going flat out everywhere so not going to re order one. I...

I would choose a 172 based purely on the exhaust, 182 exhausts are a pain and never sit right!

shot dampers id bet how old are they? my last set of 182 cup ones failed after 15k miles 1yr (running sportline springs)

just swap the engines over and use your current injectors, make sure you number them so they go in the new engine in the same order. use your current pump if its working fine as you know its good

ahh that's a shame! looked a cracker in the pics too, but at that top money you expect perfect! I gave up looking for a clean one and bought a cheap heap that was straight and went to town on it, ended up just being one thing after another and I gave up on it and sold it on, spent a whack on it...

there was one on ebay for £3500 with 39k, sat nav and apparently full history looked mega clean too! I was tempted by it!

cheers for the comments guys, not really planning anything else for it just keep it running, its cost me less than its worth so far so don't really want to put anymore cash into it, might do a DIY wheel refurb to remove the kerb marks on a few of them but that's about it really. Looking for...

attacked the headlights today, Before... After...

so the reason the ford fiesta st is outselling the clio is purely because ford have a bigger market share? not because they are offering the customers what they want? at a good price? with the prospect of better residuals?

not as well as the fiesta ST!

I don't mind the 5 doors, or the turbo engine or the gearbox as long as they work as they should and the gearbox is killing it for me! if they do some sort of software update to improve it which will come id imagine then id have one!

this seems to have gone quiet! no sign of any uk special edition models? gearbox software updates? manual boxes? more power? just lying back and letting the fiesta st out sell it by the bucket load!

not a clio but handy for any clio owners thinking of modding!! worst start ever due to it being wet but goes alright once it gets grip!

when tuning 1.2 TCE engines you can use F4R injectors and then F4RT injectors when needed as an upgrade so id imagine they will be fine on your K4M fuel rail! but not 100% on that

press cars seem to last longer than the ones used in the TV ads!!!! mine lasted about 1500 miles lol!!!

yep fastchip can map a k4m no idea if the ecu can be used with a boosted application but id imagine it will, however not as good as aftermarket management! but henk will be able to map it with a wideband its not ideal but its possible

www.fastchip.nl will be your best bet for that if you don't have any mappers local id bet!

oh!

rear light appeared to be shorting out as if I unscrewed the little screw holding the rear light cluster in, not so it was loose but just not as tight as it was, it wouldn't blow the fuse, any tighter and it would start blowing fuses again! a while back this lol
