decat, catback, throttle body from 2.0 F4R (non renaultsport engine), cams, panel filter, remap.
you can always go for lightened and balanced bottom end, headwork etc ill leave it up to you to decide if its worth it or not. i looked into the 1.6 conversion but realised its not much faster than...
mine does it in first and even in 2nd if your pissing about in the wet at roundabouts or junctions. fuks engine mounts tho mine jumps out of gear sometimes coz of it lol
had this a year and 2 months, only been driving it for 4 months, spent £2,500 on it and although its mental fun to drive i want more power... never selling this car tho not worth enough to be worth selling with 124k on the clock, so this will more than likely be a hybrid soon
you could say that but then is there much point in you "wasting" the 12k or so you payed for your trophy on a clio, what about 30k for a V6 is there much point in that?
its only money you always earn more :)
keep standard 15s get some good 50 profile tyres on them, slam it 80mm on coilovers, upgraded brake, catback exhaust with sports/decat, panel filter, pioneer headunit with amp and components of your choice.
thats what id do :)
if i was to get my cylinder head skimmed down a bit so the engine ran a higher compression what sort of gains would i be looking at? and what about reliability?
keeping in mind the engine would be getting stripped down for a head gasket change anyway.
tell them you had your gps pda in the boot and have proof of how hard they were driving it (more than likely that they were ragging it) and get yourself free stuff lol
runs a bit better. idles funny with normal stuff (possibly because the ecu is used to optimax?) plus if it really is better for your engine, id say its worth it :)
at stirling cruise jock was saying his 172 was a slow one and that gibsons pulls on him no problem, he opened the bonnet and what was under there... a K&N!
strut brace will fit and make fuk all difference, filter should fit but they have different airbox setups so not totaly sure on that 1 (engine is identical tho) but will make the car slower and louder lol
put £45 of Optimax in yesterday and it still wasnt full (well the guage was right off the scale but it didnt click off)
usually lasts me 5 days but im driving super granny like this week as ive got £0 left untill payday in 9 days lol
k-tec relocation pipe is toss anyway, lost mine power and torque, was shuddering when pulling away because of loss of torque and heat soak.
its nice if you want noise just not for power.
as for suspension, apex it. if your just changing springs go for -40mm or if your going full kit go for...
i thought i hadn't lost any power with my open filter, infact i thought i had gained power untill i put the standard airbox back on to see if i got any better MPG and put my foot down, had much more torque when pulling away, when i was pulling away in the dry as i would normally it was...
lower it and then watch the "1.4 corsa boy" dissapear, fun fun.
seriously tho fogs look stupid when its not foggy... lol ive been known to put full beam on "by mistake" when someone with fogs comes towards me when its not foggy.
