Until I go turbo I'm looking at getting a spare head ported and polished and get some spare cams reprofiled by Piper cams or get the Prima racing cams.
However I'm unsure of what remaps are available to go with the head and cams. Can you live map the Ecu?
The benefit of the 230 and 280 kits from Engine Dynamics is that the piggyback system allows you to retain all of the ECU controlled functions and the air conditioning.
My radiator looks a little sorry for itself so I was thinking of fitting one of these.

Anyone got one?
I like the DS2500 compound and used the pads on a few cars. They'll be going on the front of the Clio that's for sure but is it worth fitting them to the rear?
I was just about to order 4 x 195/50-R15 Yokohama AD08 at £72 each and noticed the same size Toyo R1-R for £58.50 each.
The R1-R are softer (faster wearing) 140 treadwear vs. 180 on the AD08. Not as fuel efficient G vs. F for the AD08 and the wet braking isn't as good C vs. A for the AD08.
But...
Nothing wrong with a 3 door and kids, I find they are better in the rain as you can get the child strapped in whilst sitting on the front seat tilted forward :)
And in a rear facing seat you can put them in through the boot!
I want to fill out my arches a bit without detrimentally affecting the handling, I don't mind improving it.
I was thinking 16mm fronts and 5mm rears. I don't want to go more than that really. I could also fit 12mm fronts.
That's how I had my old car setup, the only problem I had with it was the throttle on the car was a bit too twitchy. However back it off a tad if the power is too much and away you go again. Power when you want it :)
