was a blue 182 eather lowered or full of people too.
i would have came across but was with my mate in his corsa so didnt bother, will do when im in the clio though!
seen 2x silver MK1 172s with CS stickers and they were with a black 172 (one of the MK1's was driven by a bird!!)
also seen W3 UAN (think thats it) in the blue MK2 Ph2 with the wee wheels
lol the other day i was in the barbers and a car went past with a loud exhaust (didnt see what car it was) and the barber said "you've got one of these loud exhausts on your car martin havn't you" and an older guy with overalls on started laughing but i said no as i dont have one, he was...
id say go for it mate, BB's 172 turbo runs 280bhp i think and they say that this is enough for the gearbox, so to be honest your not going to get much more than 300bhp from the gearbox and even at that its not going to last too long.
good luck if you decide to go for it
EDIT: HERE you go mate
do it, but you'll find yourself kickin the nuts off the car all the time just to hear it! cant help you about gains on a 1.6, i know my relocated 1 made a difference on my 1.2
na not yet mate, dont want to waste my induction noise so i cant decide. i want one for the looks and to free the engine up a bit but noise doesnt bother me.
yeah thats what i would have done it was just when timmay said..
Ive been through a chicane on a road near mine at about 60mph (got clio 182 anthracite alloys and lowered suspension) and i managed a kinda small "tripod" with the back left wheel coming slighlt off the road- great fun!
was...
75bhp standard, mines got 120,000 miles of running in, relocated induction kit to behind front grill getting blasted with cold air.
pulls on my mates clio with same engine
how can you tell when you lift a back wheel?
mine can get a bit hairy in tight corners fast, back end twitches and bounces about when it hits bumps if your going to fast (as well as the tyres chewing the arch liners lol)
