Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt
I think the plans you have will be fine for modest improvement matey, matched inlets and a remap should see it drive nicely :)
Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt
I think the only one people actually rate is the cold air fed ITG maxogen, which is a box with a filter in it and some pipes going to it...........kinda similar to the standard don't you think ;)
so cash is usually better spent elsewhere!
not updated this for a bit, the misfire was another dicky injector, so grabbed another out the bucket in the shed and sorted
I have since fitted standard exhaust and sold the Janspeed..........then swapped the standard for an RS192 which is on now
I have also boshed a CDA BMC on it for a...
I have a one on the mk1, works great, make sure you get the one with the 2 components, one that fits to the box itself and on for the lever in the car. for the full speedy gearchange experience :)
no idea on extra wear from that specifically, my gearboxes usually go bang anyway, lol!
Re: Newbie from Yorkshire! Clio 182 Full Phatt
welcome and wouldn't bother with I/k, get a decent panel filter and pop the RS tuner 98ron map on or if your anywhere near Leeds go see Paul@RStuning
140 for a snappy including return post, on top of that you have to pay to send your wheel and there is a 45 returnable deposit upon you sending your old wheel back.
i'm going guess they may scrub a little on the rears, I have 10mm rear spacers, 7 j and et37 on that profile tyre (so no stretch) and it rubs on the back a bit over big bumps on cooksports
I don't actually trust any insurance company in the event they actually have to pay out, I reckon they will do literally anything to not
as such I will always go with the cheapest on the basis that they will try to f**k me so why pay more
for comparison, when I fit the summer wheels which are ET37 Williams wheels (15" and 195/50 section tyres) it does scrub a bit, not badly, but a bit. and the ET37 to 43 difference is....... 6mm ;)
I have just turned 30 this year, which I think has helped on the other cars and the 182 has come down by 50 quid this time around
and tbh I haven't really checked other cars either, having mostly insured Clio's over the past 10 years.
its just interesting to look and I was quite surprised!
stupid cliosports
and Dave, that's proper man maths that is, save 100 on the insurance and loose 4k on the servicing and upkeep (enough to buy and throw away two 182's ;) )
I'm guessing its due to loads being stolen or written off but been playing with quotes today and all sorts I wouldn't of expected is cheaper to insure (just going off the back of what others on this forum own)
quick taster, done a few more but these are two that stuck out!
Clio 182 with mods -...
essentially yes, but the likely hood of it actually going pop is pretty slim, i'd perdsonally just drop and check the oil and replace with new again to the correct level
put it this way, the 172 box in my mk1 turbo (290bhp, 270lb/ft) was whining the day it went in, 10k ago and 6 track days plus...
