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)
john does your bird/sister ever drive your car? seen a clio like yours with W***MMS reg and dynamique spoiler but had the PH1 clio "s" wheels was a hot bird driving though, was in Falkirk mcdonalds. thought it was maby your winter wheels
not bad, looks nippy, 9-10 secs to 60 i counted.
think mine pulls thru the revs a bit faster but could be all in my head, you notice much difference when you fitted your exhaust? apart form noise obviously!
