I was at 180 with just the exhaust, remap and panel filter on Paul's old Dyno Dynamics. Since then i've fitted the cat', new airbox and matched inlets. I'll be having it RR'd shortly to get a true figure.

Janspeed sports cat - £50, Phase 1 airbox and panel - £40 Exhaust - £0, already fitted Inlets - £150 Remap - £170 That's £410 for at least 190 bhp. I've not added my 182 setup but if I did, I'd still only be around £500.

I paid less than £400 for just short of 200bhp. I did pick up some bargains along the way though. I wouldn't bother personally as you never really gain much but it depends how much you love your Clio.

I fitted a new o/s shaft yesterday for £78.00 with no surcharge. Returned the old unit within 1 week, all good.

Magic, thought that may be the case.

4 to go.

The worst thing is, you have to prove them wrong, they're always right in their own mind. Many moons ago, I had a crack against an S4 Avant and did suprisingly well. It turned out that it belonged to the dad of the kid with the worlds fastest Astra GSI mentioned above. I then saw the kid in...

These sort of companies normally quote a falt 10% gain for N/A cars and 30% for turbo'd vehicles, hence the 17 bhp gain.

You'll get nothing like that mate. I got 5bhp peak and 15lb/ft mid range. I had the same mods before the map. The gain is very noticeable but don't go expecting pub talk figures.

It's a once a week ritual. It must be a mans game.

I have them on my 172. I came from Apex to Sportlines. The Apex improved the handling no end and looked sweet but the ride wasn't the best. The Sportlines have a better ride than standard, handle as well as the Apex on smooth roads and better on the rough stuff but aren't as low as the Apex...

I sprayed mine where i'd caught it with the jet wash.

It's the height that does it Justin :rasp:

Joshy_Dee may well do it for you.

I tried myself using various metal clips and plastic clips, nothing lasted more than a week. I took it to a mates garage and paid £10 to have a crimped clip fitted.

I like the wood effect panelling at the rear.

So is Tom Varey! ;)

Possibly, dependant on the springs. Apex will definately get lower, Eibach's, probably not.

All you need are need nose pliers, WD40 and a screw driver.

I thought it was a number plate comparison meet for a second.

Got my eye on that one, collection as well as they're only 10 minutes away.

'He was definately trying, we could hear him ragging it'.

Could be worth a crack.

What was the adaptor piece? I can't see how a regular allen key would stand the pace.

...an H reg' Astra GSI. A local joey has been pounding around in an absolute sh!tter of an Astra GSI. He drives it like and absolute loon and it sounds like he dropped a set of Drapers in the oil cap. My notoriously impressionable brother came in last night 'Those Clio 197's are sh!t, Tom's...

The strut tops on Donny_Dog's 172 are well and truly seized. After what must have been 45 minutes of trying, half a can of Plusgas, numerous poundings with a hammer and a bent allen key, we were stumped. The method we used was: Ring spanner on the strut top, allen key in the centre of the...

20 sheets old bean. We need to have another crack at those strut tops.

What about the R26. Will run the Clio into the weeds I would have thought.

Still preferred the chromes but it does look good.

Why thank you Jamie.
