If it was mapped or would make more torque. The lower inlet temps would aid top end power. When mine was fist mapped it had massive low down shove, then went into limp mode at the top end[emoji23]
I think it's the cheap bit that brings people back to clio ownership. Give it another 5 years though and I think a cheap good 1*2 will be harder to find.
That's a bloody long run from Leeds mate. Try heading to the coast or the Dales, there's plenty of fun to be had closer to home!
Always sad to see a car you've loved drive away. It looked bloody good doing it though!
Definitely consider a 172 cup. Make it mint and keep it standard and your onto a winner.
