erm try halfords, elite, wheelmania etc etc (any major wheel place)
even Demon Tweeks, ring up and ask
all you need is the 4 spigot ring specific to your OZ wheels and a clio
the original owner had a weber alpha throttle body kit with direct port nitrous, i heard a rumor that this engine was blown up, hence why im now saying its on its second engine
this may/may not be true though, just a rumor i heard

youll struggle, its very very hard to do without the car being 5ft in the air, you need to compress the ARB whilst tightening the nuts ie NOT EASY
it took me + a mate "hanging" off a 3ft lever bar to compress the ARB enough so that my mechanic could tighten them up
the reason i know of Croydon, is because i have a few mates that live in Cronulla + Newcastle
ive got a few other mates that live in Adelaide and Melbourne (but i cant be bothered to go there!!!)
We do a setup aimed at trackday/fast road users, but not for stupid money!!!
We use Brembo Group N discs (hi carbon) standard size at 280mm, but theyre currently the best discs you can get (we have others going into development shortly) theyre just plain rotors, nothing fancy like drilled or...
yes, sad but true, there is no cheap way of getting power out of the 172/182 engine
youre looking at a bill for over £2K to get to 200bhp (will be rapid though)
cheapest way to make your car quicker is to strip it!!!
erm, depends what the "6ft pikey" is doing with the company vehicle, i assume ill be there!
its personnal preferance, and also depends on track, bruntingthorpe requires fairly high front pressures due to mainly high speed corners
yeah its a standard part, same on every 1998 onwards clio AFAIK
ask for the outer Anti roll bar bushes for clio mk1 172 (do both)
take it to a local garage, no more than 1 hour labour (you could do it in 30min, if you know your arse from your elbow)
its the outer antiroll bar bushes, IIRC theyre about £10 each, but a complete "female genitals" to fit
you need a 3ft long crow bar to compress the ARB enough to get the bolt and nut on
you need at least a 2.25inch full system (2.5inch is better, but loud) some form of sealed induction system and some form of ECU modification the limit with these modifications is MAX 185bhp approx
manifold matching works very well, but if you want the magic 200bhp mark youll be needing cams...

Was thinkin more of crash damaged 255.
its 225bhp on the Megane mate, 255bhp is the V6
crash damaged, can do, but the electircs will be a NIGHTMARE (hence why im going standalone managment)
im not gonna say anymore Roy, as i said, i dont want to get into a slanging match, its pointless
looks like a half decent product, although be cautious before spending your hard earned

^^ uh huh ... I believe you. Just like the 200 brake cup which had inflated rr loss figures used to help promote your cams.
same RR your "211bhp" rocket was mapped on???? i have to keep pumping your tyres up everytime i see your car...
