I thought about it but I put mine on the rollers at EFI and it made 165bhp and 155lbft which is perfectly healthy for a standard engine (well has Ktec style IK and Yozza decat exhaust) and I realised there was no point in spending hundreds chasing a few bhp which will make next to no difference...

How expensive is the VAG box conversion? Similar ratios to standard?

I'm not a fan of the DS2500's. I've got them on my 172 track car and whilst they're good when warm and they haven't faided on me in three track days they have left deposits on my discs which leads to a vibration under braking. Did the same to my mates 182 and his brothers 225 as well. I'll be...

Could still drive that home

Mine does it if I rush the second to third change but it's fine as long as you don't drive like you're in the Fast and the Furious.

Get rid of her mate

Either will be great. I love my phase 1, it flys around track.

Mine isn't a daily mate, it's pretty much track only. I would like to go out in a boosted car, just to see if I think it would make me enjoy the car more. Thanks for the reply.

How do the low blow conversions drive? Very few people seem to stick to the 230bhp. Car looks good pal.

Fancy plates

It isn't a massive amount - when mixed with rain it's probably about a football sized patch. I just haven't had time to have a look at it but they were my initial thoughts.

My brothers 1.2 Clio was serviced late last week now we have noticed an oil leak. I'm thinking a likely cause will be either they have reused the sump plug washer or not put the filter on properly. Does that sound about right? I've not had chance to have a look yet as we only noticed earlier...

I just did several big stops and allowed them time to cool in between. As I say they work fine but I seem to be getting the deposits people talk of on the disks after three track days. @JamesBryan changed to CL RC5+ and much prefers them.

As above I'd get CL pads. I currently run 2500's and whilst they do give good braking once warm, they leave deposits on your disks.

Was it fast?

The VAG group have awful customer service too. I'm sick of taking my 18 month old Ibiza FR TDI to the dealers for yet another fault and poor service.

Because the ph1's have cable throttle so better response and they're 60kg lighter than the ph2. Cups are slightly lighter than the ph1 and generally make better power than normal 172's believed to be down to having no AC.

Ph1 or a cup.

Go for it mate you will be fine. I've only done three track days and I'm pretty quick now. Just keep your foot in and you'll be fine.

This looks like a great day. Will be booking myself on the early track time so I can get on the ale in the afternoon

Mine is on its way out. I replaced the battery in the key which helps.

And a short bald northern c**t staggering around blind drunk for five days

I'd be sticking a fairly standard lump in it mate. As awesome as the highly modified Clio's are unfortunately they seem to go wrong, a lot.

We need to make sure we get the morning track session so we can get on the beer @Naith @JamesBryan @Gavin. @Niall97

It will never drive or sound like the petrol. Unless you do 20k miles per year or more then get the petrol.

@Niall97

Looks great on the silver wheels Jon.

Love it. Such a cool car.

Mine suffers a big flat spot under 4000rpm which Scoff said was down to induction length, but we run the same filter setup so that's strange. I'll post my graph up later.

I just bought four second hand injectors. 5 min job to change if one was to go again.
