guess a test drive will settle it.

Also, are the 182's reliable?

If your serious then PM me. Thanks for the advice about the cam belt change. They are hefty bills to foot! I am taking a 182 for a spin on the weekend, also going to take out a ZR 160. Will see how i get on.

Well i think i will take the MG ZR 160 for a test drive, the 182 and the honda type r.

cheers for the replys. I think my budget is ok but maybe not the cup packs. I appreciate what you are saying about the MG but EVO gave it a really good review! http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarreviews/29744/janspeed_mg_zr_160.html

Hi all, I am looking for a clio 182 preferably with cup packs and have 3.5 to 4.5 k to spend. I am in the process of selling my RX8 231 so the price i get for that will determine my budget. There seem to be some pretty tidy examples on offer on pistonheads. Is there anything that i need...

Best thing to do is look at piston heads and auto trader and price accordingly mate. The market will dictate the price at the end of the day.

Agree witth all above. If it will stop you haveing a laugh, going out etc then no! Also have you done a quote with one of your parents on the car? My Mum ha sa clean licence held for over 25 years odd and having her as a named driver reduced my quote by 100 or so...

private every time! Save a bundle, and will be under warranty if you buy 55 plate so any issues you can still get resolved, why go dealer route???

Rempas on these cars seem to add very little gains and cost 400 ish. Due to there being no turbo charger and the engines already being highly tunes the gains are approx 10 BHP, unless the 197 does have a turbo?? The only way they will be able to see if a re-mao has been done is if they look at...

deep sosh really work on the clio, need to lower it as well though imo.

all maps seem to claim same gains so not going to pay unnecessary £££ Arent all maps done on a rr??? the k-tec one seems to be, this is the only map i would ever get installed so if not i will look else where.

Yeah if there is one available that would be the idea...If!

Yozzasport zorst is 450 odd fitted, cant find maxogen and have looked, and map is 300. I have a budget of 9k so can pick up a trophy on 31k for 7800 so should have enough with some change.

Any one been to these tuners? http://www.morego.co.uk/road_tests_item.php?road-test=5 Any good, evo mag seem to like them? 800squid option looks promosing...Intake, map and exhaust, £900 Alternatively jozzasport exhaust, Maxogen and K-Tec re-map costing approx £900 as well...hmmmmm...

Seems like a good price to me, i am looking at trophys and they are 8k with 30k on so 6k seems good.

I have had my car cleaning days, i am after a drivers car now so i think the trophy fits the bill tp be honest. Have heard the yazzosport and defo am going to get that and the maxogen and go from there.

cheers for all the info guys, really appreciated. I realise exhausts provide little gain but as mentioned is sound i am after really. Did a cat back and high flow sport cat on my current car and sounds great with a tad extra BHP. All the reports suggest the brakes are up to the job. I will do...

That is all i would want to do, which exhaust and map is the best to go for, there seem to be a few out there the k-tecnic seems to be the maop and the jozzasport seems to be the exhaust with maxogen as well. What are your thoughts with the brakes?

Someone at some point has mentioned to me that the standard exhaust rots and is not mounted that well? I would definately get an exhaust, remap and prob an intake and stop there. That is pretty much waht i do to all my cars as a minimum.

Or paid and declared them as extras...

Yeah i am defo going to get one, just waiting to sell my MPS first! 36k service that is a lot. not the timing belt at 36k surely???? I have done tonnes of reading of reviews etc and defo want the trophy, as a drivers car it looks amazing! I need to save money and still want a fun car so the...

I get this all the time, i always know more than dealers about my car, whether it is my MPS, my VRS or whatever...car salesmen are generally crap...

How do you rate your trophy against other cars you have had in terms of niggles, fun etc...how much is a general service...Hope they sort your issue mate, i do hate dealerships, a lot! i am going to say no problems but wont fix the reason it is there in the first place!!!

Only one i would buy would be the F1 eddition...defo go second hand, I think people who buy new are crazy!

depend, tends to be ragged i suppose, that is a lot of milage imo, no others with less milage?

that is what i read so was suprised when people started saying they would upgrade them as the first mod!!

There is a guy running about that on briskoda, but spend in excess of 3 k getting there!!! Just buy a better more capable car! im talking upraded turbos, clutches FMIC ..the works!

Hmmmmm true. I defo want to change the exhaust. A lot of you are saying the brakes, i was under the impression they were great as standard?

This is not a Vs thread as everyone know wheo will win! http://briskoda.net/forums/fabia/clio-182-trophy-shall-i/115267/
