Btw nice mods guys :).

If you read my post I never said heat wrap cooled the air down, I said it helps stabilise temps and gives the engine a more consistant temp intake and hence performance. Well done, correct. In forward motion it is no use (below 40mph or track conditions), but where you will find the most use...

More than anything the heat wrap and IK should in theory give a car more consistant performance throughout the year. It might give a gain of 5bhp max? Removing a spare wheel would give you -15kg max? Both wouldn't give you a significant increase in performance tbh but if you do the sums...

Yeah it did come with it. I think it makes things a bit hairy around corners. Yeah i know you shouldnt brake around a corner but it shouldnt be like that. Cheers, Chun.

I would just go for group N discs (plain and cheap but has more friction) and some nice ferrodo pads. Cheap and works good. Unless you do tracks days :), then maybe you need a better pad. No need to spend loads on the 172 system. They work very well already. Chun.

Fitting a induction kit would improve sounds a lot :). But I would rather go for a sealed one like viper or BMC. Because they make more power (Not a lot more but theres no point doing things that decrease or wont incease perforamance). But the BMC is supposed to be quiet :(, which kind of...

Been told most new cars have there gearbox oil for life. Theres no harm in changing it tho if you wanted improved shift quality. But as it is i think yuo dont actually have to change gearbox oil at all . Cheers, Chun.

Simon not being rude or anything but what kind of power are you running m8?. To get 150 in a clio you would need some serious power. Chun.

Technicalman have you driven a Astra Coupe Turbo?. Theres less torque steer than 172s if you must know, I use to own one. Please drive one before commenting. And if you really know what your talking about the 2.0 turbo in the Astra coupe is not the same engine as in the SAAB. The 2.0 turbo in...

Kis172 - True :D. Chun.

Being a Clio forum doesnt automatically mean the Clio is the best car ever. A Clio 172/Cup is good and might or might not be the best depending on the needs of the person buying it. Chun.

Blaze I looked at the speedo and the revs. 6k revs x 24.7 mph/1000rpm = 148Mph. And funny enough the speedo was spot on 148mph. Chun.
