But if we want to be keyboard warriors and troll people on the internet, he could afford to buy your car and still go on holiday. Good day

Good day indeed, We got offered £1500 notes for the weekend toy so that may cover a holiday to.......Leicester say......:clown:

rebuilt and strengthened drivetrain.
428 Cams & fresn belts
fresh OEM suspension

there's your 2k, and a much stronger car that is far less likely to spit the dummy

If people are lucky to see 30hp out of Throttle Bodies, It's highly unlikely that exhasut/panel filter and some engine rework is going to see anything but a few hp gain in power a better noise and possibly a better throttle responce and smoother idle/acceleration.

Bang for buck, in a clio imo, is sort handling out. If you can hold speed better around bends then surely thats the biggest performance imrpovement you can make for track or fast road driving.
Just my 2 pence!

considering i do what i do i ALWAYS recommend tuition before you do anything, you can have all the toys you want, but getting overtaken by a stock car is embarrasing (but also very satisfying for the driver of the stock car!)

Still the best answer so far!

The best answer so far

sold now, so no sc for £2k for anyone else

 

[andyclio172]

sell it and buy a 182.

You could do that but if he has got a lovely example of the 172 then I would spend money on the 172. If I had £2000 to spend on mine I would upgrade the sound system, buy some ktec suspension parts and then buy an exhaust system, filter, remap and matched inlets.

 

[Goodj]

sell it and by an MX-5
