1.2 modding

[DKoo2009]

i know this question has probably been asked 100000 times.. but is there any possible way to make my 1.2 faster?

no turbo converions or nothing.. just relitivly inexpensive?

Stripping it probably the best bet. Could spend all the money in the world and not get very far dude

 

[DKoo2009]

yeah thats understandable.. i have only been driving for 3 months so insurance is abit of a killer really... so no engine conversions... not looking to make it fast.. just the extra umph..

weight reduction and a good service, maybe invest in some decent tyres and some springs to try make up the lack of umph with better handling in the twistys.

Not a lot you can do tbh, dont bother with induction kits and zausts as on a 1.2 all you will gain is ear ache

yeah i know.. lol

i heard you can remap a 1.2 .. wud you feel a difference... think it was 75 - 90BHP i think..

i would like to see rolling road figures to back those claims up, I am not sure as its a long time since a had a 1.2 and I never dreamed of mapping it.

I wouldn't waste money on anything that "claims" to give bhp increase unless ur car is dyno'd - mapped - dyno'd to show the difference and even then it prob wouldn't be anything special.

I'd stick with the stock engine and put it on a diet imo.

Start saving for a sport and dont waste your money!!! lol

Like others have said. Loose some weight out of the car, maybe some air breathing mods for some noise and just leave it

No harm in modding your car, just know when to stop and dont start spending silly amounts,

Save it for a Clio 172/182 imo

+1 your best option really, the 1.2 may lack umph but its cheap to run.

Get some money and no claims together.

put some redex or additives through and maybe put some v power in

Will be completely un-noticable.

Best bet is stripping it tbh. Other than that just do handling mods.

Do nothing to the engine, just make it look pretty

Stick on a cone filter if you want some roar-age

 

[DKoo2009]

meh.. i really must get saving then..
i wana drive something fun now.. no fun in a 1.2 really...

Yep, don't bother. I wouldnt even bother with the asthetic changes. Save all you can and just use the car as an A to B rider.

Once you have the dosh, get yourself something with more power.

Bolt on super charger from teh' bay.

Guarnteed laughability, also fold the seats down that adds pony power

Eibach Sportlines and you'll be rockin'.

It'll never be fast in a straight line, but Clios are known for their mint handling and non-sports with decent suspension are no expection.
