172 Mods?

[King_kong]

Hi,

Im new here just about to buy a 172 mk2.

Wanting to get some mods done straight away and wanted some advice please:

Im in south london, is there a local tuning company or good garage to do work on clio 172s?

Also looking to get an exhuast and induction kit. Which is the loudest/best sounding?

Also looking to get bucket seats put in, what are the best ones?and what sort of price are they?

Im looking to spend £1000 ish on mods etc, is there anything else you would get done?

cheers guys!

Now that's out the way.

Exhaust... Lots available, depends where you are and what you want, if you want loud some people say Scorpion are pretty good.

Seats. I have tried many of the Cobras and Sparcos (racing ones not halfords) and they're all supportive and comfy imo.

You'd be better off figuring out how much you would spend, if it's just the driver's seat (could afford a better one) or both fronts. Then go from there. Cobra Suzuka is popular though and they're very light which combines well with stripping the interior.

Induction.. Wouldn't bother, some people say they have gains, others say they have losses. I personally doubt you can tell the difference either way on a 2 litre NA. But to each his own. Just don't spend too much if it's just noise you're after.

Other than that. Welcome, I hope you like soup.

wouldnt get a induction kit. with 172/182's theres no room for a natts stiffy under the bonnet so they suffer wth the heat loads. i'd get (and got after running a i.c) a IGT replacement pan.filter

welcome fella ..... 1000 quid can get you a few decent mods tbh , try BENR for inlet matching , go to yozzasport for the exhaust and decat , as said an itg panel filter will suffice , money gone , job done

actually add a bit more and get the remap too

RS Tuning [pmurray on here] for the re-map, although theyre at Leeds. Worth a day out for 275 notes, its straight up the M1

BenR [one here] at Angelworks is working on something that will be available soon......

.....oh and welcome.
