1k to spend on making my clio better ?

[ferrett]

ive currently got my ph1 to a level of cleanliness and exterior standard that im happy with , ive done the yozza thing (too loud) and the speedline 2118,s (too small) and have a few quid to throw at it ... ive worked hard to save my money without the wife spending it so question is what would you advise/do with a grand ...

1 throttle boddies
2 supercharger
3 trendlines and a few other cosmetic goodies
4 open to suggestions

 

[Dunn]

if you can get 1 or 2 for a grand then get it LOL

id put it towards throttle bodies i would say

 

[Cunney]

Quite like the front bumper mate, works well.

Personally I would go for throttle bodies, anything that makes the car more fun should be priority

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I wouldnt spend anything on the engine.

Spend it on trackdays and have fun driving the car.

 

[ferrett]

also since that pic ive fitted a cupra splitter pressed plates and wind deflectors and currently have my clocks being re coloured

 

[theduck]

JMS Inlet manifold?

Though TBH my head says R888s and track days.

 

[Curtis!]

Set of seats and a steering wheel, atleast you can carry them onto the next car and if you buy second hand you'll never loose much money.

 

[Cunney]

Have you got a pic of the full rear end? I've been considering that badge myself, just want to see how it goes

i dont but i think it looks pretty good buddy . tho they aint cheap ffs

 

[ferrett]

also considered a decent plate for it like CL10 PHL

or something different

 

[Jordi17]

what about colour code and brakes

 

[Cunney]

Aye i've noticed lol, was thinking about removing all the badges and putting the new RS one where the Clio badge usually sits

Great plate if your names Phil and your car is a 10 plate or younger...

 

[Gaz_]

Keep it. The mk2's are now worth fack all at the moment, it would be a waste long term imo

had 3 mk2s and decided to get something different ... ive no intentions in selling its an absoloute minter now

 

[172Ben]

You couldnt get a CL10 plate though?

If you can get a supercharger for £1k - DONE!!

But you cant, so 888's and drive it is my vote.

 

[therealMAtt]

A grand wouldn't get near to bodies or charger! Looking more like 3-4 for either. If the wife will let you, do a few track days! You cant enjoy theses cars on the road anywhere near there full potential.

 

[jesus]

Decent suspension and brake setup.

Someone on here has done bodies for under £600!

 

[Brett]

Clear side repeaters would be a good start

On a serious note, some decent coilies, a whiteline ARB and some track days.

yes i no but that was a one off, if its the one im thinking of running the standard ecu. I was just talking average joe getting them fitted.

 

[ferrett]

i have a good freind who says charger or boddies and map for under a grand is most deffinately doable the first he has done himself for well under 1k ... i work too much to get track days

 

[theduck]

Charger for under a grand isnt going to happen.

Boddies can be and has been done. As EvilTwinKa said, its running standard ECU.

 

[Chris205]

You wont be able to fabricate a supercharger kit, buy a charger, intercooler, pipe work, custom brackets, uprated mounts, custom mapping blah blah blah for under a grand

Dont like the bumper, the splitter or the badge sorry

Buy some coilovers and a BTB exhaust, also get a de-cat, made a big difference on my ph1, along with an ITG filter element for the standard airbox

RS tuner map would go well with the above mods aswell

Whiteline rear anti roll bar will also change the car dramatically for cornering

You could get exhaust, coils, filter, Rs tuner and possibly Rear Anti roll bar for just shy of a grand

well if he can do it, then go ahead an get the supercharger

id love to see that tbh lol

 

[RSTuning]

I'll order some kits of him too please

Just for the C30-94 it's about £1700!

 

[Revels]

That.

Some tuition too. Then see what you have left and what you feel needs improving, it may be seats/brakes/suspension.

It's me he's talking about running bodies for under 1k , and I run Omex600. The charger idea would be me using the one from a mini.

Russ' £600 included re-couping money from bits sold, mine doesn't.

think he is on about a chap called russ. he fitted them himself and it is mapped using the standard ecu. i was talking to him at santa pod a few weeks ago. he ran a 14.2 i think.

 

[Cro]

Lol he's talking about me dude I do know the guy, fab'd, fitted, wired and mapped on omex under 1k. Hutchie also rocks out itb's for very little cost

It's also my idea about being able to charge it for under 1k, seeing as the mini chargers can be had for a couple of hundred.

 

[Chris205]

The mini charger is an Eaton M45, and you're best off getting the teflon coated one which will set you back around £300, can happily boost the standard mini chargers to around 280-300bhp,

If you're doing all the work yourself I still doubt you'll do everything for under a grand, good on you for the bodies though thats a bargain!

 

[DB.]

Mahoosive TV! lol

If you don't know what to spend it on, you shouldn't spend it tbf. Just wait until you want something!

 

[Dave..]

Making the clio better for 1K?

Best thing, sell it and buy something else.

 

[Fred@BTM]

drugs, beer, strippers???

 

[Cro]

drugs, beer, strippers???

Too expensive these days Fred

 

[Will.]

^ If you do all of that in a clio, your in for one hell of a night.

 

[DB.]

If i had the £1k and had to spend it, I'd go on holiday again or put it towards an epic trip to Thailand! Not the motor!

If anything though, tyres/brakes and trackdays!

 

[Will.]

I would spend it on a driving holiday around Europe tbh. That is something that I want to do so badly but can't afford it

 

[Sparky]

Buy a bloody camera !
