So, a few updates.
Few weeks ago I had a package arrive on my doorstep, granted it was a few months late due to UPS losing it... but we got there in the end
A K-Tec Recessed Supersport. It's lovely. Car definitely has more mid-range and sounds awesome to boot. Droney as f**k when on light throttle (worse with the windows open too), but is almost dead silent when cruising, even at 100/110kmph.

By coincidence, right after installing the exhaust my engine developed a ticking noise. Turned out that it was a loose spark plug. Am rather glad I figured that out before anything bad happened.
Other things: replaced my ELF gearbox oil (only 8,000km old too) with Redline Lightweight Shockproof stuff... what a difference. Shift is amazingly smooth now.
Also had the car dynoed about a month back with the old leaky exhaust, pulled 107.3 fwkw, which is about 144hp @ the wheels and using 20% loss, pretty much bang on 173hp

Awesome wee motor - looks & sounds well
Have you spacers on too?
Cheers! No spacers, as they're illegal in Australia. The wheels have a +36 offset vs the +45 of stock wheels though.
Clio 172
They are good cars and cheap but they are the most common cars on the road and bogans (chavs to you?) love em.
Hence 'falcodores', 'common whores', 'dunny doors' etc. are not popular with people with any taste in cars.
Looking good! Exhaust sounds just right too. No hints of what the major update will be?
Nah, you'll just have to wait
Although if you look hard enough on the forum, you'll find out what it is.
