Best performance mods for My mk3 1.5dci 106bhp

[Stompylad]

I recently bought a 1.5 dci Clio. It is the 106 bhp version and I have had it remapped to 136. I was just wondering what people think are the best mods for power gains? Any advice would be welcome

You've already done the best mod for power gain

Yea just wanted to get a bit more from it , also is a decat exhaust a good idea? Pretty new to the whole car modding scene so just going off what I’ve heard. Thanks

If you want to go faster then the best thing to do is decent tyres, uprated brake discs + pads and suspension.

I would usually suggest in that order followed by the power increase.

Cheers mate, planning on doing the suspension next anyways. Sounds good to me tho

You've had the easy stuff, now you've gotta decide if it's worth continuing or just selling as is and buying a 197.

The amount you'd have to spend to get a 1.5Dci 106 just upto a 197 would be staggering.

Enjoy the cheap motoring, remap and panel filter and leave it as it is

Yea don’t really have a massive selection of cars at 18 only just got insured on this 1.5 Was just asking if there was anything people recommended.

Well if you modify it you’ll have to declare it to your insurer and it’ll end up being just as expensive as insuring a 197, probably long before you get to 197 pace too.

Yea was just thinking of throwing a bigger engine in it next year. I know it ain’t cheap but I like the car and just think it’s a bit of fun eh

Yea yea was just asking what people think , like I said I’m new to all this

I know it would cost a tone to have someone do it but could I get a 197 engine put into it?

 

[McGherkin]

Cheaper and easier to just buy a 197.

Enjoy the economy for a couple of years, get some ncb and then buy a rs if you want more power

Put a new engine in it mod

People declare mods? I thought that was a myth like the earth being round

 

[R3k1355]

If you don't then the police will do it for you, which isn't very cost effective.

I never declared mods as a youngster, now I’m old I do because it makes f**k all difference to my premium.

I wouldn’t bother chasing ‘power’ now. Possibly do the exhaust for some more noise and then just slam it in the weeds with some nice wheels and jobs a carrot. Possibly get a decent stereo, as well.

Try to do mods that you can take off and possibly sell to cut down on the amount you’ll lose when you eventually sell.

Shell V Power and only make sure the engine oil is only half way on the dip stick. Lower friction = more power.


LOL

Light wheels and remove interior. Makes a noticeable difference with my Swift.
