how much would it cost and whats the benefits?
cheers

 

[Alan]

No
Alot and not much.

 

[BenR]

no, alot and nothing.

your talking single figure bhp gains.

 

[BenR]

lol!

 

[Alan]

Lol ^

 

[Alan]

Christ on a bike..lol

 

[medici999]

lol.ok then. how much do people charge for doing it tho?
would changing the inlet manifold do anything if i have a sports cat and exhaust and a viper with custom air feed?
cheers

 

[Craig]

lol at you too I wouldnt really bother imo it will cost alot for not much bhp

 

[kully]

You cant expect major gains tbh ,as it's still a small engine .

 

[medici999]

but i have it for 2years and am working part time so i want to spend money on it! i know its a waste of money but i want details of bhp gains...etc and prices. cheers

 

[kully]

Not what you want to hear , but save it for your next car .


Try stripping your car down to get a little quicker .

 

[medici999]

i get my next car bought for me, so i dont even need to worry about my next car, im getting a 172 when im 19!

 

[Craig]

lob a 172 engine best of both worlds

 

[kully]

i get my next car bought for me, so i dont even need to worry about my next car, im getting a 172 when im 19!

then save for the mods .....

 

[medici999]

i will do, but i need to know how much all this will cost to do,cant drop a 172engine in it as insure would rape me!!

 

[A18XHO]

smaller wheels would make it a bit quick and try take out as much unwated weight too ie spare wheel and tools

 

[Bradharding]

And they wouldn't rape you for all these pointless mods you are thinking about? Not worth it mate.

 

[medici999]

ok. isnt not having spare wheel illegal? circus...whenyou coming up to pc my car mate?

 

[A18XHO]

im not sure and dont really care lol, erm soon maybe next sunday when ive got time will ive you a ring during the week mate

 

[Craig]

no its no illiegal (sp) because the 182 doesnt have one

 

[medici999]

sp..illegal. cheers mate.

 

[BenR]

you'll spend a few grand and still be bored....spend a few more and you might hit 100bhp.

 

[medici999]

ok then, my wheel and tools with wheel have just come out! how much weight will that save? 15kg?

 

[A18XHO]

get rid you 17's and go with 15 or 16s and you'll be a bit quicker too

 

[medici999]

standard renault 15's or 172 16's??

 

[BenR]

or just relax and wait a few years.

 

[BenR]

or, if you were serious about going fast you'd go out and start karting.

 

[kully]

or just relax and wait a few years.

most definite ^^^^ you do need to chill :S , it's your pride and enjoy , so dont abuse it saving 15kg , wont bring warp speed

 

[JD]

weight save, IK and a good exhaust will see you through til you get your new car. best thing that i have found. . . . is to see a cliosport running quickly past you, it suddenly makes you see how little our engines are, and will make you save and aim for something bigger in a couple of years
