Clio 172 Cheap Upgrades ?

Car  Clio sport 172 soon
Hey, i am looking to get a clio sport or cup 172, 53 plate in october ! Got a nice quote for only being 22(under 800). What sorta cheapish upgrades could I do ? Heard that alot of the air filters you loose power ? Post your list of ideas with prices thanks, Oh also i want my car to pass MOT's without taking stuff of the car. Cheers Alan:approve:
 
best value for money mod IMO is manifold matching.. do a search, it'll bring up plenty of details
 
lol, thanks. But a wee bit more info would be appreciated. would a 172 pass its MOT with a decat? and what air filters give performance increase's ?, thanks again
 
no - wont pass with decat.
As far as Im aware no air filters really do alot - i have a hill power filter and it works well enough - have also had a K&N and pipercross and not noticed any difference really - K&N sounded best though. Quite fancy a green cotten one or something like that next I think

most of the time a proper dcecat won't pass a sports can will though.

Best filter for power is the Viper but its expensive.
Intake manifold work (£160) then the 182 4-2-1- exhaust manifold with a bit of pipe to match up to your stock exhaust system plus an induction kit with cold air filters your best power gains for money (assuming you can do the work youself and can get hold of a cheap 182 manifold)
