Clio cup 172
Hey there,
I have decided to take my clio of the road and renew some things. It has done 98,000 miles drinks plenty of oil and a few month back it blew the spark plug out the head. I managed to re-thread the head and fit a new spark plug but have decided it's time to spend some money on her. I would like to keep the car a road car and I'm just after some opinions on what to buy and get. At the moment the list is:
Catcams 438
Catcams solid lifters
Catcam uprated valve springs
King racing big end and main bearings
Apr bolts
New oil pump and spray jets
Wossner 11:8:1 forged Pistons
Oversized valves
Ported head
Gen90 Ecu
Lightweight pulleys and flywheel
I thought I'd post this and get some opinions because from what I've read the forged Pistons knock and don't last very long in a road car and you don't get to many gains from oversizing the valves I would also like to know if the setup I'm after is worth doing or just keep the engine standard.
