[kyle172cup]

As with everyone money is tight but i want to make some mods to make the clio run a little faster Can you guys reccomend and help me were to start ? Im only 18 so not really been in the game long Thanks , Kyle williams

The cheap cone filter is probably causing "heat-soak" and actually costing you power, personally, get a standard airbox and run it to factory specification as Renault intended it.

Just enjoy it for what it is, as you said moneys tight, normally asspirated engine's arent cheap to realise gains from, spend your money on track days and or tuition and exploit the car for what it was built for

Were can i get a standard airbox from ? thanks

In the wanted section put up that you are looking for a standard airbox from a 172 Cup, although i am pretty sure all the 172 airboxes are the same as the engines are no different!

Recently sold my standard airbox in favour of a cone filter. Car sounds so much more aggressive now and im not bothered about heatsoak, I much prefer the 'vtec' sound change at 5200!!

Ahh see this is what i also like !! My exhaust is blowing what back box should i buy ?

Just get a full catback system, if your on stock system still itl all rot eventually anyway.

Buy a k tec stealth exhaust, if your on a budget then £230 will see you a full cat back mild steel stealth replacement. The standard exhausts are crap, infact mine fell off yesterday and now sounds like a poorly V8 lol, im waiting for k tec to deliver an exhaust to me today!

Right but i dont want a '' chavvy' sounding car if you get me ?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

It doesnt sound chavvy, its not overly intruisive at cruising speeds on the motorway either, get the hammer down and it opens it right up with a throaty growl.

Its probably the best purchase ive ever made with regard to cars, atleast on my 172 anyway

I've had a Ktec stealth. Not great, but they are cheap. Bit boomy, doesn't fit great and f**king heavy (a lot seem to sag near the centre section).
The yozza/Btb stealth systems are vastly better, but approx £400. You do get what you pay for though.

The ph1 172 airbox is different to the ph2, get the v6 airbox if possible.

I've noticed this with mine, I think a Yozza is calling me...

BTB is the one to go for if you want a top quality system which doesnt sound like a bean can, read the reviews/comments on here. Not a bad word about them, unlike Yozza and KTec

yozza exhaust with decat and standard / espace v6 airbox

What problems with the yozza?? Faultless quality.
