not keen on the wheels but mighty fine example of a ph-quick

you do know that that airfilter will be sucking in hot air and so cause a fairly large drop in torque and power?

[msm]

Yeah just waiting for my new Airfilter.. :dapprove:

Aint a ph-quick mate

Stick your standard box on with an itg or an enclosed induction kit if i were you too mate, i saw fantastic improvements on my cup when changing the k&n cone i bought it with for a bmc cda

Lovely clean looking car mate

 

[msm]

Thanks Dan!! What do you think about this one!??

[Mikey]

was gonna say, doesnt look like a ph quick to me, very nice motor though

Yeah mate, should do a better job than the open kit, not heard much about them though to be honest.. id go for a BMC carbon dynamic airbox myself as i have one and rate it highly...cost around 160 quid if i recall correctly. If youve got a spare 350 odd quid though you could get an ITG maxogen for the best performing induction kit you can buy

 

[msm]

Great Thanks!!

[swell]

just to add? i had a pipercross viper on my clio 182 and lost 5bhp.. £240 down the drain

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Thanks Dan!! What do you think about this one!??

I had one of those . It strangled the engine , lost the 5k kick and definitely lost power

 

[DynamoDave]

If it's a decent enough filter...why notjust make your own cold air box for it and save some £££'s?

That's what I'm doing to my 182.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Get yourself a Green cotton cone filter , custom made airbox , job done

Heard good and bad about the viper, nothing about the apollo though. Have found that the bmc performs very well and looks/sounds the part. Will be no better for performance than standard box with itg panel though no doubt. Just get a nice roar from it and it looks good. I bought it to replace the open cone the car came with

like i said, have experienced the standard airbox with itg panel, k&n open cone, BMC CDA, and Itg maxogen, and the BMC performs very well if you cant stump up 350 quid for the maxogen!

It's strange. Like the plates tho.

 

[GarethM]

nice

not too keen on the wheels
id go back to standard imo

 

[msm]

It's strange. Like the plates tho.

Why is it Strange??...

 

[AstoN]

Cause you're on ClioSport, if it's not got turini's or standard wheels then it looks strange to this lot.

I quite like it, but agree about the air filter, it'll sound good but will lose some power.

 

[Ian_182]

Great effort with the cleaning

 

[msm]

Cause you're on ClioSport, if it's not got turini's or standard wheels then it looks strange to this lot.

HEHEHEH...

Its not that strange ... I am working on my Custom Build Airflter and will post some pictures when ready...

[HartZ]

[msm]

Thanks Thanks!!!...

 

[Dan172+]

Wheels arent bad buddy, i quite like them

I think they look pretty tidy too mate, nice clean car thats abit different

 

[Leeshez]

Nice

 

[adamRS]

Wheels arent bad buddy, i quite like them

Me too, I likey.

Strange how I also thought straight away f**k me that air filter will be strangling power! We've all been cliosport brainwashed!!!

 

[msm]

Now i feel better about my wheels hahaha...

By the way i got Federals 204-45-16 and i like them a lot!! Nice handling fo me...

I had Nankangs, i dont know if its spelled coorrectly, but i didnt like them; It was a nightmare when i had to break, the Clio felt horrible....!!!
