Clio Renault Sport 197 Performance Mods

Hellou to everyone

This is my first post in cliosport.net so be gentle with me :boring:

So I have owned Clio 197 bit over year now and I would like to have bit more power (like we all do :rasp

So the basic question would be that what can I do to improve Clio bhp output ? I have done some research already, like ITG panel filter for k-tec and some cat-back exhaust system but I was wondering what would be best solution for me? Trying to find exhaust that don't blow my ears off and still could produce some real bhp:s (I hope you guys understand what I trying to find )

I was thinking going with Milltek but those tailpipes look so awful Someone said that Milltek could also be ordered with orginal slash cut look?

So basically I start from ITG then some cat-back and finally remap my ecu? Would this be the best solution or are there better solutions (I would like to hear those if there are any?)

btw. sorry for my English writing skill, like you already probably noticed this isn't my mother language.

PS. I do live in Finland so I can't really come to UK to get my Clio remapped:star: Does that RSTuning for fastchip really work?

Power increases are difficult to come by on a 197. Filter and remap will see slight and I mean VERY slight improvements, cat back echaust even with map will cause a flat sport at 2500rpm. Even cams that will run on standard ECU wont give huge gains.

TBH, I wouldnt bother, unless you got 5k+ to blow.

I have read that same thing before

Do I even notice performance difference between standard and bit tuned Clio? I mean that is it just waste of money or do I get some fun out of it?

And about that tbh, I don't own that kind of money because I'm student. Although it would be great to own that kind of mod because then my Clio would be unique in Finland (actually it is because in Finland there are only about 10 registered Clio 197)

Finnish government don't like idea of tuned cars in Finland so probably police would hang me if I would caught with TBH in my Clio

well ive noticed a huge difference after having k tec exhaust on.

Our definition of huge must be different

well to notice that a car pulls alot better through the gears is a huge difference as many people will say you will not notice a slight increase.

What do they do with the 197 R3 Maxi to get 230hp? If i remember correctly it is pistions, cams, management, exhaust and inlet?
