Got a bit of money, what to do.

Hi all,

I've got about 1K to spend on the weee clio. It needs a new exhaust and CAT (soon to be silenced decat) so about 700quid will be going on the BTB (if the GB goes ahead) and decat. what should i spend the other £300 on?

Was toying with popping over to CNC heads in stockport and having the inlets done, but it's RS stamped anyway, so is there any point?

Brakes.

I'd spend it on getting a new head liner, and a interior carpet, but that's just me.

700 quid seems dear for an exhaust/decat

how about vibratech engine/box mounts?

 

[Gally]

Brakes.

+1 Such an overlooked modification.

Brakes and steering wheel. (Smaller one)

brakes are already done. Want to keep the interior as it is for now.

I take it, by looking at your other threads, that you've done suspension, brakes and tyres already?

How about an RS tuner or remap to take full advantage of the new exhaust?

Or vibratechnic engine mounts?

failing that i would spend the 300 on driver training courses, i done one and it improved my track skills quite a bit, a more effective mod than anything else will ever be

not done suspension yet. Don't know whether to save for coilovers really. Was thinking about Prolines, but don't know if i can be arsed faffing with the fronts

You can get vmaxx collies for 400 quid. 350 if a group buy is set up

didn't think they fit on the cupped 182 hubs?

I went to kwik-fit last week as my exhaust had started to rattle, they quoted me £900 for genuine Renault backboxes + £300 for their cat, £1200 for a mild steel system!, or £800 for their full stainless exh + cat(£1100),
I told them i could get a K-tec/ janspeed for around £350 + cat (£280 ish), they then said they dealt with Janspeed and the price was £394 fitted + cat ie about £700!
Kwik-fit or K-tec?
I think it will be K-tec for me!- similar price but a proper exhaust, hopefully.

get sum matched inlets well worth it m8

A total waste of money if he already has RS stampted inlets imo

Was about to say the same. So many people have asked me if I've remapped my Meg, and doing that would be pointless, I'd rather spend the money on learning to drive the car better.

RS stamped manifolds are better but still not good by any means some of them even RS ones all differ
