Gt Anyone? Ideas?

[Katie93]

Hi, so I have a clio GT 2009. Anyone else got one of these on here?
I wanna do some things, any ideas?

 

[182Trophy]

I have seen some of these about but until now thought they were 1.2's.
Things as in making it quicker?

 

[Katie93]

Oh really?

Umm yh I guess, I wanna get a exhaust system and some new alloys but they both come with a price.

Have some ideas of what is out there but don't really no the benefits and that or anyone else that has done it with this car. :/

We need a sticky of "things to do to a Clio" as this is asked way too much!
Cosmetics: Silvervision indicator bulbs, HID's if you have projectors, Heko wind deflectors, lower on springs or coilovers.
Performance: Filter, exhaust, remap but not sure if this is the best route for a GT engine.

 

[Katie93]

I have plans to get some lowering springs this month or next. Hids, heko wind deflectors, k&n air filter already done.

Don't really know what performance mods would be good for this car, would it be worth it? Would I get much gain? Something il have to look into I suppose

 

[Ethan1996]

Find more GT project threads, do a search! They'll be your best help tbh.

i have a 2010 GT and ive done exactly the same things as you (HID, Team Heko Wind Deflectors and k&n air induction kit) mines 1.6 so at the moment with the weather been icy im happy with the speed! haha

 

[Katie93]

Yh I'm quite happy with the speed, often put some boy racers to shame aha. They must think coz I'm a girl I'm not gonna have a heavy right foot... To right. Won't try tho if I no I have no chance. I know it's not the biggest engine in the world but does me good. Thinking about lowering it, coz of that massive gap. Have you done this to yours?

I had one for two years not much performance to be had out the engine with it being a 1.6 n/a I would lower it and enjoy it. Unless you have a diesel you can get more out of them I believe

twingo RS alloys

Looks a bit halfrauds IMO, makes the sideskirts look enormous, rear bumper bit looks huge too :s

Yh didn't really look into the difference of diesel and petrol I just found the car and wanted it, first one that popped up near me.... I was having it!! Lowering is the next thing but just bed a bit of advice on how low to go.

 

[Rossi1989]

Totally up to you how low you want to go personally i was going to drop it around 45mm but never got round to actually doing it unfortunately.

You don't think that is too low... ?Looking at 30mm but you can't really notice difference from original.

 

[Rossi1989]

No I think 45 is just right 30 is just over an inch so you wont see much difference IMO like you say

Ok thanks, I can only find h&r at the mo. Was looking to get eibach but most are 30mm but I wouldn't get the full 30. I think I am going to go 45mm now anyway. Do you know what h&r are like?

 

[Rossi1989]

no idea tbh i was going to go for AP coilovers but there about £500 not cheap lol

 

[roryb]

have a look on my thread. i have lowered it, BMC panel filter, HID's, and team Heko's. I have some 17" alloys at home which will be refurbished in white looking from your picture i might get white wing mirrors will looks quite colour coded Got any pictures?

 

[roryb]

I wanna get a exhaust system

I have been playing with this idea since i got mine. I just can't make my mind up i did get a quote for a fully stainless steel longlife exhaust £350 not 100% at the moment

 

[Katie93]

Oh really, that's good (I think) yh I just want a bit more of a sound to mine. If any gains that would be a bonus. Haven't really looked into it yet tho.

Yh they are expensive. Have found some h&r springs 45mm for my car but both say "only for cars with front spring plate inner diameter top 100mm" ........ CLUELESS!! :/ I do not know what the gt are.

Yh will do... I plan to get white wheels too Aha. Not recently with the white. I'll be sure to get some and post them on here soon.

THANKS

@Katie93 this is where i got my springs from. They are a German company but it works out to be £70 cheaper.
