Hi rsNick, welcome to ClioSport!

Welcome

Welcome.

Why is 200bhp your target?

 

[rsNick]

tbh i dont know, i just want it to be my own little toy lol
i want to get it to go quick as i can and thrt 200bhp would be a reasonable but challenging target?

what do you think, unreasonable?

 

[Goodj]

unreasonable?

Not nessecarily, just expensive.

 

[MarkCup]

All depends on how deep your pockets are.

Easily tuneable these French pocket rockets are not.

To get a genuine 200bhp you're looking realistically at cams and ITBs, so budget around about £3k - £5k.

 

[rsNick]

how much money we talking? lol

 

[rsNick]

Yeah was thinking about 2-3k

What about 2nd hand do Itb's come along 2nd hand very Often?

 

[rsNick]

do they come up 2nd hand very often? i really want it to be my own little rocket lol

what would give the best power gains under a budget then?
