Do you prefer it to your 182 then mate?
oh yes, the Cup was ace but with the paintwork and stripes it just shouted 'nick me.' Plus my former lady friend hated driving it due to the attention it got. The 172 is far more subtle plus it has 99.98% of the 182 performance and added fuel economy which is a bonus. Overall, i really should have bought a 182FF or a second hand Vee but thats life. Just can't wait til monday week.

Just admit it, you miss the performance of the C2, that's why you're having to upgrade the 172, it just doesn't cut it.
lol can only be!
cup 182 mit stripes
Nice one S77!! Is that the 'sale' package? I'm currently getting the bread together for a major power upgrade myself, and am agonising over who's getting the contract. bbtuning are def out of running. k tec too far away.
That leaves 4 contenders. GDI are the only ones who get regular media coverage and seem to be going from strength to strength, in spite of some initial f**k ups[eg stoddie]
My heart tells me BenR is the man for my Clio. But a niggling suspicion of him being unreliable haunts me. Lets wait for his promised ground breaking goodies before we pass judgement.
YozzaSport. When I get a new exhaust it will be theirs, a cheaper but just as good version of Supersprint. They are in the running, and not only because Fred is such a helpful guy.
That leaves Nick Hill. An old school tuner,honest to the extent that it hurts his business. You've got to respect him for that.Also, he has developed stuff that has proved effective. A one man band working from a shed, you'd think his prices would be cheaper. No way Pedro!! Who cares, we love our Clios and spending money on them.

Well I haven't got the car back yet. But GDi have been very good with me (as always) and have even given me a car to run around in while the work is being done. my car was RR'd before the work was done and made a peak power of 175bhp, I'd expect the work to add another 15-20bhp. But I won't find out for a while as the car is elsewhere.

I love you shaun! How are the warm nights in going?
Yes very! Their Andy's pics he sent to me. To keep me date with the rebuild a couple of days ago. Seriously fella, if you gonna spent ££££ on a Clio call Andy, he knows his stuff and won't let you down. The others in the business (Becky, Mark) are just as passionate and friendly. Hes a great bloke and won't muck you about, if he says it will be done, it WILL be done.
Just do it!

Lucky git, I want mine done , really missing it.
Well....
Picked her up last night from GDI, and boy what a machine. The sum total of the rebuild includes:
Cams
Inlet manifold
ECU remap
New GDI spec 2.25 inch exhaust (cat back)
High flow panel filter :rasp:
The all important peak power figure is now 195 bhp at 7500 rpm . The whole car is now so much quicker than the standard car. The power deliver is much more linear but still deverstatingly quick. Fuel consumption hsn't dropped too much only a few mpg's on average. Plus there is now massive amounts of torque low down. The car is a total blast now, my usual drive to work is 10 minutes, but I got up extra early to enjoy some traffic free thrashing!
