Hi,
with my clio 172 cup project near completion and in the spray booth this week, ive started to look into what mods im going to do to it. Ive already got a k-tec stealth exhaust thanks to our group buy as well as an ITG panel filter. Ive been searching the forum for a few weeks and it seems there is a plethora of opinions as to what are the best mods for your money. Ive already spoke to BenR and ive organised to get the manifold work done when he gets back from Asia (10th jan i think) and i have been toying with the idea of having the ecu remapped using the piggy back system Ben offers. However, having rolling roaded, remapped (and live mapped) previous BMW's and fords i find £500 a bit steep. its not a criticism of Ben's pricing but the actual cost of the unit. Are there any other options? ive looked at group n ecu's but ive not heard good things about them really so im unsure? basically i thought we could put down what mods we think are best with a budget of £1000-1500, based on a standard clio 172 cup (52 reg), k-tec stealth exhaust and an ITG panel filter. im looking for the best £'s-bhp ratio, as spending silly money to get it close to 200bhp isnt really a viable option, id sooner sell my car and buy a skyline or something! lol id also like peoples opinions on what would make a car attractive in terms of 're-sale' value? so id be interested to hear what people have to say?!? ..........................and so it begins!
