sooo about 3 months go i bought a silver 1.2 8v ph2 Clio with and im looking to do some modifications on it but im in need of some ideas ?? might sound abit silly but is there anything i can do to increase the power etc... was thinking of an induction kit but im not sure if its worth it?

thanks

No point in increasing power mate, wait until you get something more powerful! and induction kit only really makes it sound abit better.

Just make it look good and then save for something faster.

No point in spending a fortune on a slow car. Trust me, I know.

Agree with bonxy, before i came on cs.net i wanted my 1.2 chipped?!?! dafuq was i thinking... anyways, check my thread out for idea's or what ever search "Project benga"

You'd be better off making the brakes and suspension perform better, as this is an easy process. Getting more power from the 1.2 is going to be very difficult.

Buy the most obscene audio setup your funds will allow. A grand on stereo equipment will put a much bigger smile on your face than coilovers and alloys.

Remember.. Bitches love bass!!

Just go for looks mate, too much money needed to make a 1.2 8v just a tiny bit quicker, build up your no claims and driving experience, and in no time you'll be able to get a quick car.

i would go for audio route a set of DECENT! front components ie focal, hertz, jl etc not halfords trash linked to a clean sounding amp, pheonix gold, genesis etc and a clean punchy sub is all you need in a clio to make it rock just make sure you dynomat your doors and boot, (rattles suck), failing that if your desperate for speed the best thing you can do is strip it take out the back seats, parcel shelf, carpets etc you will never have a fast car just a slightly faster than average slow car

lol thanks for all the ideas and that but i think ill do the wise choice and save for a 172

As said just save the cash at the end of the day to everyone else it's a 1.2. I learned this once getting a 182 worth the wait.

sorry bit of an amateur is there much difference between a 172 and 182 ?

In theory 10 bhp, but in reality you'd be very lucky to find a 182 producing 182bhp.
182 also has twin exhaust, different wheels, different exhaust manifold and a few other bits.
