If you had £500...

[Subway]

...to spend on your sport, what would you spend it on?

I need some ideas as I got a bit of cash to spend on my car.

Air filter & Suspesion have already been done.

Cheers, Adam

 

[timdog]

[Guy]

[miketheman2k]

Park the car and go on holiday

 

[M1TCH]

holidays are too short lived imo.

his suspension is awesome Guy so thats a no no. brakes are a good idea with the speeds you do adam!

 

[Maz]

exhaust? chip? mate

^^^^^:race: agree

 

[Spykee]

^^^^^:race: agree

depends what exhaust your looking at though as some of them are about £500 notes on their own!

thats about what i have to spend as well at the moment and an exhaust is top of my list :approve:

Manifold match and remap

 

[Guy]

Manifold match and remap

for 500 quid??

from whom?

 

[Spykee]

for 500 quid??

from whom?

well its £200 for a 182 manifold but your gonna need a 182 cat as well.... dunno how much that would be so i wouldnt have thought you would get a remap in that £500 as well because of fitting costs

Alex

hes on about inlet manifold mate, port matching
just over £200 from GDI.

but where can you get full custom ECU remapping from for under 300 quid?!

 

[Spykee]

oohh!! so how much is the exhaust manifold then? thats what im after

Alex

 

[Guy]

aint a clue mate.. but i THINK from what ive read its a fair bit of work to get it to mate up with the 172 system??

 

[Spykee]

well the fitting of the manifold isnt a problem as one of my best mates is a mechanic and has said he will do it for me. its a pain in the ass as you have to drop the subframe out of the car but i took it for him to look at this evening and he has said it shouldnt be too much of a problem

knowsit.

 

[clio-lane]

Manifold match £150-£200
Remap £250-£350

Can be done for £500

 

[Guy]

like i asked before.. where can you get a remap from for 250 quid?

 

[clio-lane]

Depends who you know...and what you have done. The place doesn't like advertising it's prices so I can't say. But can be done for £350 from most places I believe and the match doesn't have to be done by BenR. K-Tec do it for £130+vat

 

[Bobbywhacker]

.. severe liposuction? nothing like a bit of stripped out action!

 

[Spykee]

Depends who you know

thats useful for a forum open to the general public, this guy wants to know what he can spend his money on realistically!

Alex

 

[Guy]

well obviously. you could get a clio brand new for free if you knew the right people.

but all im asking for is somewhere that does remaps as cheap as you say they do..

 

[matty w]

You can get a ported inlet and a modified ecu from hillpower for just under £500 its about £200 for the inlet and about £280 for the remap

 

[Guy]

heard someone mention nick hill remapping before.. is this a full proper live rolling road remap?

or just them loading up another 'general' one.

Yep its a proper one,i had a before and after power run

 

[Guy]

Yep its a proper one,i had a before and after power run

if it is a full custom one then thats a good price.
will take a good few hours straight on the rollers..

 

[Fred@BTM]

spend it on cheap women, at least you'll have something to remember it by (sti - oh joy!)

[clio-lane]

where is this mystical place that you can enjoy the company of a 'lady' and get a scooby for £500

Alex

do you know if the 182 manifold and cat on a 172 will line back up with the middle section of the 172?

 

[Ali]

500£ not a productive ammount keep saving....

 

[Spykee]

do you know if the 182 manifold and cat on a 172 will line back up with the middle section of the 172?

im not entirely sure mate im still looking into it but i do know that you will need to replace the manifold and the cat for a 182 one as the manifold is longer......

im going to post for some pics underneath of both cars to see what the flanges are like etc..

[CHRIS172CUP]

Brakes, without a shadow of a doubt. What suspension have you got on now though?
