Improvement/Mod Advice... ??? [PLEASE HELP]

[Seedy172]

Have already asked this question in another one of my threads, but not having much of a response!! Am quite new to the world of ClioSport... and just looking for some ideas with future mods basically ie. Brakes, Engine Bits, Suspension Bits, Exhaust, Stereo Kit, Anything Really... is all abit of a mine field currently!! Not looking to go chav... but just tidy it all up a little, and make it a little more responsive!! Ideally looking to spend the minimum amount of money, to get the best quality possible. Bought the car with a Pipercross Induction Kit, and sounds properly fit... so just looking to go onward and upward really.

Also, looking to tidy up the Interior a little, just bit's like new e/w handle bits, steering wheel rubber bits, revamp the seats etc... Also, not to sure how far you can go without affecting the insurance... any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Cheers.

the I.K is prob making your car slower. as u may notice there isnt enough from for a nats stiffy under the bonnet so the air flow is crappy. if you like the induction sound i'd get an enclosed kit like a IGT moxogon or BMC CDA.

i ran a open induction kit when i first got my 172 and in the summer i was dog slow.

silvervision's are a must imo too

Ye, I have been wondering bout the whole power thing... will have a look at what you have advised... defo not after making it slower!! Also, have seen a lot of comments regarding the Sportline Springs, and the Brembo HC Disc's... are they as good as everyone says they are... ps. the Silvervisions do look good!!

as you said, sport line springs and Brembo HC discs, I wouldnt bother trying to make it faster on a budget, just make it corner better and stop quicker

 

[Seedy172]

What Pads would you recommend for the Bremo HC's, and also, how much lower are we talking with the SportLine Springs?!

About 30mm lower on the sportlines

 

[Seedy172]

That sounds about right to me... just want it to sit nicer in the arches... Brake set looks good... Seems incredibly pricey though?!

 

[theduck]

think thats the pads in that kit, could also make your own kit:

It's all about the search facility

 

[Seedy172]

Anyone no which model number for the SilverVision's... And which bulbs are best for the fogs and side lights?!

 

[Seedy172]

Also... Looking to find out how I would go about having the Manifold Chromed... have seen it before, and it just looks awesome!?

 

[BRUCEY]

pardon my ignorance but whats a silvervision?

 

[Seedy172]

Lol, the silver coated front indicator light for the mk2 ph2

 

[BRUCEY]

[BRUCEY]

[CLIOWILLIAMS]

get a nightrider light for the front, alot of people on here have them or the blue wanker washer jet lights

 

[BRUCEY]

ok then nightrider it is thanks for showing me the light, no pun intended

got some chrome m3 mirrors for sale, would go well with the nightrider light and they give 30bhp as they are much lower than the standard mirrors so also improves handling as the centre of gravity is near the floor
