1.2 16v is a single cam engine, no cam out for it as far as i know, will need to get yours reworked, but wouldnt bother to be honest.
strip EVERYTHING its the best way to gain "power"
cat back exhaust with decat, decent panel filter and remap will gain a bit but not much and your looking at the best part of £700+ for that, not really worth it!

filter, system and remap shud show u very close to 90bhp bud, defo around tht mark, this cams lark is nonsense on a 1.2, they respond well to remapping. defo 10% gains on a standard engine.

Yeah right. He'll be lucky to get over 80 with that.
Seriously just save up for another car. It really isn't worth it on a 1200cc engine.

If the engine is healthy IE producing 75HP I'd say 85-90 is possible.

nother year for me tbh im 20 in less than a month. BITE THE BULLET. Wanted a fast car since old rob took me out in his 172 when i was 18 lol. Decided it was best to wait untill im 21 !!
REALLY wanted one lol, went without food so i could save up for it.
But you know what....suddenly dawned on me that ive actualy got the rest of my life to play with fast cars
Strip your clio out, decat it, and get a pannel filter for it.
Geezer, just dont bother, take it from me.
I owned a 1.4 Polo for two years and was so nearly tempted on a number of occasions to mess around with it modding etc, decided to leave it stone cold standard and it was def the right decision:
a) you don't spend every hard earned penny on gear to add to the car,...
b) ...which is a years time will make it virtually unsellable. I have just sold my polo for £100 less that I bought it for! Modding dramatically reduces your market.
c) your car is a 1.2..... enough said.
Instead of spending cash as I had it on car parts I just maintained the Polo to a high standard, and stashed the rest away. After a year of properly saving I was able to buy a 05 182ff cash in hand. Soooo worth it. Be patient mate, I'm only 21 and my insurance is £750 with 2 years no claims etc so just chill for awhile, it will be all worth it in the end

i got 85bhp with filter, cat back, decat (and 140k miles!! lol) and apparently they are mapping well so id say deffo 85bhp with a remap, possibly bit more!

Octavia vRS
surely all the money he would spend on that could be used for insurance money for a 1*2?
black 3 door clio 1.2 16v
i managed to make 86.1 bhp with my 1.2 16v , the only mods being stripped rear, s/s cat back exhaust system, and bmc enclosed induction and cold air feed, the car goes loads better compared to standard, if u want to spend the money , it is easily possible to make a nippy 1.2 ,
idea's :
cat back exhaust
decat
remap
filter
loose weight
good suspension setup
with those few mods i think u'd get the car your after lol performance wise

+1 I've left my 1.2 standard for over ayear now and will continue to do so for another year to retain value and save up for a 1*2 next summer. Although foxy managed to put his car back to completely standard and sell on nearly all of his parts so not loosing too much cash, that was a special car with lots of interest so parts where like oht cakes.
9 times out of 10 standard ftw, or easily reversible mods.

I've wanted to make my 1.2 faster too, but it's this that's made me think twice. If I mess around with it I'm not going to lose money on either selling the parts (and possibly buying standard parts back) to return to standard or selling the car modified.
Think of it this way - the less you spend now the more you'll have to spend on a 1*2 + insurance which means you should be able get it sooner than you think.
Saving FTL, but it's got to be done.

Removing the spare wheel, rear bench, rear carpet and bonnet felt should lose about 35Kg at a guess.
Get some lightweight alloys such as turrin’s would also help and will not be a waste of money as you could sell them on after you sell the car

i told you stripping it out is your best option , although i know you want a quality sound system ! its like a little go kart stripped out . you have lightweight wheels so thats no problem . and tbh maybe a decat would make a good addition to the system ( exhaust ) you have ! not that expensive either !
