powertec apparently sound the best due to the metal mesh design, not so good for power due to it heating up and not sure how good it is at filtering?!

i saw u before, in the village, bout 3/4 ish. noticed the RS grill first, i was in the dark blue clio, wit the RS grill, passed each other outside the post office, im one of jamie n chris' mates

You can't just fit a generic k&n to a 1.4/1.6 16v though unfortunately, you'll need some piping as the throttle body is at the back of the engine for some reason.

Couple of options there: http://www.k-tecracing.com/catalogue.asp?app=Clio 2&category=Engine

Yeh i used the ramcharger piping and a filter.

Correct, I remember replying then. Glad I wasn't imagining it, also iirc hes got a ticking timebomb of a cambelt that would be better changed than spending money on i/k thats he's not going to declare.

No offence dude, but you need to sort out your priorities imo. No money for a cambelt, but dosh for colour coding, an air filter, plus a wanted ad for 172 parts.


Don't screw at us on here when your belt does go snap !

Agree'd. Problems/maintanance always come first

I think that a K&N induction kit would do fine, cheers.

no one seems to understand how would i attach that to a 1.6?

 

[Martin_172]

you dont want to change the cambelt its to much money?! haha thats quote of the year on here!!

you do realise what happens when the cambelt snaps, like they do when their not changed, dont you?

I've told him a few times before, he'll be complaining when a £300-400 job becomes a £1k+ one when it snaps (and it will). I hope i'm proven wrong for his sake.

[Martin_172]

wooo hoooo

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

im going to the local garage where i did work experiance see if i can get a good deal!

Welcome to the worl of cars mate. You need to maintain it before modifying it.

 

[superbenji88]

i had a metal power tec on my 1.2, that thing was loud, so i bought one for my 1.6 that thing is not loud

my mate just bought a pipercross for his 1.6 and that thing sounds MEAN!

 

[Middo]

if you can afford it get a viper, it made the world of difference on my 1.2. this is how it was attached, not sure about the ins and outs on a 1.6

 

[.J.a.m.e.s.]

a 1.6 is diff to a 1.2 il take a pic

 

[superbenji88]

i took my air box off and just attacked the piping straight onto the engine.
was a tight fit though as the silcone hosing is 70mm and the air inlet is 80mm so its just a temp fix as im sure it will fall off, but it makes a really good ANGRY noise
