Manifold and Brakes...

[clio head]

i no you get these questions all the time am in sure every1 is fed up to the back teeth.. i did a search and i didnt find what i wanted to find out so0o here it goes...

I wanna do a few more mods to my Valver.. 1st is a new manifold to go with my full d-catted system ive had my eye on this one for some time http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=380 what are peoples views on these.. i never believe what ppl write about there products on there sites coz they always over hype, just wanna no wat r you views on em gd or not worth bothering, Also breaks im after some uprated ones.. im lookin at doin a few more track days this year but i mainly use my car for road use i love the look of bigger brakes but is it just worth gettin standard pads and disc's or spendin a lil more money and gettin something that will stop me quicker and will look the nads... once again lookin on the K-tec site ive had me eyes on these.. http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=201 just once again what are your views, are there better brakes on the market for the same kinda price also i dont wanna pay over the odds for em.....

fort i would tell you my mods so far so you can see if its worth gettin the manifold.... Piper X IK, up rated plugs and leads, K-tec K3 full stainless system with D-cat... and not like ya need to no FK Coilovers....

As far as im aware - the 1.8 16v comes with a 4-2-1 manifold as standard so I doubt you would notice any difference with the K-tec one on there. As for the leads - I doubt you would notice any difference either. I wouldnt bother with an induction kit as you would probably lose power. Try keeping the standard airbox and getting a replacement foam element filter instead. Depeneds if you prefer the noise tho as for the brakes I havent heard anything bad about the 280mm ones, infact I'll probably get some myself eventually

well with the IK ive got a direct cold air feed goin to it.. so its always cold air.. i no u will prob lose some but the noise from it is awsome!!! leads i have noticed a difference with the plugs.. the revs feels alot smoother and it picks up quicker thats about it and also i dont think they had been changed for years lol.... soo manifold probs wont to worth it... any1 else agree with this? cheers mate is well

Those brakes are for looks only IMO much better ways of uprating the braking for less.

As for the manifold I wouldn't bother 2.0 engine first. I had one no point reanly IMO.
