He hee!! :evil:

Were you at knock hill today? If your looking for a bhp number maybe we should hook up and do it together. I m gonna find out more about this place in Glasgow but so far more people are recommending Fife.

Its ALL ABOUT THE CAMS. Without them you maybe increasing peek output but only to a limited 'high' end of the rev counter. You should get a remap aswell.

Well i have the 182, with a k&n gen 2kit, de-cat. 2.5 inch ss full system + the grp n ecu remap to suit all mods, so all i need is my manifold matching. just don't have the cash for the cams.lol. just bough 800quid of uprated mods for it of k-tec aswell. need to win the lottery.
 
  BMW M3
Ive got RStuning remap, ITG Panel filter, inlet manifold match, Sports cat and Janspeed Exhaust as engine mods. Have a few other things like Eibach sportlines etc...

Got my 36k service coming up so would prob want that done before a RR. Will prob be heading over to fife.

hm doubt id make it for your lunch hour. demo would be good though, just not sure if id be around at the time you say ... women :rolleyes:
ive not used them, a few mates have though and said it was good. but as ive got no experience i cant really comment.
 
  BMW M3
Yeah.. would be, as we seem to be needing RRs soon. Although i think Donz would want his sharpish.

Dastek also have a good rolling Road (Dalgety bay) but id rather not due to previous experience of their service. Although i think a few off here have been happy there.
 
  PH1 Oddy, M140i
Donz needs his done by the 4th of January!

Im then off to france...where I will be RAISING the car 80mm and fitting 15inch wheels with snow tyres for a season of fun fun fun!! This car is deadly in the snow, which is cool seen as though I make my living from the stuff.

Let me know when and where dude. I just moved back to Edinburgh having been in Birmingham for a year. I have no contact with the CS scene here at all.

Having said that i've missed the last few...Weathers s**t, but the meets are normally entertaining! I'm Looking forward to seeing yours go...Avoid Star performance i wasn't impressed!

For RR's i've used 2. Both dastek & Star. 192.6bhp Then 186.2 at star! I was moapy that day! Shitty fan and a single run! Useless!

I hope you have no problems...

^ Go to dalgety bay! Much better set up! Circa 40£ if your on your own! Pricey i know. Stoddie ran 207 iirc...But he's got a 182 mani on his similar mods tho.
 
I used to have the same cams, inlet match, smt6, viper, decat and s/s custom exhaust. Mine made 195bhp.

I don't want to spoil your thread mate but although mine did seem quicker, it wasn't that much quicker at all.

182's have a supposed 10bhp more but are still no faster.

IMO you need a massive bhp increase to be any quicker than a standard clio, it's not like your going to wipe the floor with them.

When I had my old 172 on itbs, I had a little rolling race with tomehb in his 172 cup and really struggled to blast passed him. It was pretty neck and neck upto 100mph and then i started to gradually pull away. My £6-7k worth of mods compared to his induction kit and exhaust?

£300 for a manifold match? bloody hell did they use a nail file for the cost of that labour?
 
  Clio 172 mk2
I couldn't bring myself to spend 1500/2000k on my Clio but I suppose it depends on how much you drive it and how much your into the scene etc.

Got mine serviced on Friday and it still goes without leaking & any probs so I'm happy.
 
Donz, dont listen to the doubters regarding the RR graphs etc, my car which is Chris K's old car went and made 203.8bhp @ wheels, or if you want fly wheel figures bang on 240bhp at Ric Woods rollers (who comes highly recommended to me by people with half a clue). It made 175 @ the wheels with a faulty sensor... crank one iirc? Either way I'd imagine it should pull away from a standard car fairly comfortably, watch out for comment from the likes of Stoddie, Ali and Big Iain, as they all have an axe to grind, so unless it puts out 800bhp at the wheels it wont impress them ;)

Good on you though, Andy's work is top rate, will deffo use his services again myself.

LOL! 801Bhp and you've got a deal mate! :)
 
is that at the wheels or the fly though? that kinda power and the downhill slalom at Crail would give amazing 1/4 mile times :rasp:
 

Ali

  V6, Trackhawk, GTS
HAHA! Why do you think the times are so impressive! ;)

Scottish air...Because lets face it, it's the best bit of GB!

Actually crail is uphill and to get a good time you have to avoid the potholes so imo it's harder than pod! lol
 
ohhh touchy!

hardly after the 20'000 threads bashing GDI, was more forewarning him before he has you three band wagon'eers trash talking his car and the work done.

and Ali... there's nothing good about GB... well, maybe apart from the ferry and plane routes out the place... i hate this country lol
