Modding a 1.2 extreme sport

[Dyl]

Hi I have a mk3 1.2 16v Exreme Sport (2006 first of the new shape)in red only a baby clio i know and so far i have a good ICE setup and recently put some 17 inch ripspeed mondellos on it (will be posting some pics soon) and its starting to look sweet. But where do i go from there? I want to drop the ride height on it possibly by 30 mil but im not sure whats the best springs and dampers to get. Its the first time ive modded a car and while its only a 1.2 its pretty nippy and its shamed a few corsas and its seen 115 mph shocking for a small engine so im hoping to squeeze some extra bhp from it so if anyone knows how much more i can get from 75bhp please let us know.

There is only one thing you can do to a Mk3 IMO.

Slam it on coilovers!

That's a members car from here BioHzrd.

looks really nice lowered and the black alloys and color coded side strips gives it a more aggresive look.

Saw a mint Red 1.2 at the local dealers.

Had the 16" the same as Biohzrd's in black, the badges were sprayed black and it was on coilovers.
Wouldn't recommend 30mm you won't notice it, needs to be 50+

bhp wise not much you can do to the 1.2, cheapest is to get a replacement air filter K&N or the likes in the standard box, if you have cash a decent exhaust and thats about it really!

[Dyl]

There she is. You can see straight away that it needs lowering and is it a good idea 2 colour code the plastic trim?

Lol wanting to go faster yet your carring around that fusion sub.

Only 1 way to make a 1.2 quicker, strip it out!

Or drop a 2.0 in it

Erm, I'd lose the alloys for something a little less s**t. Then go from there.

 

[sofaboy]

Take off the C L I O

Take the guff out of the back window

Then deck it

 

[alex-avfc]

Ripspeed 17s and bangin subs y0!

 

[BlackedOutClioMK3.]

what alloys are these and how did you get them painted?

 

[Struggler]

down and out on nice wheels,

pretty much the only thing worth doing on a non-sport imo!!
everything else i think renault did a good job on, maybe some OEM+ bits here and there and some colour coding.
