most cost affective mods mph>££

[adam172]

being a student i never have any money and was just thinking whats the most cost affective mods/ cheap mods that with give more bhp

obviusly stripping the rear out is the best as this cost nothing (and could maybe make a few qid if you sell it all )

but what else can be done cheaply/nothing or gives best gains for the money??

cheers

The most cost effective way would be a good exhaust, sport filter replacement, and a decat.

Most will tell you just to upgrade the suspension and brakes though.

For a start get the car properly serviced as this'll make the car feel as it should and then a decent panel filter, exhaust and re-map will give you a bit more power.

Be aware you won't get much more power though regardless of what BS you get told so maybe just get the car setup properly and do an airfield day to hone your skills.

cheers iv currently got a rbracing cone filter (came with the car) would i be better with the standerd set up and a decent panel filter

[DannoTheGreat]

standard set up with a panel filter. a decent caf will be the best mod to do

 

[Craigus]

You'll be losing power with a cone filter,

Decat, remap, Strip it out

Where abouts are you from mate?

There's quite a few lads around here with nicely modded 172's in terms of power and handling, smitchell and giraffe come to mind.

dartford, well just next to bluewater tbh
i see ur from sidcup not to far we should have a meet soon i think thers a fair few from round here as u say!

I wouldn't call them cost effective as they provide very little gain. Rolling Road results have also proved that cars with a different map can be lower than ones without. Your not going to get much out of the Clio without spending at least £1000 on cams TBH

 

[adam172]

sorry for sounding dumb im not 100% sure what uprated cams give?? if thers an easy way of explaining it would be appresiated? :/

danny love ur ph1 btw
