Yes ive been rumbled, i dont own a 172 just a 1.2 .......jokes ;-)
Im well aware that you have to rev them well over 5000rpm to even see any results from them
I came from a saxo vts with breathing mods, 4-2-1 mani, pugsport de-cat back and forced air filter set-up
I dare say both cars are exactly the same performance wise, and I think the clio isnt as fun, because you're only going as quick as a 1.6 can with minimal modifications, which leaves a sour taste in my mouth
No disrespect to the 172 though, i love it, its much better built but the costs of the extra tax, insurance and fuel bill just dont seem worth it
Im yet to modify it but after seeing some of the results on here i hope they can give the same difference the cit/pug lump can for around the same money
Mods im looking at are:
ITG panel filter
AAS Custom de-cat back system
Possibly buy another 182 manifold and fit that
Matched inlets
Rs tuner generic map
Im hoping to reach around 170 bhp with all of the above done (hope is a big word)
Well it sounds like you bought the wrong car. Better luck next time!
