YO...you in Bahrain dude.. I lived their for 3 years!! I used to work in Hav-a-Java in seef mall.

I have spent thousands on my 172..best mod I have to say was my LEDA coilovers but they are expensive!! Best mod for your buck especially in the 197, is having a custom exhaust built. They sound so lame as standard and this will unlock some more ponies.

Otherwise I would suggest some expensive rubber..YOKO PRADA SPEC 2's!!

Brakes, Tyres, suspension, exhaust

Great cars to drive, quick etc well speced realy etc.
Good in a crash and handle well.
Weekness its a french wiring and build but you go get good and bad ones
Transmission it terriable realy no nicity to it. Changing the oil makes it feel a bit smooother less like stiring porridge.

Best bang for buck is learing to drive it properly but for Hp etc the intake manifold rework £180 or so

cool... thanks guys

what about removing the cat? A friend of mine reoved it on his 182 and fixed test pipe and the sound of his car became awful!! It sounded like fart!!!!

One more thing, what is the cheepest source for Clio performance parts?

Best bang for buck is the inlet manifold match....under £200 over here in GB

Get a closed induction. Zorst with Decat or sports cat, ecu remap, inlet matched, coilovers, brake upgrade and some decent tyres. Sorted!!!
