needing ideas on 182 modifying

[ross2786]

needing some ideas on products to modify my motor

suspension kits, exhaust systems, engine management
any other ideas would be much appreciated

What do you want from the car?

 

[ross2786]

more power
sound
looks

all about weight. not much point trying to mod the 182 engine, unless you want to spend massive amounts on it.

strip it.

 

[ross2786]

any ideas on wat make of exhaust is best, ive read about janspeed and it can add 7bhp, but alot of shops are saying magnex are good

 

[daviebroon]

imo magnex are the best for off the shelf, and prospeed are best for custom-ish

get a megane sport 225 foot rest it goes so well with the pedals better than that plastic one.

About £35 inc VAT from renault.

 

[quickshift]

hmmm i like that idea

 

[T3RRY]

I collected mine from renault today my 182/172 pedal im collecting friday as they are coming from france a great mod. i have a mk2 ph1

Springs are cheap way of lower the car. But I'd personaly change dampers and wheels as well or not at all dampers make the whole package work but add the price.
Intake manifold work and remap for cheapish power.

I wasn't happy with the Maxnex on my 172 but the 182 one may be different.

didn't fit great and weighed loads!

people on here don't rate the magnex as for the janspeed 7 bhp is a bit optimistic (sp) maybe with a de-cat you might get about 5 bhp, imo the main reason for putting a stainless exhaust on is to improve the looks and the sound of the car and it will not rust like the renault one.
i'm thinking of the janspeed as it is supposd to be too loud on m-ways and not as boomy as some other makes and it is not that expensive it's also a LOT lighter than the std one

blue flame exhaust

 

[ross2786]

what like is the blue flame ive seen alot of them on ebay, is the throttle response any better and what about noise not sure

 

[rich[182]]

Janspeed + AWT matched inlets better than a £600 exhaust, aimo of course :rasp:

 

[ross2786]

whats the difference between that and exhaust??

 

[ross2786]

think going to go ahead with janspeed if not will get a custom pipercross made would this be wise
