Newbie just got a clio 172 phase1

[P111LTL]

Hi all,
Just purchased a black phase 1 172 a lot of questions to ask i have around 2k to spend tuning it where would you start and also want suspension. Where do i start i am thinking about getting the k tec manifold and decat and a full system as to what i dont know i quite fancy a twin exit and it has to be as raspy as possible any recommendations or am i going to have to custom make 1? Also where can i buy a ram air style filter as it has a open green on it and it gets way too hot!!!. Any coilover recommendations or something i could add to the list , i have previously had a cammed VTS so wouldnt mind doing the same any recommendations and prices on that would be helpful.
Sorry to blabble on a bit
Cheers
Phil

Welcome..

how much you looking at spending on coilovers? i ordered my H&R's this morning, heard they are one of the best sets around.. £750... failing that FK's also seem to be popular..

not much use on the engine side tbh...

Please don't get a twin exhaust - it'll spoil your lovely car. And put the standard airbox back in, with a decent filter.

Welcome Mr, Where bouts in the country you from though m8?
if you are in yorkshire you are more than welcome at any of our meets, and you would be welcome at meets all over if you are not from round here, take a look, get some ideas and questions answered

I am based in north wales, wouldn't mind going to a meet . Where did you get the coilovers from them prices seem good? I just found GDi do cams for 1550 very interesting, however i would prefer to start with a good full system decat and manifold the k tec one seems steep i paid 250 for my last manifold and it looks a lot better quality too not a clio one but why so dear ?

Hi mate,

I used to have a Ph1, great cars.

For your budget i would get the FK Coilovers, a decat pipe and the Yozzasport stainless exhaust system. Any dosh left over i would get some inlet work done and a RS Tuning remap.

sounds like a nice car mate good luck with it.....may be a long shot but are you the same guy who offered me your vts and 300 quid for my 172 on pistonheads?

 

[P111LTL]

Do yozzasport do a exhaust for the phase 1? I couldnt seem to find one on their site for ps1. Answer to the last question i sold my VTS to a friend its still on the drive waiting to be picked up she is a minter i hope the 172 is up to the job of replacing it . My budget might become a bit bigger soon as i have some other items for sale my old bike cagiva mito if anyone is interested .
Cheers
Phil
