Clio 182
edde said:
My 182 made 201Bhp with cams, smt6, manifold match and a replacement panel filter. That was with just the standard exhaust too. Andy at GDI said he was pleased with the results as not many make 200 with just them mods. I was pleased too!
That cost in the region of £2000.
Thats with a 182 which has the better exhaust manifold and sport cat the 172 can use the 182 manifold but its about £200~300 second hand if you can get one and a few hours to fit. Then a decat or sportier ca like the 182 has is more money but need to be made to fit the 182 exhaust manifold.oneeighttwo said:My 182 made 201Bhp with cams, smt6, manifold match and a replacement panel filter.

£1700 is a good price. Who's doing the work and what are you having done? if you don't mind me asking !!

Theres talk of a guy near me who taken a valver shell, and said to have a bishi evo 6 engine and running gear, will this work/fit for the more technical minded ppl out there.??
If thats the case that must be rapid hes said to have spent the best part of 10k on it, i have seen stationary but yet to be seen on road.

If you want speed, just buy a faster car.
Like an M3
Putting money in to a car is like putting money in to a PIT
Your never getting it back when u sell it!!
I learnt the hard way.

depends if you enjoy it though, different for different people. I actually enjoy spending money on mods I know I wont get the money back for.
I'd guess mines in the top 10 speed wise... no idea really, there's a lot of uber modded Clio's about these days... Matt's obviously being the quickest overall on road or on track by some margin.

with the same driver I seriously doubt it. everyone seems to think Matt's wont handle, well news flash. It's setup on coily's and just requires a more sensitive right foot is all. With the same driver who's adept at driving a high power FWD car round a track it would murder it imo as the sheer power is just incomparible.
almaghrbi, that's the thing, it is setup, it just has a lot of power, people seem to overlook this though...
Donny, long time no see fella! hows darn saaaarf treating you?
Yeah, shock of the century I know! I part ex'd it with Clean16v and am really enjoying it, the noise is immense as is the performance... still miss the looks of the Willy though and the handling, but I needed a newer car and it was this or get something really dull for a couple of year and get an R34... this was cheaper in the long run!

Turbos.
Yozza/Fred have had the benefit of being on track seemingly every day, so must be a much better set up car and i'd imagine it stops better too. I'd trade 100bhp for instant throttle response on a track...
Obviously different tracks would be better suited to each car but on a 'typical' circuit my money would be on theirs.

the power difference is monumental though, the handling difference might be significant but not to overcome an almost 200bhp advantage. maybe on a tight, twisty, technical track, but 425bhp is just too big a power advantage and the handling cant be that much better. camber adjust on Matt's as it's already on coilovers and it's going to be not far behind in that sense
