172 Ph1 2001
As I have a Phase 1 Clio 172 Y reg for a track toy, Ive decided I can spend a Grand (£1k) ish a year on playing around with it, and where possible include track time of half dozen shows and track days a year
The budget was pretty much blown this year for the belts, dephaser etc etc which came in around £625, the rest went on a couple tyres (AD08r's) track days and track time at shows. (I don't count the cost of hotels, fuel, meals to keep wife happy etc etc) with one a lydden and one at Brands, in addition to Blyton, to go. (I may go a tidge over a Grand ;-)
Bcos the car is year 2001 I am not going mad, and the final things I would like to do before considering anything else, is matched inlets (I have a bored out throttle body which may help), RS Tuner remap, and a sportscat or legal easyflow cat (CBA to keep taking a decat pipe off)
So, what do i do first- am thinking RS Tuner. But I do have a set of matched inlets, which, whilst I can see the smoothing work done to the ports, really cant see than making any noticeable difference to torque as some suggest?
And a sportscat, some say that the phase 2 172 Cat, which I think ive got, was pretty close to minimum amount of Cells you can get away with anywhere
What you think?
