£500 to spend

[DJRowlando]

wat would you personally buy for your clio with 500 bucks?

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Which Clio do you have?

 

[Bodge!]

myself, bucket seats

 

[Riley!]

tyres and track days

 

[kevo66]

brakes

 

[DJRowlando]

standard engine ph2 172 wit coilies myself but i wanna see wat others would buy, may give me ideas for my own.

 

[Daniel]

Does it need anything?

Cambelt? New brakes? New rubber?

 

[DJRowlando]

nah its pretty sound

 

[172Ben]

coilovers

or i agree with the above, tyres and track days

 

[Daniel]

A decent set of buckets and a decent steering wheel then.

 

[Jamie]

£500 for decent coilovers?

With £500 I would get some sport line lowering springs (2nd hand - some in for sale for £100) with the remaining £400 either a cup spoiler or Turinis.

 

[172Ben]

Vmaxx

 

[The Boosh!]

A decent set of buckets and a decent steering wheel then.

Be lucky to get a decent pair of buckets and a steering wheel for £500 wouldn't you ?
?

 

[DJRowlando]

its got coilies. fk konigsports to be precise. lol. and a set of white oz superturismos i reckon it needs more power

 

[172Ben]

Solid topmounts - £150
matched inlets - £138
rs tuner - £170

[jordan172]

f**k the clio....go to vegas

 

[Vicky.]

I'd have to agree with Kevo and say brakes are always a good investment

 

[Jamie]

You don't need 4pots on a Clio unless doing track work. Standard brakes are absoloutley fine.

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Id got for buckets!

 

[powey]

exhaust

 

[DJRowlando]

r matched inlets actually 15bhp or just 1 or 2?

 

[172Ben]

Dont think you will get 15bhp from inlets really.

 

[powey]

depends on the quality of your originals

I can do an rstuner remap for you if you want?

 

[DJRowlando]

thas another thing i wanna know. is rs tuner any good or am i better off getting a proper remap done by jamsport or k-tec

 

[powey]

rs tuner is adequate for a standard engine

 

[DJRowlando]

pm me how much?

 

[The Boosh!]

Secondhand you goon.

[DJRowlando]

good spotting

 

[Sir_Dave]

Can you actually drive? Best to get the most from what you have before throwing money down the toilet imho.

My suggestion = brakes + tuition/track days.

A good driver will show a coilovered + tuned 172 the way home in a 1.2. Search for Fred. He can pilot an automobile as far as im aware.

 

[LouisQ]

I wouldnt look at power. For £500 all you will get is more noise

 

[DJRowlando]

i was thinking matched inlets and a remap but im a bit put off the idea now lol

 

[aberdeen172sport]

182 manifold & cat and maybe a new magic tree with the change

 

[Mick182]

Exhaust...me personally though id get coilovers as im rolling in a boggo 182!

 

[nathanH]

Wouldnt have agreed with you 4 weeks ago, but now ive got a Trophy I see your reasoning!

tyres and track days

 

[DJRowlando]

soo the answer is put the £500 quid towards a trophy. lol

 

[powey]

perhaps book the suspension in for a geo/corner weighting session

Or get it detailed

Or go on holiday

 

[DJRowlando]

nah do the detailing myself when i get the time. gonna get my wheels done by the wheel specialist in cwmbran maybe next week

+1 The best speed/handling improvement would be driving training, anything left over by some decent rubber.

 

[Chili Red]

Do a Ring trip with some tuition thrown in.
