Sell 182, buy 172 Cup then modify it.

Saved some more cash

brakes and suspension should be first on your list, so there around 1200 gone.

then depeneds what you want out of engine. probably best to go decent exhaust ( a BTB), panel filter, then save a bit more for cams etc.

 

[Liam@redmonkey]

ive got the cup susp? btb exhaust? how much are cams? what sort of performance would i get?

 

[Martin_172]

depends if your just driving on the road or track to be honest no point in spending £1200 on brakes and suspension when your not taking it on track.

Id spend the money on tyres suspensio and brakes Hp tunning is expensive. 2k will get you over 200hp but on normal driving suspension and brakes will give you more advantage.

 

[Dubai182]

If you just want blown out performance,throttle bodies and cams are the way forward but your talking 5k region,get some decent suspension and then match the inlet manifold and decent exhaust.

 

[Dan@SJM]

I can match the inlet, and im only in bridgwater.

i have recently had some work done on my 182.... decat / prospeed exhaust , inlets matched by GDI , SMT6 also by GDI and a panel filter.. would recomend this coz its made the car much better... this cost bout £ 1500.... and an extra £75 insureance

will have cams , suspension and brakes done next

 

[Andy GDI]

i have to agree with the brakes and suspension route....

although many people do go the manifold and mapping route 1st

what sort of bhp would i expect from this.Also hows the noise on the exhaust?

 

[spike]

charlie at prospeed will make the exhaust sound as loud or quiet as ya like....

power on mine was 182 bhp@ 6000rpm and 166lb.ft torque@ 5500rpm bhp was a little low coz had an open filter at the time...

will be going back to GDI for cams as soon as i have more money

Are the cams £600 and take the car up to about 200bhp?

BTB will give you around an extra 6 bhp, on a standard mapped car.

obviously if you got SMT6 or standalone more can be extracted from it.

our Shed Motorsport clio is running 195.3 bhp and 170.1 lb. ft of torque, with nothing more than a BTB and ITG panel filter. You will not get those sorts of gains out of a prospeed.
