Excellent stuff mate!

 

[Clio_fool]

Decent amount of torque too. Come on, own up what else have you done to it?

Haha nothing mate apart from looking after it,oil & filter change every 3-4months,new HT leads,New ngk plugs.
Only mods are exhaust & fatty induction set up engine wise.

It has the RS manifold to but I thought all RS clios have this?

 

[MrBlonde]

Forgot to say ED are doing a 20% discount on remaps this month.
You dont have to have it done this month just get it booked in this month if you know what i mean

What's their normal price for a 1*2 map?

 

[182_steve]

That's a fantastic result mate, i'm well chuffed for you! My 182 made 180.9 AFTER the remap so yours is now more powerful haha! The responsiveness etc on mine is soooo much better however and pulls really hard, you won't regret having it done!

Pleased you got on with Andy, he's a great bloke, very knowledgeable as we said before :up::up:

Thanks mate,nice to even just know everything is ok with the engine & yeah wasn't expecting that much,maybe 5bhp at the most.
Ive dealt with Andy a few times as this was my 4th vist to ED.

Its £200inc vat mate so its a good price with the 20% aswell

Yeah that's a decent price. The trip down there would only be worth the effort if I left with 230 bhp though:wink::smile:

Haha that is true!,no one up near you that can do it?

 

[imprezaworks]

Execellent result mate. Only 1bhp behind mine lol.

Does drive better after a proper looking at

Thanks mate,next thing now is to prob change the Gaz for some billies

 

[imprezaworks]

Good choice, b14's are great.

 

[Mr R.]

Thanks mate,next thing now is to prob change the Gaz for some billies

I've got Gaz on my van and I had Billies on my PH1.
The Billies are night and day, don't buy the Gaz they rust like fook.

I have GAZ on at the mo mate & had fronts rebuilt & yeah to hard i think even on low damper setting & looking for some B14''s.
Will clean mine up & put up for sale once i find some billies.

Yeah RS Tuning are close but I'd have to tap Paul for mates rates! EFI are 90 mins away and half the price of RST. I won't be doing it until next year anyway because the kids birthdays drain me this time of year .
The list of car stuff gets added to quicker than the jobs get done!

 

[MrBlonde]

Ive also seen & read that EFI are pretty good to mate @OssPoop

 

[imprezaworks]

Very

 

[Clio_fool]

Probably best going to EFI. A run in engine dynamics demo turbo wouldn't be good at all!

 

[MrBlonde]

Yeah would be great to have it turboed or even supercharged & good price i think inc all fitted supplied etc,but would never see that back when selling unless your keeping the clio for a long time.

 

[MrBlonde]

A few photos of the Dirty Cup from a few days down in Somerset Cheddar Gorge.
Taken with phone so maybe not best quality.

 

[MrBlonde]

Also got a set of B14's ready to go on to replace the Gaz Coilovers.

 

[182_steve]

Nice photos, looks a lovely area you went away to! The dirty look on the car kind of suits those roads you were on lol!

 

[Jekyll]

I really like the 1st pic for some reason.

 

[MrBlonde]

Lovely place shame the gorge is not a long drive through tho,but still good.

In the end I actually liked the look of it being dirty,made it actually look like its been on a adventure & road trip.

 

[MrBlonde]

Just been going through some of my photos and found this one!.how could i of missed this!

 

[yeecup]

Great pic and a fantastic example. Hope to get mine looking as good as yours

Thanks mate,its not perfect but i try my best to look & take care of it.

 

[mintno1]

Looks great in that pic, think I need to get some original side trim bullets to match the wheels, never really liked the ones I have on mine that are sprayed

Thanks mate,yeah do the bullets.I think orginal colour looks best with them not the flush ones etc.

 

[182_steve]

Yeah that's an awesome photo :up:

Thanks mate,not sure if it was my photo or credit to @Dr Jekyll

 

[MrBlonde]

So went to get the Wheel Alignment done today on the Cup along with @Dr Jekyll

So this is the before and after & have to say the drive is so much better now even just having the front toe & camber adjusted.

I havd done a little thread about the company we used on the Trader section.

Before

After

Mine on the Set up & Marks

Mine is a lot lower than what the photo shows by the way,just jacked up to adjust the camber :up:

 

[182_steve]

Good stuff, yeah does look a bit "4x4" on the ramp doesn't it 😂

 

[MrBlonde]

The Cup did well early this Morning in the Snow,even tho it took me just over an hour to get home.
