Clio Clio 182 Trophy back to oem(ish)

[Adey]

Tell you what, it makes it a much nicer place to plod around in.

 

[Adey]

The extenders turned up for the inlet manifold. Poped to Omex for some o rings and fixings and cracked on with fitting them, not many pics taken as the weather was crap.



Still need to trim the grill and fit up the filter but should yield a little more top end power

 

[DaveL485]

Purpose of the spacers?

 

[Adey]

longer runners, increase in torque and then higher peak bhp

 

[andybond]

Getting closer to the rad Adey !

 

[Adey]

Miles away, just the angle of the pic. would be pushing through the stock rad by now though

 

[Adey]

Yellow fogs because chav, I might of got a little bored

 

[Adey]

Top mounts were getting a little noisy, fortunately in my spares pile I had a set of Ktec top mounts. Forgot I had them but found them while looking for some bulbs. Well would be rude not to slap them on.



I did read that some early ones had issues and these were purchased for my first itb clio so probably 6-7 years ago, so if they fall apart I'll chuck some pure Motorsport ones in instead.

I must have the K Tec revised solid top mounts, seem good enough to me, although I'd like to fit a genuine cup racer solid mount setup with attached strut brace (similar to PMS)

 

[Adey]

Are your black Ric? Wouldn't be too hard to make a brace that would work with them, infact I think the pms one would fit

Yeah they're black, doesn't the PMS kit come all in? Mounts and strut brace?

 

[Adey]

you can buy it individually aswell, Ktec also do a brace for the top mounts too

 

[Ricardo]

£154 for the luxury from K Tec

 

[Adey]

oooosh KTax

 

[Adey]

Rattle can attack on the bumper, I will one day pay for the paint to be done properly but for now it hides the scratches from when I lost the bumper.

 

[Adey]

back on the dyno tomorrow morning, any guesses? will it pass the 200bhp barrier?

 

[andybond]

Painted bumper and quick release catch got to be worth 5 .

 

[Adey]

indeed it has, i was tempted by go fast stripes and genuine max power stickers for that extra push

 

[mattk]

back on the dyno tomorrow morning, any guesses? will it pass the 200bhp barrier?

I reckon 190-195hp, but if the TR sticker is fitted then possibly 230-240hp is on the cards

 

[Adey]

she seemed a strong one to start with so hopefully itll get there. Im ashamed to say i havent got a tr sticker on her yet, defo going to loose horse power for that
