    197: Mods + £= bhp?

    I don't think Carroll Shelby would disagree that torque is nothing on its own.

    Not true. Power wins races. Torque on its own is nothing.

    197: Mods + £= bhp?

    You'd wanna keep 6th the same but have at least 1 2 3 4 shorter. Thing is though they would not feel shorter as you match it to the extra 500revs you get from new cams etc. The only reason you'd want to keep 6th is so as not to affect mpg.

    197: Mods + £= bhp?

    Thing is with n/a is noone ever does it properly and lowers the gearing. spending 3k may get more power at the top end and give you a few more revs but you don't get the full benefit without increasing the gear ratios.

    That flame red 172 looks amazing. Tempted to get one as a track car.

    Clio 200 Engine Value??

    It would be a really good mod for a 172/182 if it would fit with the 200s gear box. Well assuming it would not be millions to fit. It would by geared down by about 6% too so the torque to weight in each gear would be around 20% more than a 200s so it would be FAST!!!

    197: How much for your insurance and who with?

    Protected ncd is a con even with a claim you better off without it.

    Clio 200 Raider

    The overall size of the wheel is the same. The wheels look fine not too big and the tyres are 40s so not that law either.

    Clio 200 Raider

    I have found out about the boggo one in the pic. They do the gas conversions at dieppe.

    Clio 200 Raider

    172s were about 11 hours. I'd guess about the same for a 200. Takes longer for i.d. paints.

    what's your 2012 most wanted mods?

    If I keep the car I'm gonna improve accelaration, braking and cornering. I'm gonna fit some Hankook RS2s

    Good price but seems fishy!!

    That car is either priced wrong or a cat c or d. Even with 50k miles that's an £11k imo

    Good price but seems fishy!!

    Main dealers sell some right trash too though. i know of one that sold quite a famous 197 that had been put back to standard. Not too well either according to the dealer who sold it.

    Service Plan - Is this worth it?

    I know but with a 197 on 12m/12k they should include plugs as part of the 3yr service plan ever if they are doing early.

    "The clio looks faster than it is.."

    I took my 200 to a day at curborough. Over 0.88 mile i was 3 secs quicker than a 3 litre Z4 and only 1sec slower than my mate with more experience in his stripped fiat coupe with 285bhp and track rubber. I took a few people out and to be fair no-one was impressed by the power but every last...

    Service Plan - Is this worth it?

    Not bad if that includes a proper 3 year service which is plugs too.
