    What To Do?

    So it seems in the last couple of days ive come into some money and im thinking of spending some of it on the clio, just thinking tho, wat could i get for it thats nothing massive such as the "big three" (throttle bodies, turbo, supercharger), just looking for relatively cheap mods that i will feel a little difference in. You all go on about these "breather mods" that work well with the 16v/williams, but what other parts are there apart from an air filter that are interlinked as a breather mod? Looking to spend around £500 all together, what do u think i could get with that and the kinda gains i wud get from it too

    Any help wud be appreciated

    Cheers
    Nick

    I know they may well do, but going from a 1.4 to the 1.8 16v will do for the moment. Just have to get the 16v lump faster than a williams

    Depends how much you have to spend and what you want from the engine performance wise.

    Youve ruled out FI, so as far as NA goes, you need to concentrate on headwork, cams, and bottom end work to make it a screamer.

    Either that and put in a 2.0 with cams and headwork, and have similar peak power with more torque lower down.
