190ish if your lucky I reckon.
Clios are pretty hard to get more power out of without going down the itb/fi route..

Get your name down for JMS RS2 manifolds, that will see you just over 190bhp + if you go down the route of head work + cams you should easily see 200bhp.

are they the carbon fibre ones? for nearly 2k? tad bit pricey like lol

Looks great! If I were preparing a Trophy for track use I'd spend the money on brakes rather than getting to 200bhp. I've found the standard setup pretty mediocre. I'm a bit annoyed I didn't just bite the bullet and buy Brembo discs and better pads as changing the discs/pads was the first thing I had to do with mine and I was just in a rush to get on the road so bought standard stuff!

oh and just a quick update...3 days of ownership and it Sounds like the Cat has gone, its rattling like fck... not to bothered tho as ill get it changed under warrenty and itll be replaced with a decat soon enough but still not a good start lol.

 

[L3BTF]

Oem Renault cat is £1200 your car dealers smile will soon disappear ,

Car looks good !

 

[Sir_Dave]

The rattle is probably the heatshield, not the actual cat

 

[richt247]

it doesnt sound like the heatshield like and ive had a quick look and it seems fine, anyway its booked into the garage on friday morning so shud get it sorted no bother.

 

[richt247]

Update :

The rattle was the Cat and the heatshield. All Fixed under warrenty along with getting the timing belt replaced as the garage said it had been done and it hadnt.

Also fitted a few small upgrades...

Does stripping the rear of the car really save that much weight to justify the effort/inconvenience?

 

[aucky]

Wtf is that??

His girlfriend?

 

[wigstar1]

Ha,ha. What is that last picture all about?

Its not really an inconvinience ( cant spell ) for me as I dont use the backseats anyway... also im wanting to use the car on trackdays so I needed the rear seats out to fit harnesses.

and as for the photo I parked up next to some random green building to take photos of the car and noticed it, its a lifesize dole dressed up lol looks mad when you drive past.
