I have a 03 plate 1.6 xsi 16v petrol. On paper it should be equal, if not slightly quicker than my mates 1.6 16v clio dynamique petrol, however on a trip down the motorway the other day I couldn't pull past him when he had a full car and a huge twin sub in the back and it was just me and my girlfriend in my car. Both cars are standard apart from he has a pipercross induction kit and I have a s***ty aftermarket air filter which the car came with, any suggestions on why my car might be running short of power? Would the bad air feed be causing it to run so badly? or is there any other simple things that may be causing it to be a little underperforming?

Get rid of the air filter and fit a standard box (pref the older style, newer style filter is far to restrictive) and a panel filter, also give the car a FULL service. Soon be a different car.

Yeah thats what I was thinking, I'd rather have a better cold air feed than the chavvy filter the previous owner put on it to sound loud. Yeah hopefully that'll give it a new lease of life! cheers

As said get the standard air box with panel filter. And a full service make sure it hasn't got Ngk plugs in it they will make it run bad.
