That's the one
Very strange how the majority of supercharged Clio's get broken within a couple of years maximum :S
The reports are they are reliable and the power speaks for its self. Doesn't even appear its for financial savings either in the majority of cases yet most build the ultimate Clio then want to break it :S
Coincidental? mmmm .....

I was very lucky with mine I had no breakdowns at all if I did I would have got rid of it straight away when it was on low boost I did over 10,000 miles no issues when it was on high boost the engine was fantastic but I felt it would have only been a matter of time before there was other issues with the car gearbox etc . Some people on here running high power clios have had problems they fix it and run it till it goes wrong again I just can't be bothered with all that. I feel with the itbs and cams and the way the car is set it up with the gripper diff etc it will be a good fast road/track car and if I keep it more reliable than a high power sc one in the long run and like I said before easier to sell when the time comes

I also done over 10k not a single problem
big boost cup
From what I can work out he supercharged it to sell the engine to but throttle bodies to sell that to get a focarse.
I think
I don't need to sell the car in order to get the focus I have the money for that already i will be keeping it for a while I got to see what it goes like first!!!!!I might even keep it yet just as a track car I decide in the new year but if someone offers me a good price for it then that's another matter!!

Ugh...You get problems with the gearbox regardless... It's all down to preference, you'll sell up because you can't go 160mph anymore.You had a massive spec engine built up for nowt. You can't justify it any other 2 ways it's just dumb. Don't get me wrong I'm all for spending money on them if it's what you want to do. But it's nice to actually get some use out of it rather than decide thousands later you can't been done with fixing it. Welcome to the infinite loop that is modifying cars.

Well at least I'm not one of the day dreamers that say what they are going to do and never do it!!! I got very good money from the engine so I'm not bothered about that anymore , car will be ready end of next week also having a lightweight flywheel fitted as well as the itbs and cams so should be quick and all the power useable going through the gripper diff so if I see any sc or turbo clio's on track I'll be after you just to prove a point it's not all about bhp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if its not all about bhp , why have a forged engine built to run more power and spend thousands on it ?? why not stick with what you had and not pissed your money up the wall ? you really dont make sense in what you say , went from 250 or 260bhp then 300 something , and then back down to 200 or so , in reality you have just realised that no matter how fast you make the clio's you are just wasting your money , 200bhp is a nice power fir the clio , clio's are all about the handling ,

Have you driven one with 300+bhp?
drove one with 270bhp yes !! there were 3 in gloucester all supercharged , they are quick , bt the box's on them are like chocolate , adeys 270 ish one kept eating box's ! never heard of a reliable charged clio that gets driven everyday running over 240 , my mates charged one gets driven everyday as a daily driver and gets tracked and has never missed a beat and thats running 240 ! everyone with high power charged clio's seems to break them within a few months

Yea mine with 240 was reliable as f**k which is why my next one is going low compression with a little bit of boost to run 260-270 then if it's silly back down to 240 as its reliable and I've proven it to myself!
I wasn't being arsey with my question by the way, I've just had this argument with many on here who hadn't actually driven a Clio with over 200bhp!

I had the engine built and sold it so got most of my money back it's having a good engine setup put back in for re sale value when the time comes how many people on here have bought a sc Clio already done !!!!! If people are to go down the sc route they seem to buy the kits and fit it to there cars and not buy one already done. If my car was going to be sold with the forged engine etc I would be looking at 10k for it that's with brand new wheels tyres seats roll cage wilwood brakes gripper diff etc and it would be hard to sell. Now it's more saleable with the itbs cams etc, so it's not pissing money up the wall as you put it, I done the sc route enjoyed it and now moving on to something different!!!!

Definitely, I wouldnt buy my car LOL.Even tho I know it's almost spot on. Want a certain spec do it yourself.
driving style. Adey is an animal with boxes
Lol was waiting for this thread to pop up. 5k tops that cars worth tbh, you may think its worth more but 7 thousand pounds for a Mk2 in obsurd!
Plus it has the cheapest coilovers money can buy , such a high spec car and then you go and ruin it with a s**t set of race land coilovers , there is a very limited market for tuned clio's going for strong Money unless its a clio cup race car ! A lot of people break there clios when they are tuned as they get strong money for the parts and know that they will struggle to get good money selling them tuned !
