Is this guy being a little optimistic???

[andyclio172]

Afternoon all,

Just seen this clio renaultsport 182 on ebay. Is it just me or is he over exaggerating the performance gains on his car.

Advert says that car is 205 bhp after having just a remap, decat pipe.

Link to advert?

if those are the only mods, extremely optimistic

 

[Duffman_172]

205bhp from a re-map and decat, is that even possible??

 

[Christopher]

No. lol.

175 is he's lucky.

No Cup spoiler pack either.

 

[Duffman_172]

I Didn't think so lol

 

[Flat Eric]

No chance. There was another racing blue on eBay the other week claiming similar figures from similar mods.

 

[Scoot]

Being optimistic about having both cup packs as well.

LED Sidelight bulbs give you an extra 30bhp iirc

 

[TomEdwards]

Contacted the seller and told them it doesn't have both packs on and to change his info

His reply: ??????????? who are you ebay detective it my mates car and he wrote the listing end of - knob!!

i spoke to this guy on the phone and car doesnt sound quite right, as per figures a load of sxxte lol

 

[mattjones]

Don't think you would get far with a 'Mintek' de-cat as well

 

[Knuckles]

I'm sure standard procedure for anyone selling a 1*2 on eBay is to plug a laptop into their car and pick a number at random.

He probably stuck in a fault code reader and 205 showed up.

 

[Jonff]

States in the advert that one of the problems is it needs the tracking doing. Why wouldn't you get that sorted before selling the car? Not a big or expensive problem to sort.

 

[Bobby.]

why is it people selling 1*2's on ebay are always making around the 200bhp mark from just a remap lol

I was going to comment this, I mean what is it £40 job retail?

Doesn't sound right to me.

Doesn't sound right to me.

You find that with so many adverts "oh it just needs £40-60 spending on it and its a minter", yeah right.

It's about as true as having cup packs or 205bhp, full of s**t.

This.

Bar the utter drivel about power not actually a bad price imo...

 

[Stefan.]

soooo many utter shite ones about its scary!! i know they have dropped in value but it seems people just cant maintain them :dapprove: oh well makes the minter ones stand out abit more i guess

 

[laberridge]

I messaged the guy asking how he came about the figuires for the bhp, will post the response on here.

 

[Joe#]

I wouldn't touch that with a barge pole.

I might send him some messages too

What's this.. a rude, illiterate person ?

Just seen this clio renaultsport 182 on ebay.

Ah.... case closed.

 

[laberridge]

my question:
I was wondering about the figuires quoted for the BHP, This is next to impossible to reach what your quoting from a remap. Do you have any documents or stats from a rolling road to prove this?

his response to my question:
no sorry no rolling road was remaped outside the house by one of the molbile mappers

 

[TomEdwards]

Outside his out by a molbile mapper - AMAZING LOL :clap:
