Cost difference is £1200 really but when you consider you get a belt change which is what, 500+ at most places, included, add that to what it would cost on a low boost and your talking 600 or so difference for a full rebuild, more power and a decent clutch.

Stage 2 seems far better value than low boost when you consider you get all the belts done, a full rebuild and 40 bhp extra, for what a extra, 600 odd quid effectively. Someone said on here it was the least reliable though. Can anyone confirm this? Stage 3 OK for track use - for a road car...

He's still going as well.

Thought the medium boost stage 2 set up was all 225 Meg anyway so why is it said to be unreliable?

No idea mate but I'm in same boat and it can't be coincidence. Mines been fine for over 10 years then suddenly it's needed 3 injectors in a year. Dirt in system, fuel filter, fuelling, lambda ?

Something's causing them to fail

Where does a charged Clio fit into the turbo stages? 250bhp charged similar to 280 stage 2 turbo?

I had repeated reliability issues after simply getting a cam conversion plus other bits and bobs by the top tuner of the day years ago. If you don't get initial problems after modding a car I would say you are very lucky. What counts is further down the line when talking about reliability.

No idea mate, just read between here and on FB it had been spotted twice.

If its been spotted twice sounds like its been driven about by some 15 year old ned. Might be worth trying to track it down by the cruise scene or visit bits local boy racers hang out.

If it was one thief they might have struggled to make off with 3 Clio.

How reliable is the source of the sighting? Seems a bit strange someone nicking 2k worth of Clio from a karting track 100 miles from where they potentially might stay

Yeah agree mate there will always be exceptions.

Try and buy from someone who's owned the car for a while. Those who are selling after owning after only a couple of months with the usual excuses written in the ad rings alarm bells. Also when you clock a car you like, worth visiting that MOT guv check site thing to show previous MOT failings

Don't forget the clutch.

Been in the same boat. Emailed although got a couple of replies. Tried to book the car in then correspondence dried up. Emailed him 3 more times but never got a response. He might be s**t hot with the spanners but the basic office side is just s**t.

With all the idiots on the road if this is the best the police can do, a few mm reduction in the size of a reg plate and a set of front fogs then they must be desperate...

Was that time with or without NOS mate ? Have you got your turbo lump up and running?

Standard production Ph2 clio's will never be desirable no matter what the colour. Cup has a chance though.

Blown engine possibly

I had an random annoying rattle develop once. Turned out to be the heatshield vibrating against the anti roll bar. Will have know doubt disturbed something when fitting your exhaust

What do you do with the washer ? Just keep re-using it ?

Yeah mate get a S2 box in it should make a big difference

But is it "Ford world" 225bhp or real world 225? Ford scene is terrible for over inflated power figures. To be fair though rst's struggle to get any power down and its all or nothing with the crappy old cvh lump.

Poloroid black Friday special ftw

15.5, is about normal for standard.

I built a high comp bottom end a few years back. Must have come to well over a £1000 with new everything, bored out and all that. You budget for parts and engineering work etc and it always end up costing more. The end result once its fitted will be no real extra gain over a standard one. Would...

A lot of Clio Sport parts are overpriced for what they are. Think the only cheap VFM bit is buying the cars themselves lol

Did i read that right - £250 to replace a injector?

Second hand one could be as bad. They only last so long before they go
