Best you can hope to beat is the phase 1 VTRs, around 10 seconds to 60 and if you get a good start you could be ahead. The RT can do 0-60 in around 10 seconds, if you look on parkers and see anything around 9-10 seconds, you should be able to keep up off the mark till 60, after that, if your...

Isnt it a turbo diesel then? I thought that if you put bigger intercooler on a small engine, the intercooler will drain off the boost cos its too big, ie not enough cold air actually in the intercooler, therefore, not enough cold air being drawn through it to the engine? Maybe Im thinking of...

I always refer people back to RSC for some reason, hang on its cos Im a member lol! But there are a couple of members with 1.6 Clios with induction kits on, someone just bought a K&N for one.

How will a bigger intercooler help on a small engine?

Wherever you measure, the back of the car should be higher then the front

Whatever it is, I do not like the wheels!

Well the phase 1 willys came with a plaque on the dash with its number on, where the rear window heat switch, rear fogs etc switch is, directly underneath should be the plaque if it is a phase 1. TBH, itd be worth gettin the AA to check it over cos repairs can be expensive. Check rear archs...

Is L reg the phase 1s which are more desirably, with the numbered plaques?

Im not a fan of neons, to nova ish, but if you like em, then you whack em on!

Isnt the current Clio the mk3? The front looks quite aggresive but that slopping windscreen and high roof makes it look like a MPV, maybe its the new scenic or summit

Id complain, no doubt them 37 miles have been the thrashing of its life. If youd been given a 172 to "test drive" would you drive it steady?

Think Im gonna have to try this stopwatch thing on my way home... Done it b4 with a digi camera strapped to the dash filming the speedo, came out as late 9 seconds, maybe 10 dead on up a small hill, thats on a 1.4RT mk1 phase 2.

Speak with DRg on RSC forum (http://www.renaultsportsclub.co.uk/forums/default.asphttp://www.renaultsportsclub.co.uk/forums/default.asp), hes got a RSI with 142bhp, loads of engine mods, sure hed be able to point you in the right direction.http://mem

Int the 0-60 on mk1 1.2 8v around 16 seconds?

No I mean the RSI, 1.8 8v with 110bhp, 0-60=mid 8 seconds 1.8 16v Clio with 137bhp, 0-60=mid 7 seconds 2.0 16v Clio with 150bhp, 0-60=mid 7 seconds

Is it really worth spending £7000 on a turbo? Highly tuned 2.0 out the 2 choices, why not a highly tuned GTT conversion? Just an idea

Hang on, I posted summit bought this on RSC, Ill get it for ya...

Might be close ish, the mk1 RSI Clio had around 110bhp and did 0-60 in 8 seconds, dunno how heavy yours is compared to the mk1 though.

A garage will break them off for you, my mum bought a car with locking wheel nuts but the garage didnt give her the key, when she took it back for a service they said, wheres the key? She said, you didnt give me one, well we cant get the wheels off, basically argued when it was there fault, they...

Doubt it, if summit does go wrong just dont go into the dealer saying you redlined it! lol

But how many times are you racing summit at over a ton? CTR is bloody smart though IMO

You need to speak with Lowe on RSC forum, he had it done a few weeks back

But thats one dealer, it all differs from dealer to dealer no matter what manufacturer, some Renault dealers have been fantastic from what people have said on here, some arseholes!

Thats my rant and rave over for the day now :)

Against a Clio 1. They seem weak, could be a poor design. No thats what you get when any cars built in the uk 2. Steering rattles a lot when going over bumps etc. Not happened on mine 3. Renault after care service is not exactly mind blowing. True, but you get that at any dealer...

Id imagine a good service should bring it down a fair bit! Mines serviced once a year and when I bought it I ran some 10k boost through, load of black crap come out and it stunk so imagine that did summit! I think the factory figure of 12.5 and 11.5 for phase 2s is generous, as most are.

Lol, 17 seconds to 60, summits seriously wrong there. Im at 10 seconds, 11 seconds on a bad day, 9 seconds on a very good day. Mine seems to struggle after 80 but rocket to 80!! lol

Im seeing double cross cos the images not working lol

Youll be able to keep up with VTRs and 1.4 SRI Corsas but youll never be able to keep up with the VTS, you should be able to keep up with majority of mk1 corsas, fastest is the GSi I think running at 0-60 in 9 seconds. Same goes for mk2 Corsas, fastest is the 1.8 16v at 8 seconds. I say keep...
