great exhaust that is...my mate has one on his VX220 T and it sounds simply awesome...when he flies past and u have your window down it hurts your ears as it has a real race car pitch!!!
although strangely, at the VX track day last month, people kept coming upto him saying that his exhaust was...
i think the aftermarket dump valve that the previous owner brought had almost destroyed the standard turbo when the stage 2 upgrade was done so he had an Astra VXR turbo put in which is the turbo they use for the Thorney Stage 4 upgrade that he should be getting done in the near future!!!
don't think it has ever been timed at 0-60 as it was built for the 1/4 mile.
At TOTB it ran 3 9.7's in a row and then a 9.8 and more has been done to it since then.
that must be 1 fast clio lol.
watch out for James' Evo at JapShow Finale, it could well take the title, i'll be taking my ear plugs as i heard this thing on the rolling road at the start of the year and it ain't exactly quiet!!!
i think at Santa Pod there is a beem and the time only starts once you break the beam, which means that after the green light u can sit there for as long as u want prepring your launch and it wont affect your time. Once you launch and break the beam, then the time starts.
not sure about other...
an average driver could exploit much more of a clio trophy's performance on track than they could in a V6, thats the problem.
put a pro driver in both and i think the V6 would be pulling away!
anyone know the standard weight of the mk1 172 wheels??? or anywhere where i could find out???
trying to find out so that i know what kind of weight i will be saving with new wheels..just planning ahead.:D
I was planning to do exactly the same to a silver mk1 172 that im buying soon. I think they will look awesome in anthracite!!! The car will probably needs its wheels refurbed anyway, so was thinking i could get them sprayed at the same time.
didn't realise u had to tell insurance tho.
I was torn between the mk1 and mk2 aswell but im going for the mk1 so i can have more money to spend on tuning.
As far as i know they are almost identical apart from the difference in look....same'ish interior, abs, air con, performance. On paper the mk1 is slightly faster but if you drove...
I was gonna suggest that site 2, thats where I have got alot of my stuff in the past! It helps u make up your mind having everything infront of u aswell.
If u want to keep boot space, u can make a false floor and put the amp under it, or just screw it onto, or behind the sub box itself.
LOL, I can't wait.
I know how good the clio sports are as my bro used to have a clio cup, and 2 of my mates mave RS's 2...1 has a V6 and the other has a cup and they are both on here so I couldn't resist but get one. 1 of the best bang for your buck out there.
Hey everybody, im new to the site and wanted to say hello.
Not sure if this is the place to do it tho:S :D
Anyways, im 19 atm and drive a modified Fiat Punto, but that wouldn't interest you lol but on the upside im getting rid of it in December/January (whenever the insurance runs out) and...
