/\ Orange one that scared people silly? Standard rims, bottle of nos and not alot else inside? Got any pics of the TT lump in there, must have been intense putting that in there!

You got a TT engine in a 172? Fcuk me sounds sweet, lets have a look?

I know, great set up for strait line racing. Not pushed it too far yet but been told that rear momentum can cause a problem when going sideways. Only time I had it sideways was an accident and luckily (or through my superior driving skills) I pulled it back in nicely.

Yeah mines a turbo. Was a bug eyed scooby. Possibly not an STi. What I was getting at was that a 4wd car should always beat a 2wd car. But the level of grip on launchs is fantastic in the 2.

Mk 2 MR2 is 1200 kgs compared to a mk1 Clio being 980ish and a mk2 being 1050ish. Off the line MR2s are superb, the grip for a 2wd car is awesome, I smashed a scooby at Santa Pod in October.

Right stop bitching children. Twin ENTRY turbo which is what they all are means that the turbo takes exhaust gasses from two seperate ports. IE two branchs of the manifold in one side and two in the other. This reduces turbo lag greatly. My valver was fun, it broke alot and didnt go that fast...

7,200 is the redline on a valver.

No grit and bone dry. Loads of freezing cold air for my intercooler too! It was actually cold to touch last night.

I think now the problems have been acknowledged and sorted but in the begining there were some issues that kept coming back. Still to deal with is the standard clutch - wont take it. Standard gearbox wont last long. New brakes will be needed. Fuel pump wont last very long. When BB took...

Its not a bad price but how often do you hear of stuff being done at prima? Ive heard a few stories about their work being less than adequate.

Well Steve likes it and take my word for it, it gets a hell of alot of attention. On his attempt to show me what the GTT power was like on the front so many people were gawping over it. Sure some bird practically offered herself to him!

That looks a gooun though Tom, uprated head gasket is important if running higher boost. Seems like the prev owner has done all the necessary (sp) work to make it safe. I heard the standard intercoolers are weak though????

I personally like em. But due to the age and the amount of prev owners it must be hard to find one thats been looked after all its life. £650 for a brand new engine? Fook thats cheap. But and a BIG but - as pointed out in another post Renault will be entitled to stop selling parts for them soon.

Theyre not as you describe but they arent exactly bullet proof either. They have more issues than most small turbod cars.

5 will prob go wrong more but be cheaper and easier to work on. Go turbo powered Tom, once you do youll never wanna go back to n/a!

What! I was only asking.

Your a member dogmaul? So am I and we dont have clios? Matty - is your mum single and after a toyboy? Older woman and a 911 - is that just every young mans fantasy?

I look at my willy every day. On a serious note, if you think of going for it sell the valver private as theyll offer peanuts in p/ex

Whats a ZX 16v?

Easy 200bhp? If you got ALOT of money in the bank may be. Easier just to buy something thats 200bhp.

Fcuk me £480 for a sump? Whats the price of a sump? Is it a mammouth job to fit it?

Also seen this and met the bloke, nice car nice bloke! Was thinking of having the conversion myself at one time.

ST170 is just a bit of a gimmick. Would rather have the STDCi !

I like the Cooper-S since I heard one with an exhaust. Sounded the nuts prob louder than my MR2

Cooper-S is 160 something bhp and prob not as light as youd think?

Good point Ben! Think my Clio was reg later than when it was made. Late 1992 but has all the features of an early J
