I'm currently fiddling with mine but i'll only be hitting 300bhp with the help of nitrous. Im fitting a Trophy inlet manifold, fully bespoke decated manifolds, one off active exhaust system, after market managment to operte the pair of throttle bodies and better suited cams if I get a long list...

See this going around the 'ring this weekend and it went and sounded mental. We certainly couldn't keep up with it in the Rangerover Sport lol

Re: 551 bhp renault 5 Very true. Was at the Nurburgring this weekend and there was a turbo'd Civic running a high C/R and big boost. Was pissing on most things around there and was spinning the front wheels at well over 100mph past us.

The FIA need get a grip. As already mentioned, they seem to f**k everything up including the biggest championship in the world...F1. For years we seem to look back at the glory days of motorsport and marvel in it. If it wasn't for stupid rules making the cars behave all the same as each other...

Either Audi UR quattro with an S2 engine or a TVR Cerbera.

Its only the practicality that puts people off using them everyday. They eat motorway miles for breakfast and sit fine in traffic. Ok the fuels not the best but its by no means the worst.

Im not 100% but im pretty sure the v10 is not that much heavier than the old cast iron 6 cylinder block and they have never handled too badly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIxr3q6CetA&feature=related

Your best bet is to go on to v6clio.net. Every part of ownership is discussed in there. I've had a recent string of bad luck with mine but still haven't thought of selling it. Ive drove hot Meganes and Type R's but as good as they are I'd end up yawning in one compared to a vee. Every blast in...

Some of the comments on here are quality!!!! PMSL!! Coilovers??? They would be worth more than the car ffs! OE V6 Wheels? Again they would be worth more than the car. To be honest I think you will struggle to get the rear ride height anywhere near the stock height of a vee. And as for the...

Its a clio v6 Trophy engine. The engine is the "old" non vvt block/heads only played with slightly and fitted with a much better inlet plenumn. A fair few people say they are around 300bhp but 280/290 is more realistic. Myself and a friend are currently fitting the set up to our engines which...

Yeah, its well over a grand for the OE covers from Renault. The fog lamp surrounds for instance are £320+vat...each! I needed two new ones at the begining of the year and it cost me around £200 for StreamlineCarbon to remake the pair.

Hope this is some help to you

Yeah turned out to be a brilliant day out. Apparently the One77 is priced at £1.2 million and as 77 will only ever be made, you have to be invited to own one. Ive been told some lucky fecker will have 2. One to keep in a garage and one to drive.

E30 M3 on a wet 'ring......epic fun IMO!!

Went to Aston's HQ today and took a few piccies. The one we are waiting for Clarkson to review.........(I'm reliably informed that its the bollox though) Beleive it or not this uses a Clio rear wiper as a wind screen wiper!!.......no wonder it's sooooo fast! lol **WARNING EXPLICIT CAR...

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=454245 His car is the Silver Ph1 Trophy look a like. Might be worth you logging on to v6.net as there's a few decent pictures on there. His user name Is Bill Patchall by the way. The car gets huge attention when he opens the boot as it really...

Not being funny boys and girls, sponging BRITISH students are the last of our worries so wind your necks in and complain about something worth while....just my opinion. As for the PS, stock 172's lowered look the dogs nuts I reckon. I wouldn't bother with the tints on the lights. Will...

I think it was Jimbo who papped his horn at me down Towcester Road last week in that area. Must be his daily run lol

Looks brilliant mate. Nice to see something different on a car, especially a Mini where pretty much everythings been done before.

Thats Mark aka Maximan. If you like his LY vee you should see his other cars. He's currently building a Maxi turbo to the ultimate spec possible.

A friend of mine is producing the top engine covers for the vee in carbon fiber and a hell of alot cheaper than reno if your interested. Not too sure exactly how much for though. If carbon isn't your thing, im sure he'll beable to do a cheaper one in fiberglass which could then be either sprayed...

The reason I said "its not a MUST" is because its obviouse we arent talking about a balls out 25+psi motor here are we. At this level of tune, solving the problem and combating pre det is more important than firing expensive materials at it to cope with it. Your dead right that cams with the...

Dodgy i know being that its a sump but have you tried an impact driver?

To be fair, thats utter rubbish. Build and set up a half decent turbo/Supercharged engine and forged pistons and steel H section rods aren't a must by any means. Not until you start running fairly high boost ratios anyway. I built a Mini engine once running cheap Omega cast pistons and got...

LOL @ people who say the Veyron "is ugly" or "is not for them". I'd put a month wages on betting that if they were the same price as a clio every one and their dog would be in line to buy oone. I wouldn't argue that they are the most stunning car of all time but they are with out doubt a...

That car look bloody awsome and goes well too. However, it doesn't look 500 bhp. If it was a big saloon car then yeah but thats an Elise Exige.....if that had 500bhp, it would be insanly quick, stupidly quick even. Sounds and looks to me like its a pretty standard supercharged engine with a...

Yeah agree, 2 hugely fast bit of kit!! Thing is, watching them go up that track shows just how bonkers the Veyron really is. A veyron would sit there while the driver shuts the elecy window, adjusts his/hers leather clad, air conditioned and electrical adjusted arm chair into a more relaxing...

Sounds similar to the one at FCS who had her gob firmly open all through the day!!! What a clueless wonder she was!! Why not get Viccy Henderson on the go..lmao

Sounds similar to the useless one at French Car Show!!!

Sure it wasn't a grey one?? There's a lunar kicking about that way now lol
