Re: Boosted BlackGold Project - F4rT content.
600 miles would be 6 months of driving in my Clio. I could live with a fresh box every 6 months.
Looking forward to seeing my what? You've seen my car before haven't you?
Re: Boosted BlackGold Project - F4rT content.
The way I see it, maybe I don't like my 172 much? If you're gonna go to the trouble of building a 400hp Clio, then mapping it or dropping the boost to help the gearbox last is silly. I know scoffs car got a lot of abuse on the strip so that made...
Re: Boosted BlackGold Project - F4rT content.
With some ARP's it'll do another 100 as well, someone will prove that soon enough I reckon, all this talk of the meg engine only going to 300 is tittle tattle ;)
Re: Boosted BlackGold Project - F4rT content.
I'd keep an eye out for a Megane/Laguna turbo engine or head as well, they can be had for very little. If you take your time you can find stuff for a big HP build for fairly cheap. I suppose using a standard turbo and collecting all the big bits is...
Re: Boosted BlackGold Project - F4rT content.
^^^ This!
Should be a good build this, take advantage of the side mount and use a big turbo! Strap a GT30 onto it, stick some ARP's in there and aim for 400. Piece of p155! Not as hard as you think to build a 400+ clio is it, and if you're using...
As above....
Cheapest place tobuy them? I've found them in the USA for around 60 quid a set if I buy two sets.
Anyone know of any cheaper places or similar prices in the UK?
Ride is good with 50-15's fitted, not crashy at all like some coilovers I've used, they've got a fair bit of give. Not sure what it's like with 16's and a lower profile. Alot smoother than I expected.
They prop you up well when you lean on them too.
Mine is starting to rott away :(
And you can pick them up that cheap now they're worth more in bits. Going the same way as older cars have been for years.
Very nice, I used to have one before I got the Evo... Would still have it if i hadnt got the Evo.
My pal had one with 299hp and that went really well! With an extra 30-50hp it will be even better! The 5pot noise is mega :D
I would chuck a decent clutch on your list for the end of the month...
That will polish out that! Not the end of the world eh!
Your car handled better when it was wet than mine did in the dry, was uber-impressed! I needs me some good suspension!
Was very impressed with the Renaults, all three drove home and apart from the ripples it was a really good day...
