Ask Hughesclio on that one, hes been in mine and Pauls SC 172's and he owns an M3, he reckons his M3 wont keep up from 0-100 but after 100 it will pull back. He took me for a spin in his M3 and I agreed. Also the Clio feels ALOT faster as power delivery is alot more violent!
Anyway!!! I WISH...

On wednesday I fitted my new steering wheel, Its an OMP Corsica 350mm suede steering wheel with a 60mm dish and a momo boss. It feels sooo much better to drive and with the dish its a far better driving position, alot more racey and comfortable...
Ive covered 5000 miles in mine and mines running 0.6bar - 260 bhp now. No problems as yet apart from 2 gearboxes so far - in 7 months, but I know someone who rebuilds them for me for £160 - Bonus!
IMO drive one and you will want it! If you cant drive one then just a passenger ride WILL...
IMO an LSD is not needed. Traction in the dry is suprising, not much different to traction in a standard 172! Obviously it will make it easier to drive and grip a bit better but it's £1000+ that is not needed to be spent!
To my knowledge in the uk there is:
Pauls at RST - Ph1
Mine - Ph2 172
Dannys - Ph1
Adams - Ph2 182
Jons - Ph1
Another from GDI - Ph2 182
However every single one is running different power! To my knowledge Pauls is the only high boost conversion, so far! :)
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
Yup, boost gauge is going! New one will be inplace soon! It's running bang on 0.6 bar as Paul proved today on the dyno. Il add a few updates tomorrow including some new RR graphs from today, the fueling is slightly leaner so power is +++ :)
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
Yeah it's hard to see coz when it's at peak boost the engines also just about to hit the limiter! That's why I filmed it so I could monitor it better!
Wonder why my boost has raised by 0.2bar then?
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
Ah I see! What's urs boosting to Danny in this cold weather? Has the boost raised slightly or is it still at 0.45 bar??
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
Have u got a 3gs? Wonder if it picks sound up better than the 3g? My videos have always been good quality on the 3gs.
Ok fair enough, once this one is done and dusted then il arrange a feb meet! Although my car might poss be in the spray shop in feb! Should be all done in a week or two though hopefully, aslong as I pull my finger out!
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
Ah yeah, didnt think of that! It was at about 11:00pm last night this video aswell, it was nice and cold. Its gunna feel slow in the summer then if thats the case. Atleast itl have traction then though! :D
I wanna bang it on the dyno running how it...
Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172
Last night I took a video of my boost gauge. It used to boost to 0.6bar but recently its been boosting to 0.8bar! God knows why? I dont know how accurate the boost gauge is as its only a cheap one but the car feels bloody quick at the minute! Going to...
I am working that whole weekend until 4pm. I work one weekend on, one weekend off. I'm off this weekend, on the weekend after (16th & 17th), off the week after that. 4pm would be fine for me though, it is colder and dark and would be poor for photos though!
I can do any weekend sat or sun...
