Probably mentioned elsewhere... Motorbike carbs?

Awesome!! C1J engine, good for 180hp reliable with the right bits. A mate shared the link today, looks great

Strange, thats what it was on J 146 SPH

I sold it to a work colleagues son, maybe someone can run the vehicle reg somewhere to see if it's still on the road. I remember the first ones on turbines and the later ones on the 5 spokes with some in full leather. Would love to own a std early one on turbines

Yeah I do, was a quick car back in the day. Sounded great with the induction kit. Loved driving it, not many cars back then had 17s which I think with Venoms of the time looked pretty good. A few years after I owned the sister car the 19 16V

Was digging through a load of old photographs this morning and came across these 2. I joined Cliosport first time round back in 2000, this was my first ever Renault Clio. Lowered, 17" TSW Venoms, stainless cat back exhaust, big induction kit straight off the throttle body. Used to attend the...

It's making for great info and conversation so I'm hoping that the both of you aren't taking any of my comments the wrong way. Cheapest Adaptronic is £630 which I mentioned above. Agreed, buying an off the shelf turbo kit is the best and cheapest way. Collating parts second hand and new then...

No but depending on requirements you can have a custom loom made with the OE ECU binned off and run everything through the Adaptronic.... Or Omex, or DTA. The point is, and the beauty of this case with the Clio is it doesn't have to be done, the ECU is just needed as you're running boost. So...

As Adaptronic is standalone it can be mapped by anyone, I believe it's the closest place for the OP to have it done.

Right in every way, colour, the fact the 200 has really grown on me, the engine spec.... Perfect. If I wasn't PCP'd this would have been the route I would have gone.

I think it's just the thicker head gasket that's the only difference as far as I can read (Megane 225) would it be that much lower with just the gasket?

Haha cool, I only mentioned it as my supercharged Clio was down on power. Went back to basics and found out the timing was out so I had Alex sort it amongst others. Made a big difference when I had the map tweaked, much better torque low down and more power.

I take it the timing is OK, compression check?

Hanningfield or North Weald, both good locations, and imagine the breakfast at Hanningfield to be half decent.

£200 difference, admittedly to some that's a lot of money but to be fair what you can do with the Adaptronic as an ECU. I can't sell it it to its full potential but the beauty of it is adding to it in so many ways. ED are about an hour away, EFI did the whole lot in the supercharged Clio as it...

The cheapest Adaptronic from EFI Parts is about £630 then it needs wiring into the loom and the car mapped. I paid about £1100 for everything above as it came as a complete drive in drive out package price when I supercharged my 182 Clio. It's an expensive outlay but what you get back is a...

Is that a piggy back to the OE ECU?

I always buy the rear blade from Renault, fronts I've ordered on E Bay, I think the Bosch aero blades.

I should be up for this

What a cracking Clio, love it.

#needy! Good to catch up with you Mark

Cheers, I thought I recognised it after his photoshoot threads. Apologies for not getting round to speaking to you too.

The Cup 172, is that Steve's? I must apologise for not getting round to speaking to everyone today.

Thanks for arranging the meet up, it was nice to see a few people there. Also good to go out in the Trophy and the other 200 EDC. Hopefully there will be more meet ups there throughout the year.

It's not down for rain mate, come over in the van

Yeah ok, it'll never be used again but it can go back in the toolbox. Cheers

Cloud cover, that'll do. Full English, oh yes

Been reading this thread and have to say it gets better with every mod. The wheels MAKE it, tasteful, subtle mods that complement each other.

Adaptronic ECU, Chris at EFI knows these the best. Mileage shouldn't come into it, I drove to and from EFI in a day from Essex to have my old supercharged Clio map tweaked. Nice to see a neat phase one 172 turbo'd

I imagine the Sadev gearbox being the biggest difference, coupled with slicks that's where the lap times are the quicker. Obviously a few ingredients like chassis, 4 pots, rollcage, suspension play their part making the Cup racer but imagine the Sadev making the single most difference to that car.
