here is a link to a car that is claimed to have 214hp but clearly does not. Is it false advertising to say your car has lots of power when it actually hasnt or is the law yet to catch up on this...
got harnesses though so it wouldnt matter. i will point out if it hasnt been noticed thats a left hand drive car. its not mine. i just thought it looked mint. i would deffo get a aftermarket steering wheel of smaller size and weight as long as i had the harness fitted with either seats like that...
the best way is to ask girls if they dont like they way it looks then they wont look at you while your driving it.
tbh the honda is a nice motor so is the clio. i think the clio is always going to be an underdog compared with other cars but most people on this forum couldnt wouldnt stretch to...
i think the main argument stems from bhp per tonne on a 182cup vs a ctr. so if a ctr is faster then its due to a.) gearing and b.) manufacturer lying about actual HP to keep insurance down i.e wouldnt it be better to advertise the CTR as 200hp rather than the 197hp that so many cars push ? i...
^^^ agree if you look at topgear and how awesome the 182 was on that ! perfect handling just not enough power to move higher up the list. if the clio had the same handling but 200hp it would be really high up top gears list. i didnt think the clio was driven well on 5th gear at all. for some...
ok.. my two cents.
the last corner he nearly stacked it i the clio ??? why ??? you could actually see the clio have straighten up then to wait until it hit the vvt again if you took that corner better the clio would have been 1/2 sec faster for sure.
also was it the 182cup with recaros ? or...
can you remap the standard ecu to remove flat spots and increase fuel i.e give you another 4-5hp. if you add and exhaust and filter can you map onto the standard ecu ?
they always side with the ctr because of its image. they will say the ctr is faster in a straight line even though its 200kgs heavier and only has 15hp more but less torque than 182. and actually even less power to weight compared with the 182cup.
also list price well we all know the 182 can...
well its a stretch for me but im stupid and im hoping that i can spend a lot more time with this car and enjoying doing some good mods. one of the main reasons i chose this is because ive secured a deal on a nearly new one with very low miles for £12.5k (£16k list !) and they are willing to give...
ohh it this colour aswell..

maybe not to everyones tastes but il be knocking on the door of 220hp and 340lbft when its finished + 145mph at least ( yup its a diesel )
well ive really enjoyed my clio but its time to be more economical and have something thats lower insurance. it looks like im going derv like my bro. thing is i was having a (safe) quick blat with him in his jabbad VRS and upto !20mph he was sat behind both with foot to the floor nothing in it...
i think your figures are wrong m8. a revod cupra tdi has over 320lbft of torque hellfire (my bro) has 300lbft in his jabba sport remapped fabia.
they are quick. his fabia is slightly quicker than my 172 (lighter wheels, green filter koni adjustables) and it corners really well. you can go...
182.
the ctr is very common. doesnt make it a bad car but there isnt the same buzz when another 172/182 driver flashes you.
i think the reason ctrs can keep pace with 182s is that although the have lss torque and only 10hp more in theory when put on RR with induction kit fitted they can put...
my gf likes the clio and doesnt want me to get a differenct car. she thinks it looks like an angry puppy.
scrappy dappy doo !!
but lets face it subtlety has nothing to do with this neither does style. i.e look at the mingus maximus that is the impreza .. erk still people look in awe and...
