Just read your latest post. You need not worry about the box ratios as youll never make 145-50mph with 170bhp anyway - as my car proves. The Clio V6 does 147mph according to tests. The speedo on my 1.2 Clio said I was doing 115 - but theres always error - so Id say it was 105mph absolute...

Ive got a fair engine and various complimentary mods - and I can tell you for sure that the top speed on my 16v doesnt sound any faster than you guys. Like the Captn says, its down to drag - and Im sure I need not remind you that the 16v has a huge scoop to gulp in air and lots of various...

The guy before me had head, cams, Verniers, re-mappable ECU and various other mods done. But not a 2.0 bottom end (as far as I know). Actually, it coulnt be a 2.0 bottom end as Mat Browns 2.0 definitely has a higher top speed than mine - but the acceleration of both our cars seems very similar...

I was on the way home to my village this morning when a circa 1993 Fiesta Turbo came up behind me. When the cars ahead cleared, I wellied it to 70mph (the limit), blew away the Fester with its dump valve hissing - and slowed down in good time for the upcoming roundabout. At the first...

I think what were finding out here, step by step, is that there isnt that much difference out on the road between a car that is slower in theory (Pug 106 Rallye), but is being driven by an aware driver. Theres no way you could keep up if you were in 4th!! Ben R - I did mean the Rallye had...

If its yellow it was definitely a GTi. 1/4 mile in just under 16 secs out of the box and almost identical performance to the 91-96 Clio 16v. You would have had it if youd not had the extra 150+kgs of passengers in the car. Strangley, its at high speeds that cars like the 16v/Willy/172...

Jeez, these guys must have it so good. They just sit and wait for the inevitable stream of people like us who fall in love with the best, but most fragile hot hatches! I wish I owned a Renault parts franchise!! Can you imagine being the poor sod who bought the Volvo franchise?! My dads 960...

Nick - if Mat Brown is running 14.7 sec 1/4 miles, then surely yours isnt the fastest in the UK (I feel a shootout coming on!).

lol @ Nick!! I presume youll be at the Saaaffend meet on Sat night? Ill be there with Pete (Smoothed Clio) - having polished my car properly this time as I got a comment that I should wax it!!!

Ill be around on Tuesdays and Wednesdays unitl I go back to Uni too (Bristol, doing a Masters) and youll see my car in the drive again on those days. I usually have the bonnet open for some reason or another! I saw your car parked up a while ago and posted then, but I guess you didnt see it...

You know when the ARB bushes are knackered when you cant corner with the same confidence as you could a little while ago! Ive just spent 10 weeks away from home, so I really notice the difference in handling compared to when I was last blasting down my local roads!

Thats the slogan of the Renault franchise. The slogan has been that for years; theyve been ripping people off for years too!

Is this the replacement for TooFast and 172Slayer??

Wow!!! Good on ya mate!! Ill be looking forward to that! Can we make sure that itll be in Wales, as Bristol is a bit too built up for real hot hatch antics. Unless you have any suggestions... Maybe we could go 1/4 miling??

Hi You had a Cliosport sticker in the back... I was the black 16v in front of you with the black wheels, all the way onto the M5. Do you work at that finance office thats tucked just off Melrose Place in Clifton?? Youll see mine and my mates 16vs (his is red with 17s) both parked in...
