Personally I couldnt see myself using the Elise to trundle to work and back in (60 mile roundtrip), its just not meant for that. Its meant for trackdays and some weekend fun. My mates got the right idea, got an elise as a weekend car which he only uses when the weathers nice, drives around in a...
Ummm no answer from me! Just thought Id reply to get it back to the top, maybe someone else can answer!!!
Personally, I thought any car after like 1990 had automatic choke, my E-reg VW Polo had a automatic choke!! That was class, sliding round every corner, so much fun to drive!! 0-60 in...
Have I missed summit on this thread? People comparing the Cup to the Elise si what it sounds like! 13k vs 25k+, of course the Elise is gonna be more involving, faster round track, better handling etc etc etc, you get whats you pay for!
96bhp is very impressive for a 1.4, considering its got 80bhp for phase 1 or 75bhp for phase 2/3 as standard! I know scribblers (clio14) phase 2 went on RR @ 88bhp with a few mods.
How much did the flowed head, reground cam and bigger vavles cost? and where did you get them done?
Yeh, the red added 10bhp at least didnt it Rich? Should have got go faster stripes as well, they add at least 20bhp, the RSC screen banner adds 5bhp so Ive been told...
:)
0-60 = 11.5 seconds as standard, strapped digi camera to dash of mine and timed it at 10 seconds uphill -> http://members.lycos.co.uk/zcliohttp://members.lycos.co.uk/zclio under videos.
For a 1.4 youll be lucky to find owt that can keep up, VTRs can be kept up with, 90% novas cept those 2.0...
A Clio RT isnt even in the same league as a Punto GT. NA 1.4 vs turbo 1.4 its pretty obvious which is the fastest. Its like saying Id like to see how ur GTT would compare against a Impreza P1... dickhead
Lol, didnt put up much of a fight, its bloody rich off RSC hehe, but twas funny, but at the moment, my RT would whip the pants off your 19 16v rich, only cos mines not in 5 million pieces lol
The power will not go up unless youve got loads of cold air feed running to it and a vavler bonnet, even then, itll be nowt noticable, but it will roar like fock!
Cos they think there god!!!
I usually get the old boy racer coming after me as well, on way to work this morning, new corsa 1.2 right behind me, Im sat behind a lorry in the outside lane overtaking, Corsa keeps swerving left and right behind me right up my arse even though theres no where to...
Nearly 18 seconds to 60?!?!?! Surely this cars shouldnt be allowed on the road!! Bloody dangerous, imagine trying to pull out a junction or summit or going down sliproad onto motorway and only being able to join traffic at 40-50, crazy!!!!
A very big piss taker, and this is coming from me who owns a RT!!!
The 1400 8v is a good engine, lot better then equivalent competitors but its not match for any F7P or F7R engine, come on those babys push out 137-150bhp!!!
Yup, was talking to Dunc off RSC with a GTT lump in his Clio the other day, said hed been out with Lowe (also GTT lump) running around 14 PSI and it had left a 172, but old RT_fanatic says hes got no GTT lump. Even with a GTT lump Id doubt itd keep up with a CTR on the twisties.

According to what RT fanatic posted there, just got twin webbers, induction and...
Faster then a CTR? So your RT does 0-60 in less then 7 seconds and can hit 100 in less then 17? Top speed of more then 150mph as well?
Id expect your RT to 0-60 in 9 seconds at best, thats if the 18s dont scrub like hell and slow it down.
Basically, your talking out your stink hole
