Met with Ben tonight (Coops turbo) to sell some tyres n saw it as an ideal opportunity to get some pics of our boosted Clios. These two pics are from my iPhone, he bought some fancy photography gear with him n took some great shots so keep your eyes peeled for them if you like both old and newer...
They now meet round the corner at Hatton country world, might be an idea if they let you in? Either way I'd be up for this as I only live 5 mins away, but if its trophies only i understand. Red lion is also a good shout
Well I have to say that's probably one of the best videos I've seen for a while!!! Had me grinning the whole time especially when he started throwing the back end out! Awesome car with some serious grunt! The driver seems pretty handy too!
Great write up really enjoyed it! Always wanted to go to Le Mans... Will look into it for 2014!
Quick question though, what is the whole "failsport" thing about?
Combination of crap driving, too much confidence and the rear tyres were shot. The camera angle does make it look slow but I'm pretty sure I was at the top end of 3rd so would have been 80mph+
I echo the above too... if its only 20bhp (you wont really notice much difference with this setup in terms of overall pace, but may drive a lot better) you want then the RS2 and 197 cams package seems to be great!
Im not sure if it was DAN@SJM or someone else that managed to crack 200bhp with...
Very true, it was a similar spin.
I had just dropped the instructor back where the video starts and decided to go back out on my own for a couple of hot laps... combination of poor driving and too much confidence was the cause of it really, although i think my rear tyres were possibly another...
Really? a 172 Cup with circa 90k miles on usually goes for about £1500-1800... the ECU and turbo alone would fetch that in parts nearly. Unless you dont mean my car?
I think il pass mate, gonna stick with the OEM look. Just been looking through some pics of bright wheels and i think it does look a bit tacky, thanks though!
No plans to sell but just saw this thread n though I'd see what people think....
