And Will's only got another spot over on cliotrophy, seriously, he's only had his T a fraction of the time I've had mine and he's already had ten times the spot!

Franx there are to many considerations to be made when choosing any type of tuning, however the biggest consideration will always be finances.
Personaly I look at the costs and what features of the vehicle will have to be lost.
As previously mentioned with a supercharger it's uneconomical...
Well franx I've been to ktec and drove their low boost converted clio, and thought it was very impressive.
Hence the reason why, when it's being suggested that turbos come in with a big bang, I can confidently state that it's pure poop as I've actually driven one.
No your wrong ashy gtt, turbos and boost are the most evil things in the clio world merely talking about a turbo anywhere near your clio will have the gearbox falling to pieces LOL.

Was pissing my self laughing as I was alongside you for ages before you looked over.
If your mate's into track days I've got quiute a few booked up this...
It was indeed mate, just couldn't think of hand signal to let you know it was me. LOL
First time I've had my bike out for a good thrash this year
You can tell you've been putting the effort in with the cleaning as the cup looked very shiny.
So when do you fancy a rematch?
Gary when the better weather gets here WE'LL attepmt to remove the swirls as theres no way I'm doing it on my own as it takes ages. It'll only cost you a few beers to cover the cost of the products used. Probably see good results if we snow foam, wash, srp(with the rotary), pc lights and...
