there is still naff all even if you add an RS2. But hey if OP wants to spend £1700 for 15bhp so be it, each to his own. Drive ability is the only real thing that is improved with these breathing mods.

Glad you're ok. I had pretty much the same accident as this back in February 11 in my blue 182, some kid hammering round a blind corner in the middle of the road doing about 70, I had no buckets harnesses nothing but manage to get out with just a bit of whiplash. I think it's luck more than...

Buy a better car if your not satisfied with how they are, all those mods you mention you would be lucky to see 175bhp.

Depends if the clutch is fully slipping the revs would raise and the car would be going nowhere, if the clutch is grabbing then slipping then grabbing and slipping it would cause this sensation, but eventually IF it is this, it will only get worse. But as I allready said try cheaper options...

Could be clutch slipping? Try small things first that don't cost much like, change the plugs and clean the throttle bodie it could be full of shyte. Change air filter. if none of that works just take it into your local garage, you don't need a specialist. failing all that, if you say it only...

Sorry I made your ass swore.

Yeah I love Evo's so much, actually it all stemmed from OP mentioning the evo and someone which was adiment about his car being equal with the evo in question to which I disagree'd the evo wasn't a car I pulled out my ass which you seem to think, if I wanted to bring up a car that would be a lot...

Why do you always do posts that are like answers to questions no one asked? are you hurt that people have realised your previous comments were nonsense? I am already a member on the evo forums thanks, you can buy me an evo if you like. now let this thread die, like your brain. It's extremely...

Keep the flamer

Ill have to get myself a car that doesn't need locknuts to hold the coil pack down then, perhaps an evo. and as you so say, obviously a turbo clio is only suitable for people with knowledge like you. Which gives even more reason why an evo is better, you don't need to be a guru to run one. oh...

Sorry, not your pump. Your power steering fluid bottle. Oh, and you got your rocker cover breather filter that gets boiling hot and seeps oil, don't forget to prop that up somewhere, because it likes to burn holes into your silicone hosing. and you got your coil pack that likes to fall off its...

I gave a technical reason why a 400bhp evo is quicker, maybe not better ill give you that but I explained how it would be quicker, however I disagree people won't "mind" because you often give technical clarification regardless a lot of people hate you. But I'm sure you're exactly like me mind...

I don't think a turbo clio needs more maintenance, I think they require the same. For instance people saying Evo's need servicing every 4,500* miles , when clio's will need roughly the same. Your right there is more things to go wrong on an evo, it's a more equipped car. But the thing is its...

I agree. And I'm not getting the hump at all. And I know Clios are good track cars, they are great cars, that's why I've bought three myself. I just didn't agree about the evo 6 at 400bhp a clio running circa 260bhp comment, it's car banter, not an argument as such, people are just so defensive...

When you say under 330bhp, what power are you actually running Tom? What's your exit speed @ 12.2?

Oh I'm sorry am I still going on about Evo's? I forgot this was a clio forum how silly, Clios are the best cars in the world OP, don't make threads asking what they compare too please, we're not aloud to talk about other cars.

Well done max ego points for correcting me,3,500 to 4,500 I suppose your one of the heroes who corrects grammar too. book states 4,500mls or 6 months, whichever comes first. However if you go over to evo forums you'll see a lot of evo owners do them more regularly than that as oil often gets...

Oh no, however will I sleep tonight.

It's a forum, if you don't like it don't come here you fuckwit. And you have 6,491 posts. Get some fresh air.

Yeah they need servicing every 3,500mls , and so would a 270ish bhp clio. I wouldn't like to run a clio more than 5k without even changing the oil, and no one said an evo is a cheap alternative. And an evo will last longer than a clio on track , better engine better box everything, that's not me...

Is your phase 1 allready turbo'd , or is this something your looking into? If you haven't done it yet, I'd Reccomend ED's low boost turbo conversion it's one of the cheapest turbo conversions you can buy, obviously unless your going to bolt it all on by yourself? ED's package runs roughly 230bhp...

I agree. And as I told you before I did notice it was deteriorating day by day. And to be honest I never really thrashed the grannies out of it at all, as you said to me before and I 100% agree, a 260bhp turbo clio isn't a good daily. Anyone who is going to turbo they're clio I would recommend...

Cool story.

Youre right , it must be the driver. Next time tell your mate with the evo to stop driving like a tard.

I had my clio turbo for 4 months, didn't you have one or two your self for a couple of weeks dannyR? Oh yeah they set on fire. Good previous post earlier "they are as reliable as a standard clio 172" good joke really. you can believe who you want OP but let's just put it this way, your mates...

Do you need to have both to know? I've had a micra but I haven't had a 458 Italia, does that mean I can't say it's faster? ive owner a 260/251lbft clio turbo on a good setup, and I've had friends with circa 400bhp evo 5 and 8 , actually a little bit less than 400bhp and I can tell you out of...

He will have more bhp per tonne than you, he'll have probably twice your torque and hell have 4 wheel drive. And If he's a half decent driver he will murder you round a track too, Evo's are amazing cars to handle massive power and put it to the road. but obviously a lot will disagree with me...

I agree with your mate, but not to as much exaggeration as him. A 400bhp evo 6 will pull on you

Sorry McCrae. i won't call you a liar chip, I just mean the clio won't hold down circa 300bhp like a 4WD Evo would for example. That's not to say the power isn't useable, it's just learning to drive your car in the most plentiful way you can, after owning the turbo clio for a few weeks, you...

They will be unreliable in terms of a standard car of course, and how do you get all that power down on the road? Quite simply you don't. Even with a diff@circa 285bhp the wheels spin, you just drive them gingerly, and they are still fast. Your gearbox will break though, a lot, might take a...
