JJ172. They called it their "Performance model" I got used to the NOISE so much that I thought the V6 was a wee kitten when I got it.
Long constant droaning at crusing speeds where annoying but zapping around made up for it. They did say that at anytime they would get the noise level to suit...
Well Im not going to come on here telling you to put it behind you and forget all about it. Its easier said than done.
I dont blame you Bill, but I do hope you can consider going to the meets?
How many is that leaving the forum now?
I know if I had a Williams Id wrap it up in cotton wool...

I accept that the "real" figures may be a wee bit of a fib?
But what would the 172 bhp be, had they tested it at 6000 rpm instead of reving the nuts of it @6413 ?
Just looked at the Superchips London site. The power curve chart http://www.superchips.co.uk/curves/cliosport.pdfhttp://www.superchips.co.uk/curves/cliosport.pdf
for the 172 says 174bhp @ 6413rpm before its chipped? So it was a Clio 174?
The V6 chart says 215bhp @ 6125rpm...

I saw it tonight for the first time in months and Wow! hasnt it changed a lot.
Still Mr (I dont know how to dress) Clarkson, but the format I felt was much more like a chat show. Beats the usual jumping ( or squeezing ) in and out of big fast unaffordable supercars all night.
3.0L (2954cc) inline 6 cylinder engine
24 valve, twin overhead cam
230 HP (200HP in non-turbo Supras)
0-60 mph in 6.4 sec
If the above is your Toyota, then I can see you may well have had some fun.
But I hope you werent speeding;)
