hi all been around a while, really into my track driving and every car ive had up untill now has been very track orientated, striped out bear, coilovers and a decent setup. thing is ive only done it with older cars, ie my old ph1 clio turbo, silly ammounts of r5,s my old gordini turbo and a few...

i think he ment drop in a 172/182 engine as per the pics?

my home built mk1 clio turbo, gtt turbo engine, 3 inch full zorst, 1.2 gear box (mental) t25 turbo and only one bucket seat and a dash for interior. all built in my back garden nearly 4 years ago now kept it for so long and never really used it. other car would be my 200 sx s14, 12 sec sqm...

dnt you need a ring spaner and a allen key? look down the centre of the center bit. ive never had a problem using this method

id say the fuel filter to be honest, its the most obvious thing. u put crap probably dirty fuel in, could be leaning out when driving to if its that cloged up so id change that asap then go from there

thats crazy man, very quick time sorry to hijack ne1 know how you get around running a decat and having 2x lambda sensors? does it not make the car run funny?

what was done to this car?

terminal speed has a direct relevance to the power the car produces. terminal times can go up and down quite a bit due to traction and such like. have a proper look into it get 2 diff cars with rufley the same power and ull get rufley the same terminal speed one can be rwd and one fwd, the rwd...

the quarter mile time doesnt really prove how much power the car ruffley has, u need to look at the terminal speed. how fast was it crossing the line?

dnt see how this guy has just turned round and out of the mouth on his fat head said i can beat anything newhere. how more big headed can u get. not sure if andy cooke is guna have another crack but i do know hes got a few more tricks under the vonnet of the rainbow warrior ;) bring on rwub's

www.1an.co.uk/adey/pgti.WMV the bit at the end is quite funny, sorry about the poor quality ;)

cheers for all the help guys, but ive been wrong all along, when we brought the car 2 years back we were told it was a 16v but 2day while sorting a few probs out i decided to take the rocker cover off and to my suprise there were only 8 valves!!!! im a bit fuming to be honest but i dnt think...

iv had a prob with the tdc lead, renault cleaned it and said it would be fine. it caused the car to cut out or not fire when trying to start, thought that this might be the problem but its defo slower some days than others. does anyone do turbo or charger conversions? as the do for the 16valve...

all ive got is a backbox at the mo. but was wondering if there were any companys that could remap the ecu

neone know of anycompany that offer tuning parts for this car? or anyone run this engine with mods?

what power/torque do these put out? i think there might be a prob with mine as somedays it feels quick and othes really underpowered even getting slaughtered by a standard vtr!!! theres a slight leak from the thermostat housing and theres loads of crap on the crank sensor/tdc lead could this be...

yep that old engine that forever out performs all of its bigger rivals, the turbo setup on them is basic, a turbo and an intercooler and a bit of pipework would be all that extra than whats found on a n/a setup car

its the gtturbo engine mate

it aint that much difference as i did the conversion myself i lifted both engines, u cant really think that 200cc capacity increase weighs much, the fact that its an old style engine with less parts might actually make it lighter. dnt be getting all shirty, it was only an estimate [Edited by...

i did, the car is a 1.2 clio with a diff engine

nope 176bhp at the last rr from a 1.4 http://www.rtoc.org/members/member.asp?MemberID=11112http://www.rtoc.org/members/member.asp?MemberID=11112

its a 1.2 rn clio, kerb weight of 815kg everything but the dash a a bucket seat is out. so if blink172 recons its around 150kgs out that gives me a ruff guess of 665kgs, at the mo that makes my cars power out to be 264bhp per tone est. ive just poped the headgasket and am doing a top end...

how heavy do u think my 1.2 clio is with nothing but a seat in it?

i get the same noise in my rxe clio, must be a comon thing

mind i test drove one and ended up not buying it, 172 cup, from a renault dealer 8000 miles on the clock ,10k, a gorgeous burgandy colour. when i drove it it just wasnt enough for me. no kick no zest no va va voom? just me then. ive driven turbo cars nearly all of my driving life and u just cant...
