Doesn't look right IMO, it's missing something.

Don't think that's real. No way would Nintendo heat-shrink wrap a box like that...what purpose would it serve? He's done that just to make it look genuine...which it's not IMO. If he's a seller of consoles as he says, he's boxed one that he's found in incredibly good nick and tried to make it...

It's not a "kit", is it? I thought they were built from the ground up? Or could this be done to a standard one? 300 bhp, 800 kgs, that's a comfy 375 bhp per ton then. Turbo not necessary I'd say.

They're different from 172 to 182? Can't say I've ever noticed a difference on any of the RS clios I've driven.

A man after my own heart...;) Welcome.

Dave, stick up your link to the flying Combe lap. Here's mine for comparison... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk7nzoc7sGU

400 lbft - that would be intersting. What's the power?

110 v 111 bhp per ton. Too close to call if given death from the off I'd say.

Remove resevoir, all pipework, pump, pulley, powered rack and all the fluid...and replace that lot with a manual rack and shorter belt. I can't tell you any more though, Rentech Mike did it all for me.

Are these costly to maintain? How long do they last?

Bear in mind that my Cup is currently 206kgs lighter than a standard 172 (89kgs lighter when it left the factory) and there's an easy 50kgs or so if I was prepared to go that far. 265 would be no problem from a car so BIG to start with. ;)

Disappointed Jay, read again ;)

Wow.

If anyone's still looking, I drove Rentech Mike's 172 with no power steering and a standard steering wheel this afternoon. F*** me, it felt like it still had power steering fitted - but then I'm used to a 350mm wheel and the standard one is quite a bit bigger. In other words, if you're...

Mine just gets a light blow with an air hose every 6k. Ran my ITG panel filter like that for the best part of 100k miles with no noticeable build up of crap or decrease in preformance.

Impressive stuff dave...I had no idea you'd lost that much but now your flying lap around Combe is starting to make sense...221 per ton FFS ;) What mods gave you the 215 bhp?

I'm out of breath looking at that...lots of effort! Nice.

LOL, you know I'd get 100% humped over a mile. I'm at 80-90 mph in less than a 1/4 mile, so after that I'm struggling against the wind, and all the others can just power on through. I might stand a chance over a 1/4 mile against some of them. I have a reasonable chance against most on the...

No one said it was 100% accurate. Over two years, and spannning 30,000 miles it has given consistent readings on my Cup (graphs from seperate runs overlaid match excatly...look at the start and end of the rev range for both lines on my graph). Also, standard cars tend to run as expected on...

Lose 7 kgs, gain 7 bhp = +10 bhp per ton. Starting at Renault's quoted 1,021 kg kerb weight, everything I've removed or swapped has saved 117 leaving me at 904.

A conservative estimate is 7kg saving from binning the pump, pipework, resevoir, and swapping the powered rack for a manual one. Lose 7kgs, gain 7 bhp...winner all round.

f**king hell.

I'd have that.

Risky not to. I told mine, no extra charge, just a note made.

I've aboslutely no idea at all I'm afraid, Rentech Mike did it all for me.

LOL, that's exactly what I'm talking about.

Quality thread. Should be renamed "Darwin Candidates" tbqh.

If there wasn't a slight possibility that that could actually happen it would be funny ;)

Oof, that pic of the gravel trap afterwards, no debris anywhere, just marks in the gravel every 10m or so where he cart-wheeled through...f***ing hell.
