1.2 16v 0-80mph video

[Martin_172]

Basically, the flux capacitor helps because once you reach 88mph, you can effectively travel at the speed of light, which is pretty damned fast.

im on a tight budget and to be honest a clio is bad enough after 100mph i dont think its strong enough to hold up at the speed of light

 

[The Hoff]

Clio here is fine upto 140...

 

[my_cougar49]

come on guys give him a break its only a little sunday afternoon project thing. We all have to start somewhere. You work with what you have and spend to your means.

Id love a turbo conversion but ill be buggered if I can afford it or to run the 182 after it! LOL

 

[Martin_172]

yep but the speed of light is aprox. 670,616,629.384 miles per hour

 

[Maxx]

Get the car rr'd it would be intresting to see the graph My 1.2 8v got 70.49 bhp and 78lbs of torguq on my run at FCS. Not bad for some exhuast/air filter mods

My 1.2 has the Super Duper Megaflow AND the Flux Capacitor, think that qualifies it as a sport tbh.

 

[Joef]

what have you done to the air box? im interested

You missed the clioSPORT bit

I own a 1.4 before anyone lays in lol


Maxx is that once you've added the theoretical 20% on? If it isn't my 1.4 has issues lol

 

[Harry_manback]

its all what you can afford, RS owners piss me off sometimes, what if i start saying

"why mod a 172 with cams or throttle bodies, just stick a v6 engine in it"
its stupid and impractical but thats what your suggesting to this guy!

lay off.
hang in there martin_89 and keep reaching for the rainbow in the sky.

 

[The Hoff]

Theres no such thing as rainbows...

No it was what I was predicting tbh with the mods I have on I have the mpi diet lump before anyone asks

why not? it's funny...

 

[Russ.]

give the lad a break, not all of us can afford to insure an rs even if we can afford one in the 1st place. so doin a few none insurance raping mods to even free up the cars engine a little bit does no one any harm. if you dont like martin postin a vid theres no need to take the piss, just leave the thread and keep it shut.

anyway jesus u tight git uve been a member of the forum 2 and half years, made over 3500 posts....and ur not a member...u must squeek wen u walk?

why not? it's funny...

No it's not, at all!

It's funny that non-rs's are more rare on CS

Lets all point at "TheJesus" and laugh!!

Different kettle of fish, in a major way.

it always is when it comes to 172/182s isn't it :S

 

[G_F]

Well yes it is. I bought mine for 13 grand odd new. Tell me a car that feels noticable quicker sub 20 grand with 3 years dealer warrenty

After cars like the Clio RS, CTR, LCR, Focus RS, Astra GSI, which all, near enough, feel as quick as each other (when you drive them, i know they are not) Your looking at an extra 100 bhp or so (300BHP-ish) for the feeling of going much quicker than the Clio, plus an extra 20 grand on top what i paid for my Cup, which i for one, cant afford.

So cars like this are at the top of their game in terms of price and newness, speed, handling, hence different kettle of fish.

I just reread the above, reads like s**t I know; my ten year old cousin is ashamed of me...

my point personally was not about the quality of the rs, if i could afford insurance on one id have one 2mora.

What i cant stand is rs owners ripping it out of the little guys who cant afford an rs whether that be to buy it in the 1st place, run it or insure it. we all share a common interest which is the clio itself whether it be big 2.0 clio...bigger v6 clio or little 1.2 clios and if martin wants to spend a few quid on a couple of bits n bobs for his car to make it better in his eyes then so be it. if he posts a vid of his 0-80 time we all know its no were near the pace of an rs but maybe some other 1.2 owners would view it and comment if it seemend noticibly quicker than their 1.2

 

[Mells]

Best way to make a 1.2 fast is to drop a 2.0 lump in it

or run it off down the biggest hill u know in neutral

 

[Mells]

a.k.a the down hill stretch on the m20 between the m26 jct and aylesford.

105 in the 1.2 beast.

tell me how this is a different kettle of fish when it comes to modifiing them then, you still get crap gains when it comes to BHB per £

and cheers to all the guys (seems to be the non RS owners!) who actually have something decent to say and who are sticking up for me!!

£5 is too expensive, I needed that to get a K&N air filter to take my car upto 300bhp... besides, 1 years membership was MORE than enough thanks!

Al, it is funny, it's a 0-80 video for a 1.2 ffs! lol

Anyway, everyone give Martin a hug, he's not feeling the love

I don’t know, I don’t modify, but we weren’t talking about that, as you said, you haven’t modified your car. But I assume people do it to get a better drag/lap time. But anyway, spending a grand or 6 on the 172/182 on engine upgrades is still cheaper than the alternative route which is Evo, Scooby etc, which new, with warranty, are like 30 large or so.

But doing it likewise to a 1.2 is silly, money could be better spent on a 1.4, 1.4 to 1.6 etc. it will probably work out cheaper upgrading to the bigger engine in the end, after declaring mods to insurance and actually buying the mods in the first place.

 

[Englebert]

From my perspective as a 1.2 16v owner i could only afford to spend a couple of hundred max per month, i had to modifying stage by stage. Throwing in an engine wasn't an option. Anyway, by making well thought out modifications you can then return it to standard come the time you want to sell up, which is what i did.

I know what you are saying but surely buying an imported Evo 6/7 for 12k ish is cheaper (and possibly more reliable!) than buying a 172/182 and spending a few grand on engine mods.

although as you say in your post, you won't get warranty if you go down this route!

but thats my point i cant afford to buy a 1.4 or 1.6

 

[damon]

yeah i agree, though i think that £21 would have been better spent on a conversion to a 1.8T vag. Dont forget that it will cost another £2 or so on your insurance....

You know people go wildly off the point on forums because they cant help but stick their oar in. Forums operate in parallel universes where you can pluck money from the air.

The video is a bit crappy but if you can do another one then it would be an interesting benchmark.

 

[Martin_172]

will get one tomorrow now that i finally have brakes to stop the car lol

Al, it is funny, it's a 0-80 video for a 1.2 ffs! lol

Jokes are funny, how is a 0-80 video funny?!?!

 

[boxxy]

i quite enjoyed the video... yeh yeh u all think im sad lol but oh well. just got a 1.2 8v mkII clio.. only wanting to do subtle little mods to it like induction. thats it i think... have to giv it more thought before i decide to do anything else tho.

 

[Martin_172]

glad my video pleased someone welcome to cliosport boxxy!

depends how far you want to go for mods you can get a pannel filter for £30 or so which is just a better quality free'er flowing replacement for the airfilter, lets the engine breath better or you can go for an induction kit which will sound the nuts (especially on the 8v engines) but can suck in hot air and reduce performance, what i found with my induction kit was that it made an improvement on a cold day but lost me power and torque on a hot day!

 

[boxxy]

Ta for the welcome

yeh thats what i was thinking. im not sure which way to go... been thinking about it alll day. is bringing a pipe or some tubing from the grill to the induction an idea?... i no theres still a possibility of hot air.. but this would be reduced right?

 

[Steve2004]

Urgh, what an awful video, you can't see anything.

Do another one?

well fitting a cold air feed helps but theres still far to much hot air, the problem starts especially when your sitting at a junction or traffic lights so all the hot air under the bonnet is just collecting and then when you try to pull away you have hardly any power lol
