RenaultSport clio 172 mk2
not really mate, im very satisfied with it but am getting used to the power now. i wanted to keep my air con so went for the single body. im jus currently contemplating the idea of adding to what i have. i'd rather not have itb's still jus because i want my a/c, this turbo kit seems ideal as you still get to keep the a/c etc.
yeah but what's the point? spend a load more on a body conversion only to have shorter trumpets that make a load less power... almost identical power to single body. pointless.
only other possible way around it would involve a lot of fabrication and money, again, pointless imo

I'll just fit it at work.
Drive it right it next to my workbench and tool locker.
How long have you got loads of potential issues.
Clucth going would IMo be the first issues but depend how its installed quality wise.
I'd do it.
In an instant tbh.
Even if it goes wrong, bits on these cars are cheap or readily available.

i would consider it.
my ff 172 51 plate isnt worth much really and so wouldnt mind moding it even if its for a bit of short lived fun.

Doesn't seem realistic. One can go faster than that with much less money. For instance:

0-60: 5,5 sec.
0-100: 12,1 sec.

Could just buy a 200sx!
Powers at the right wheels too
My thinking too tbh. But I can see the attraction.

Franx, thanks for your quick review. How much quicker did it feel? I'm assuming because it's a smaller turbo on low boost that there's no real lag with it?
Oh and btw, the cup is 80-90kg lighter, not 150kg
Yep, small turbo. It's almost instantly there, almost instant power i'd say. But you know any turbo takes time to give power, so does this one. The exhaust has to get it going so first you hit the throttle and little after it starts to spinnnn :evil:
mind you, they set it up with a completely standard exhaust, cat and all, this has to be restrictive as hell but still huge power gains. (220 hP!?)
I'd say it does 0-60 in about 5,5sec or so ? take off the 17inch wheels and there you go, even more smile on the face i'd think.
it pulled away from a scooby in 5-th gear on the ring, and it was a modded scooby with a lot of NM !
My experience , it feels like a kart.. a lot of fun to drive.
i'm putting my car on a weighing-bridge tommorow because now i'm curious. My car's an import so it had to be tested here in Holland to get it registered. The guy who sold me told me it weighed at 916kg ?? (here my car is called RS Ragnotti, i think it's the same as the Cup)
Does the cup have the crappy chairs (no leather/alcantra ? light weight?) Also no engine bay -isolation, no esp, no airco, lighter windshield/windows, no backscreen/window wiper, no side airbags ?

This is/ could be endless discussion hahahaha
plenty of nice cars to buy, definately ! This is about making something special that no-one else has... and leaving other cars behind that just simply wo'nt/can't believe what's happening to them when going for it . I like the way the Cup, on good suspension, handles like a kart when it's fast, not many cars out there where you get this feeling.
It's one of the "hottest hatches" around !
RS RIP
This is a low pressure system, designed NOT to raise the pressure , upgrading would be exhaust i would say.
Once upgrading you'll have to start on engine internals, making you spend loads...
This is a low cost fast little clio-mod
RS RIP
Inside you could hear something of a discharge, but no pssj or anything. Have'nt had the chance to hear it from the outside..
I'm not too crazy about it, would want a quiet one..
Fast one in disguise !

172 cup
why bother the 172/182 gearbox is fragile enough without the massive torque from a turbo im scared to get mine chipped cos of how s**t the box is and ive got 135 quids worth of top spec gearbox oil used by clio cup teams
SLK 350
RS Ragnotti = 172 Cup
172 Cup = 990kg
172 = 1070kg
Something like that.
Again thanks for the update.
