Top work! Got to wonder why none of the tuning companies have got clio's running this level of power!

 

[jablitt]

awesome!

 

[Rocky_24]

[Rocky_24]

Top work! Got to wonder why none of the tuning companies have got clio's running this level of power!

because they would charge huge amounts to do it lol, scoff is a legend made rwd 5's in his garage at home, then stuck volvo lumps in 5's and made big power...

scoff runs a tuning company so he can do this to 172's its just that most of the people on here would rather go to k tec or bb tuning and spend 5k and get 20bhp lol.

 

[theduck]

I didnt realise Scoff actually ran a tuning company, though I new he did the work. I know it would cost huge money to pay a tuner to get a car to that level, but you'd think they might have one, like Scoff has, as a flagship look what I can do type thing.

 

[MaLicE]

hnmmm most of the renault tuners seem to be all show and no go lol, every other tuner turbo kit i have seen people produce have a stupidly small power boost and costs loads and always seems to go wrong...

scoffs just seems to get better and better! he runs or part owns or part runs not sure which nocturnal developments.

 

[Fred@BTM]

legend!!!

 

[Ian_182]

Awsome stuff.Must be the fastest thing on here ever...

 

[adam172]

[nufctoon]

[Brett]

Thats mental. Not far off Veyron pavce down the 1/4. I think they're 10.4ish.

 

[Winston]

[scotty2hotty81]

[MaLicE]

sparkie is a legend too!

scoff one year at trax did the 0-60... went past the brake sign and carried on going... ended up in the gravel... no mechanical failure... just fancied a drive lol! also saw the poor sod push a 5 in to silverstone up the sliproad think his starter motor went lol! he then had a little sleep lol!

 

[Leeshez]

OMG. Fast.

 

[Brasseye]

Respect

Nice work

 

[maynard]

has he still got his 5?

he's got one on the go a the moment, a mk1 R5. sold the others

 

[aaronc]

Incredibly quick for FWD, well done.

 

[Scoff]

Thanks for the words guys, very kind.

I don't have a hand in Nocturnal Developments these days, mechanical work was starting to drive me a bit loopy. I started a small business dealing with Standalone EFI, installation and specialist mapping - http://www.efi-parts.co.uk

As andy says, no nitrous involved, just good old fashioned tuning

 

[Scoff]

Here was another run I did in ESC qualifying while setting the car up. Slightly slower ET because of a bog in 2nd gear but 144mph terminal speed.
