Had a go against one of these away from lights yesterday...pulled away quicker and then pulled away quite easily...easier than I thought...was very proud of my clio! K-tec Stealth has definitely made it bit quicker!

I have found these a good match for the Renault sport Clios!

 

[Alastair.]

even match if not quicker in a straight aint they?

 

[Poopensharten]

Not all that quick these, 144 bhp per ton.

Its the 2001 Ibiza Cupra's you have to watch, these are quicker and are closer in performance to a 1*2 @ 163 bhp per ton

Weight has killed the newer one tbh

 

[Ben_Stevo172]

Yeah and the old ones are usually heavily modified, making them rapid!

 

[gaz44]

Ibiza's are gash. No feel to them at all. Yeah, you can mod them but so what - that's easy!

I had a bit of fun with a new cupra FR on the way home today and exact same thing happened to me. Pulled away slowly to begin with and then pulled away loads when i got to about 3rd gear.

Quicker or not I bet the turbo makes them feel quicker, in a straight line at least.

They are easy and cheap to get decent power gains from too
