260bhp/tonne Clio



  Faded trophy
that is absilutly stunning i dont know much about engines but the spec on that speaks for it self
 
Looks like a fair bit of wedge has gone into this car, shame your power curve can't match the low end of standard but obviously this is purely down to the cams.

ACL Race main/thrust bearings & King Race big end bearings ..., where can I buy these and would you have the part no. busy with my n/a and your set-up is great

Fantastic taste in cars mate and the clio is clearly a weapon!

Any vids of sheer acceleration?
 
I know this is a funny thing to say about a track car, but it's spotless!! Love it!! Detailers dream ;)

Drove the car back from Tour-De-Force this morning. Did 190 miles and averaged 36mpg :D

The car is running too warm so need to either get a new radiator or modify the current one as its not getting enough air.

good bit of engineering work done by Craig (APD) there:D i was at the workshop on friday when you phoned about the timing.... looking at the 1st pic of the car you can see the flow to the rad is quite restricted with the cross member and oil cooler both covering it. is it possible to relocate the oil cooler to the left to free up some room ?

lol ive spoke to craig on many occasions recently.

Removed the radiator about 30 mins ago, sending it back to Serck to see if they can make me a new one with an extra 3 inches on top. Will fit well and should provide quite a bit more cooling.

if that doesn't work look at ducting and blocking off the gaps around the rad, air is lazy stuff, it'd much rather go around your radiator than through it. :)

for the title i have said the clio weights 910kg but im not sure tbh. Once i get it all sorted ill get it properly weighted.

Nice work :D im sure your 205 is getting used more than my Clio :(

I was using the lets torque bhp calculator to work out bhp/tonne (http://www.letstorquebhp.com/calculator.asp)

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 232Weight without Driver (KG) : 910Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 259.04

Ive only done two track days this year. Looking at doing rockingham when i get back from holiday. Then i move to london so then it will be a struggle to do any for a year.
