[swordjo]

Why is it not?

 

[paul6]

was askin if it is!

 

[Craigus]

Seems feasible with those mods

Yes, quite easily in fact.

 

[Olliec]

With those mods and running that sort of boost I wouldnt be supprised if it was running between to 280 - 300BHP.

 

[paul6]

maybe i should look at px'ing the 172!

 

[Olliec]

maybe i should look at px'ing the 172!

It will be quick once the wheelspin stops but thats about it. Keep the 172 bud!

 

[Daz.]

Still have a soft spot for these - I remember creaming all over the first one I ever saw parked up

 

[jamier27]

i used to have one with a bigfilter on it and it sounded superb!! easily modded and very strong engine. Stay clear of the feeble 16v turbos though.
easily 300 bhp i would say.

Standard ones will do a 0-100 in 14.9 (same as a r26r) but if you like flinging your clio about round corners probably not a good choice of car

 

[Coby.]

Could easily be that Bhp....IIRC my Bro-In-Lsw had that Turbo and similar mods and he had it RR'd at 312bhp so yes I'd say 300bhp is quite realistic as is the Torque Figures.

I'm thinking of going to a Fiat Coupe next year.

 

[Tupps]

Nothing outrageous there

Lad i know has one running 270bhp

 

[Scutch]

Those 5 cylinder engines are highly tuneable, but they will hit a limit eventually.

evo6 fmic
TI straight induction pipe
ramair big induction kit
performance plugs
superspool turbo running 1.3bar
full 3" stainless exhaust system with decat
adjustable regulator
walbro 255 fuel pump with direct power feed
aquamist 1s system
TI map producing just over 300bhp 291ft/lbs

No reason with these mods that it wont be running 300bhp

I still really like these cars and wanted one badly many moons ago...

 

[Scutch]

Yeah, before I got my first Clio Williams 3, I was 1 day away from buying a blue Coupe 16v Turbo.

My mate had a moon grey 20v turbo LE imported from Belgium from new, and it was unbelievable back then. Such a lovely car.

 

[Daniel]

I love them, i've had 3 now iirc.

Back in the day I wanted a Brand new Metallic Red one with black leather. I've only had black ones though.

 

[jesus]

Fiats should not look that good tbh!

 

[ryangt]

just sold my 172 to get one . this will be my 3rd lol 330bhp straight line speed the clio is dust !

 

[scott1205]

my mate has just got rid ov one with 250 bhp

sound was unreal and couldnt believe how fast it was

i realy like these cars with the right wheels they look mint

 

[Aluco]

I really don't like the rear lights.

 

[Jamie86]

easily modded and very strong engine. Stay clear of the feeble 16v turbos though.

Wouldn;t agree with that, granted it is an old engine design but some pretty big power 'Grales around which is essentially the same engine bar a few differences to the head (not sodium filled vlaves on 'grale's iirc)

Would say like most others that that one could be that kindda power, but my friend has a Yellow 20vt with a few mods and yet on a decent twisty round can't keep up with my Clio or my friends 225

Nice for motorway/ dual carriageway fun though

 

[JonnyK]

easily could be 300bhp!

I just need an intercooler and map to see a smidgeon over 310 hopefully on mine!

may even do a little project thread on it at some stage on here!

to put into perspective how quick these are... from 40 to 120 (on my private land ) there was nothing in it at all! with my mates 07 plate audi RS4..

 

[NathJ]

Went in one of these last week and i can safely say what a effing waste of money, didnt seem that fast tbh and it was supposedly 250bhp ? hmmm. wouldn't bother look horrible too

 

[JonnyK]

my old hybrid "seemed" quicker as do most lighter cars.. but the coop would kill it. wouldnt call it a waste of money! they can be picked up very cheap now and are reliable if looked after!

 

[Gaz.]

Ferrari In Affordable Trim. Not quite, but I'd have a 20vT in a flash. Was the fastest FWD production car in it's time.
