Just dropped the editor of PFC an email about a potential mag feature. Will let you know if I get a response...

Good effort mate.

Might be worth starting a new thread if it comes about.

You could have three groups Turbos Vs Superchargers Vs ITB's would be a laugh at somewhere like brunters

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172

Yeah I'll start a new thread if anything comes of it. No need to hijack Ben's thread further (even though I already have done!)

Yeah, but be warned you will leave wanting some form of extreme engine mod

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172

im after one of the three, i know that. monies are always an issue, and i dont think itb's will give me much more performance tbh.

I was thinking the same, but the more I looked into TBs, they seem quite expensive for the gains.
I would happily spend a bit extra for something like a SC or turbo.

Do it Dave, we can both be idiots! :rasp:

I have ITB's so i could be the ITB'd clio of the 3 cars

How are you finding the dished wheel? Coping with the fact you cant reach the indicators whilst your hands are on the wheel!?

I think the proper track slagged SC Clio should be a part of this

Tbh, Get a set of PH1s they are the best any how but ours wont be ready till start of march. ITB'd 423's

 

[T.Trophy]

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172

Well depending on what PFC get back to Darren with, but realistically there must less than 15 turbo and supercharged cars doing the rounds and a handfull of well tuned ITB'd cars so if we could have the usual 0-60, 0-100, top speed runs etc... Maybe even throw in a run at an impartial dyno so that all the doubters can be put in there place would be good.

 

[DannyR]

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172

Ph1 Vs Ph2 Shootout of ITB'd, SC'd and Turbo'd

Mine won't be completed until March too! Respray, cage, seats all taking time!

A full car respray

What colours do you have in mind or is it a secert?

Ah you will have to wait and see! Its getting some special treatment in the next few months:
Group N engine mounts, Samco hose kit, wheel refurb, cage, respray, tyres, coilovers, buckets and hopefully if I can afford after all that a forged bottom end! All hopefully before FCS 2010!

I would be well up for this, we could have all the SC'd cars, all the turbo'd cars then a few of the best ITB'd cars! Awesome

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172

I've put a thread up about it under "Clio Discussion" but so far it's just being used as an excuse for people to troll / say it's a waste of money / say it's a willy waving competition / act bitter because they have a 1.2.
The more names we can get down the better. If a lot of people are up for it and it goes ahead I'd imagine we'd be able to get at least a decent 2 page spread.

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172

I started work tonight on my car. Heres pics so far, its getting a full strip down, full service, wheels refurbed, coilovers fitted, then to top it off im painting it white:

[Ben_Stevo172]

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172

Doors stripped off aswell as suspension. The whole shell is prepped now inc boot floor, under arches etc.... and just needs masking which I will get on with on mon/tue/wed and im painting it on thu/fri. The shell should be finished with the coilovers fitted and wheels refurbed by hopefully two weeks today, thats my target. Then I will just have the panels to paint:

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172

Nope, lol! Thats why I used to be a bonus monster when I was painting!

 

[Slammed172]

Re: Ben_stevo172 - Supercharged Monaco 172

I assume your painting it in the garage ?

Prepping and masking as time consuming as fooook.
