Bought another 172/182 killer ;)

Wilkeh · Oct 2, 2008

It only seams to be little things that go wrong, for example a common one is the air flow meters on them, especially when you have an open cone filter.

For the whole car I would say even the "SEAT" badge on is was probably made in Germany

I wouldn't class it as a spanish car myself

PH-QUICK · Oct 2, 2008

may be fast but still looks like a shite seat!!

They are boring christ i had one with KW's 220 bhp, and it was crap hence i kept it two month's.

They are popular because its a turbo in a relativly small car, so people can get them to go quick in a straight line, if thats what gets you excited fair enough.

Oh and no Clios generally have far far less problems than these

Click to expand...

Thanks for all your negative comments so far mate, keep em coming

Cheers for the guys that like it

I used to own a 16v Clio hence why im on CS and I must say, it was probably the most unreliable car in the world. Im not saying the 172/182's are but, at the end of the day, German > French

It was your title that made me negative, and the fact i had the displeasure of owning one of these for 3 months..

lol, just like a Civic isn't a Japanese car as it's built in Swindon?

Although at least the Ibiza is actuall an old German car underneath.

Ash87 · Oct 2, 2008

looks nice, was tempted by one before i got the clio but insurance was too high for me.

BBBOOOORRRRIIIIINNNNGGGGGG i used to work for seat, keep telling yourself its a well built "german" clio slayer. i have driven a few and to sum it up: very SPANISH boring looks gear box like a soup bowl seats made of wood wheels weigh about 100kg each! my mates 106 1.6 16v xsi (gti conversion) killed one hard and on the boring straights. maybe go boast on seat enthusiast sites how fast your spanish boat is.

ps: make sure you have them rear sills waxoiled

Stig182 · Oct 2, 2008

i like it but 240bhp is abit down on power, my mates is running 339bhp ;-)

TomS · Oct 2, 2008

I'd be investing in some bigger brakes tbh

Poopensharten · Oct 2, 2008

Sorry, as someone says. Wouldnt the boys over on a Seat forum be more impressed?

Wilkeh · Oct 2, 2008

Don't understand why some of you are being bitter about it. I posted it in the "General Automotive & Motorsport" not the "Clio" thread. Why can't I show you may car here??

Nigel · Oct 2, 2008

Wilky, just as long as your happy then thats all that counts.

No ones trying to be bitter just wondering why someone with a Seat would be on Clio Sport .net?

Nice car btw

Nafeun · Oct 2, 2008

My girls comment says it all - "looks like an old grandads car"

Chrisjk · Oct 2, 2008

I like them alot, would look great with a front mount. Was going to move on to one of these next, but im torn between this and a 5 gt.

Adey. · Oct 2, 2008

bring ure car seat to oulton park on the 18th of nov and see ure 220+bhp sleeper get its ass handed to it, see if you wana go and find some clios then

r8byb · Oct 2, 2008

Exactly do what Adeyspec say's..

The fact your on a clio forum and controversially saying its 172/182 eater could be the reason your getting bitter comments ?

Christopher · Oct 2, 2008

Not exactly a looker is it?

Powered by the World's most charisma-free engine too... quick or not

The Boosh! · Oct 2, 2008

Toepher. Same engine as the Clio TT so deserves SOME respect man. Also - WHERE IS MY PICTURE?!?!?! BIT*CH xx

coatesy · Oct 2, 2008

its only a standard clio slayer since its tuned try racing a throttle bodied clio cup.

not a cup but ive asked him out on track

Ian_182 · Oct 2, 2008

I like it.A little stealthy and it will hand a clio its arse im sure.

yeah it will, a stock one.

conneh · Oct 2, 2008

Comparing a tuned car to a stock car is like, well... stupid.

I'm pretty sure a clio with throttle bodies will wipe the floor of it around a track.

Exactly. Straight line cars are boring. Clio killer - okay, whatever. It's only faster, nothing more.

Wilkeh · Oct 2, 2008

Ok guys. Chill out. The title says 172/182 and then a big wink! I know what the Clio's are like around a track and there awesome. Maybe I should of said "Eats standard 172/182 at Santa Pod". Is that better?

And a few people keep mensioning why im on this forum its because I USED to have a Clio and I liked the forum here but im not too keen now tbh. (You don't get half the abuse on other forums than here you know!)

Rob_ · Oct 2, 2008

Some proper bitter people on here.

A ko3s cupra will hand a clio its arse, standard clio or tb'd clio i dont give a shite.

A 240bhp cupra is proper quick.

If you think a cupra cant be made to be a track king then i suggest you visit castle coombe for the saloon championship held there and look out for bill brockbanks ibiza cupra handing big power evos there arse

Wilkeh · Oct 2, 2008

Haha. Cheers Rob

VeinAST · Oct 2, 2008

Love these! Nice buy

cat171 · Oct 2, 2008

I really like it, I quite like them anyway, but I really like your one, the list is great. I bet that 240bhp is mental

You go easy with it

They also say "no replacement for displacement" yes my mulleted, banjo playing cousin it's called engineering. 200bhp from a 6.7 litre V8 is not something to be proud of.

I'm properly FLOL, that touched me, nice.

As for the Spanish fly, rapid down a 1/4 no doubt...but, despite the

, 'killer' is a little rich.

Enjoy it.

ill be checking it out, next year hopefully

Fletcher · Oct 3, 2008

Not my cup of tea.

I would have upgraded the brakes too.

Adey. · Oct 3, 2008

depends what u want, itl b an nippy street car, nearly brought one a few years bk in fairness but ended up buying a 172 cup as enjoyed an exciting drive

Tucker · Oct 3, 2008

i bought one of these once and it turned out to have no wheels or doors, they were just cardboard cut-outs

that's my basis for not liking them

Modded

Harry_manback · Oct 3, 2008

People are stupid.

Jimbo-Clio · Oct 3, 2008

Surely a tunned turbo cannot be compared to a non turbo stock clio though. Its like saying a k tec turbo coversion 172 will eat a stock cupra.

My mate's got excatly the same car running 225bhp on an X.

1st point: It is quick.

2nd point: It is about as reliable as a Pulsar.

3rd Point: It handles alright i think its abit of a handfull in the wet but then again its not a go kart like a 172.

4th point: If you want a good all round fast standard car Clio.
If you want somthing that is Turbo Modable and fast that you dnt care if it breaks all the time why not buy a pulsar not a cupra?

Correct me if im wrong, but hes running far more BHP than competitors. You can throw alot of money at a car smack a big turbo and yes it will be good down the straights.

Dont get me wrong, i owned a 220 bhp ibiza cupra, took it to pod ran 14.4 which is pretty respectable. but its just boring, limp mode all the time, and if handling is understeer, then it handles well to

Ali · Oct 3, 2008

Meh! Don't really like them! Only fast when mod'd! Sts for std it's not great.

dalla · Oct 3, 2008

That is nice, i love these aswell.

Bought another 172/182 killer ;)
