Sorry accidentally posted twice
What other cars do you have or will this be your daily?
All 3 are nice but different, just depends what you want for the car - if you want a stripped out track car or well sorted car you can use for the whole family
Shame about the 5, bit of an odd excuse but at least you're not out of pocket. Are there any blown clios near you you can have a test of? They are very different to a na one.
Just seems a lot of people who boost them sell up not long after. They will be noticeably quicker, but I think it's the difference in power delivery that probability puts people off. Don't think there's any reliability issues other than clioturbo but cars.
You actually have torque from 3500rpm instead of having to wring the neck off the stock f4r lol.
Yeah that. Have you owned a turbo hot hatch? If not I'd go test drive a few, meg or vxr anything from the last 10 years or so. The way they build speed is nothing like a na 182 so if you like the 182 a blown one may not be as appealing as you imagine.
Yes, it's much quicker! A mapped Clio, a bodied Clio, even a bodied & cams Clio ain't keeping up.Basically is it much faster than your usall mapped 172 etc lol. And on track would you recommend a oil cooler if I were to use it on the odd track day

The torque is the killer.
Oil cooler is needed for track days.
I'd agree with that if it was 2016/7, doesn't seem to happen now that Clioturbo have gone.
I'd agree with that, I nearly bought a turbo when I went for bodies, but decided I didn't like it. Went bodies, did a year with them and then removed them and went boost.
Oil cooler is £150 + fitting which is just an oil change with perhaps bumper off to locate it.
Boost is quicker than bodies, but bodies have that drama and hammer sound that can't be replicated.
Ah OK, what I meant was if you liked the clio because of the 5k kick, and the build of power at high revs and sharp throttle response it will lose some of those traits once boosted. Yes it will be much faster, but it won't drive the same. If its the handling that you like most about the clio then a boosted one should be the same but faster.Yeah had a 270bhp Astra vxr starlet gt turbo fiesta st new shape lol. So a have had boosted cars. Do they build up speed quickly or slowly? Just struggling to understand how u mean by the way it builds boost compares to other boosted cars mate that’s all lol.
