cams,forged rods pistons etc and boddies? bhp? what we talking here :S

[Daz Clio Cup]

Just to save me going back up the thread to find out, what bhp is your car running? I would be very surprised to see you blow away a 911 turbo if you had 250bhp let alone what you've got, and you have to take into the account that very few people that can afford 911 turbo's actually have the driving skill to drive one on the limit the same way you are your clio But yes your correct lightness is very important because if youve got a car with a 1000bhp that weighs 10 tons it's not gonna be quick. BHP per TONNE is a much better way to measure different cars when trying to work out which one is quicker.

read my post again. lol. i said upto 911 turbo. that means my car is as quick as the model before a 911 turbo! lol. playing with words! Nah it'll quite happily keep with a 911 carrera 4s on the road, bhp per ton is about the same. in the twisties that's a different matter! it's a cup after all..........lol

Daz did your fancy gearbox mount (that i was eyeing up at the TDF RR day) survive the trip home?

Lol! I thought you were dillusional for a second That is alot more believable, during the one month that i've owned my 182 i've only had a play with one porsche which was a cayman S and seriously I sat up it's arse all the way to 130, that's probably where those odd stone chips on my bumper came from

PMSL. it survived the trip home, however at some point after that it failed! lol.

We are now on ver 1.1. I'll try and find a pic.

can't find pic, but i had the reinforce the ring that held the bush as it ripped itself off the side rail! it didn't even break a weld! it broke the metal!

I properly loved the idea but I cant weld so cant fabricate a similar thing

leave that with me. WHEN i know it's reliable (after this year's track abuse) i get some made up, as i know an engineer who will copy my mount and mass produce it.

Well i'm planning on keeping my car for years so deffently let me know as i would quite like one if you do get some made up

Is a caymen really that slow? not dissing your 182 (standard i take it?) but for a £15k 182 to keep up with a £60+ porsche, the porsche driver, either a) needs to learn how to drive or b) take it back to the garage so someone who does know how to drive it can buy it. lol. good effort with the caymen. i remember pissing off boxer drivers when my cup was standard

 

[unfortunately_french]

It was a cayman S which shocked me even further, and my 182 is standard with the exception of a crap pipercross cone filter (probably loosing power) and an rs192 slightly blowing exhaust lol. Maybe it was my supreme driving skills + his s**tty ones but then again I heard him hit the limiter at one point so I know he was going for it. So is it your clio that's had 15k on it? Boxsters are utter s**t! My lupo gti actually beat plenty of boxters and kept up with boxster S's.

 

[Fred@BTM]

i did a 13.6. no diff. toyo t1-r's. 217bhp

how about 13.9sec on a standard engine with just a map, running cheap 95RON, and it still has a CAT!

i think we're the only people to manage 240bhp with VVT using stock valves

Not a fan of skylines, so big and unnecessary. Limo imo like most high power jap cars

and i would have still had to modify it to be as quick as the cup due to it's lardy ass

Yeah and I just love a hot hatch, your only young once so i'm making the most of it before i will be frowned upon for not driving a bigger car

I get told by my wife to grow up and get a more suitable car. I'm 36 and i told her i'm keeping the clio until i can afford a 911 turbo, lol

LOLLLLL! Actually did laugh out loud there, i'm 21 and when me and the boys have our car discussions i'm ridiculed for still driving hot hatches. Then again most of my friends are religious about jap cars and prefer coupes and saloons.

The only reason I bought a 182 was because my lupo gti got written off when some idiot smashed me in the rear of the car. I've got 6 points, 2 claims and i'm fully comp for £1700. Bargain
