depends on the trim the lx an sport 88bhp manage 0-60 in 10.6 the style an studios are 12.2 so go figure depends on the talent you've spent to long taking notes in road drving stories tbfh

Jason_E · Nov 11, 2009

Umm i think it was a style or studio. Could be an LX though! Had a sony cd player, but that was about it LOL. It's a 56 plate iirc.

If he gets an RS Tuning remap it may be time to start worrying. They get around 120bhp and 250nm out of the 88bhp 1.6 tdci iirc.

The GT's have a seriously nice interior. Do they rev all the way around to 7250rpm?

Toby you have cruise control nice! Time to get a CS membership though!

Yeah cruise control and speed limiter as standard, even has corndering lights. Got all sorts on it.

They rev to just short of 7k, although im not sure what the limit is, peak power is at 6750rpm.

Im skint tbh

Jason_E · Nov 12, 2009

Aye, the guy who owns this focus has it because his dad owns a rental firm, and its not used by the company anymore so he gave him it. Its actually the LX. But tbh we did a test on the dual carriage way 50-70 and he wasn't that much quicker. But you can tell its a diesel with the s**t it spews out of the exhaust!

What gear where you both in?

I'd probably get beat 50-70 in top gear by it. Under about 4.5-5K a relitavely low capasity petrol engine isn't much use.

Cliotoby · Nov 13, 2009

On a high note, my mpg went up today, im now getting 22.4mpg.

Jason_E · Nov 13, 2009

FLOL! I'm getting 30.4mpg.

I had a scare on the way home! Was doing about 70 potatoes and in a turning i see a white car. Then as i go passed i look in the mirror this thing has bombed it out. Thought it was the police so slowed down VERY fast to 60 asparagus. Turns out it was a bloody Megane R.26.R!!! How i didn't spot the bonnet lol.

theduck · Nov 13, 2009

Speeding already

Jason_E · Nov 13, 2009

By 10 nuggets

Not sure why i was, i think i was just following the van in front and didnt look at the speedo. I got lucky, and instead of the 5-0 it was a lush Megane.

Stevenc89 · Nov 13, 2009

like the style of the new clio GT and with an induction kit they sound amazing! somone I know of has one,

Jason_E · Nov 13, 2009

Sounds like it has an induction kit standard! Everyone compliments the thing. I love it to bits.

Could be enough for you to lose your license though. 6 points and your a gonna remember!

Jason_E · Nov 13, 2009

I know I know! I've had my scare now I know not to be a silly t**t. I never speed too

Even been complimented on my safe driving.

Tell me about it, the last 1000 rpm are a joy with the window down too, sounds insane lol.

e/

Lol at all these vegetable references.

Jason_E · Nov 13, 2009

Aye, I've only given it some stick a few times (Weather conditions are a bit s**t to be driving it fast like) but it sounds gooood.

Cliotoby · Nov 13, 2009

Ive noticed that when i stop in traffic, the car will make a noise when i move off again, its as though i have binding brakes and can hear the pads rubbing against the discs as i move off. Its happened all but 4 times now. Not sure whether or not to go in and get it sorted or to wait it out for a few more miles and see if it goes away.

Millsy · Nov 13, 2009

wouldn't mind that engine in my car lol.

wonder what how they made an extra 18bhp

Yep i get the same at times... dunno wot it is.

Blackstorm · Nov 13, 2009

Might be selling my GT as i've been offered a company car at work, along with a promotion.... ugh.... have to see what happens.........

Cliotoby · Nov 13, 2009

Glad im not the only one. I had the damage on the lip of my bonnet where the wipers are repaired today too. Not a good sign that your getting it too. How many miles are you on ?

Christ, never drive my car. 26 is about as good as it gets

Jason_E · Nov 15, 2009

With some cars, its just too nice to have a led foot.

I've scared myself now though, totally paranoid there's a member of the 5-0 round every corner. Which, tbh is a good thing. I now stick to the limits 100%.

Lol I managed to get my mpg down to 19 last night. It has gone up to 24 now tho I decided to take it easy. I love the sound it makes in the last 1000rpm.

Jason_E · Nov 15, 2009

HAHA a colleague from work who has a CTR was saying how like his it sounds in the top end of the rev band. LOVE IT.

VVT JUST KICKED IN y0

Brett · Nov 16, 2009

Does the GT have the same airbox as the Twingo RS? I know you can take a rubber bung in the airbox you remove and it makes them sound a lot better.

Cliotoby · Nov 16, 2009

Nope. Twingo Rs has a box a little like the 172. GT had a ghey airbox.

DU-Roller · Nov 16, 2009

^ AFAIK air intake and exhaust are the two major differences between Clio GT's engine and the one in Twingo RS which give the extra 5 hp in Twingo.

I'm glad to see that the GT has similar (or worse

)mpg values like the 200, it means I made the right choice

Well im hoping my Gt will look a little better when its wearing spacers and prolines thats the only thing wrong with it at the moment,

I think the ECu is different or its running a different map, the stroke is different and the intake is different. im not sure about the rest.

probecomp · Nov 16, 2009

My GT is doing 29 mpg, mostly city driving. Has 780 miles now.

I'm curious about the plastic box on the intake pipe (before the airbox) that sits horizontally above the battery - does anybody know what it's for? It can easily be removed (you just un-clip it). Doesn't seem to contain anything useful. However, should you remove it, it would leave the intake pipe with two open holes, which would potentially draw hot air from the engine.

Jason_E · Nov 16, 2009

I noticed that ^^^ It seemed useless to me! And there was a french spider living in it

LOL

well in my last 1.2, i had the MK3 engine in it, the air box was like a piece of hollow plastic much like this stupid box your talking about. God knows why its there.

Cliotoby · Nov 17, 2009

f**k it im going to put mine on coilovers lol it sits like a boat.

Jason_E · Nov 17, 2009

LOL GT's are on stilts.
