Good work, glad the figures are working out...now quarter mile it! I want to know if youre gonna take my record.
It sounds like its gonna be quick though. Glad theres someone else in the superfast Clio club. I was chuckling at what you were saying about racing Scoobies etc...once youre packing 250bhp/ton and upwards, most Scoobies you meet on the roads will struggle to keep up and you do find yourself wondering if they are actually racing your or not LOL. In fact, due to the weight of Scoobies/Evos etc and their trans loss through four wheel drive, youre really into the next league of motors, TVRs etc that are genuine monsters - like the Griffith I pasted last week.
I have no doubt youll post a good 13 second time and if you can get the traction maybe a 12 at well over a ton. If that proves to be right, youre running 0-100 in roughly 11 seconds. Theres not much on the roads can live with that.
Looks wicked, are you going to French Car Show j3ned?
nice setup matt. and about the handling of these 4 wd drive cars people. me mate has a mitsi evo 6 and when he goes around tight bends with any power down @ all his back ends starts to kick out and finds it hard to get it back if it goes to far. ok in the wet its a different storey altogether but in the dry the rs clios will surprise a lot of people. surprised me when i done the same tight corner as him quite a lot faster than his car could do it.
Have had scoobs and ctrs on roundabouts meny a time. the clio sits looked tight to the corner and these big heavy 4x4 cars drift out wide @ any decent speed.

that car just makes me laugh, i love it, wish i had the skills to construst such a project!

awesome sleeper..could u list the mods and how much did it cost u to set it up like that...if you dont mind me asking
297bhp on the standard turbo with only a remap and uprated fuel pump? Seems very optimistic to me. Even the corrected fly figure of 285 seems a bit high with just a remap. Although the car engine only produced 275 on the day which i thinks about right. Theres quite a big gap between measured and corrected. Mines was only in the region of 2bhp.
Its the power @ wheels figures which matter and if you had a true 285bhp, youd have more than 229 @ wheels. I have 273 and 240 @ wheels and another has 286 with 255 @ wheels. Both measured on more than 1 RR.

awesome ! gotta see this in action. obviously its a sleeper and i think thats so cool but some people at meets wont get it ? surley any mild tuned car could in theory run 100 shot NOS and for 10seconds at least down a strip get simular performance after all isnt the first few secs lost due to wheel spin ?
is it elvington on the 27th ? where abouts in york is the strip.

Not elvington airstrip but very near m8. York dragway is only around the corner...
Also if you used 100shot most of the way down the strip youll run out in no time i would think...it would till need to weight next to nothing and have about 200bhp to start with to get the same performance.

Its faster than your car will ever be, deal with it.
I was there watching it being mapped and everything, and it is all true, the stealth guys even said that cupra owners were boring ;-)

Question: Do you get though many sets of front tyres?

j3ned - I pissed my sides at the pics of your Clio! Bang on m8!
I thought you would have gone OTT and put wings, spoliers, bodykits, etc on the thing, but it just looks so normal for the most part.
Brilliant - keep it like it is. It must be great to be alongside what would normally be superior cars, only for them to get absolutely destroyed in the process by your car.
A work of genius methinks!

Melbourne sound familiar m8...If you are going we can all meet up with ya no probs
Chris
Fast and quick no doubt. Everyday car, no thanks!!!!
Jesus, you own a sh*t heap so you change the record pal. Stop being tight fisted and buy a decent car
LCRs/S3s and TTs all map to around 270, but stick it in a clio and outcomes 297?
For instance, a remap, £1000 full miltek exhaust system, and a large front mount IC only produces 286-290 on the LCRs/S3/TTs.
Im just struggling to believe the little clio was capable of 297 from the same engine and turbo with just a remap.

And what makes you think that the rr yours was on was sooo accurate? Stealth Racing seems to know exatly what they are doing with this.....Im sure you always say you dont believe owt till you have proof and the pic at the top is proof! Is it 270 with std exhaust?
Chris
Yes the 1.8T engines normally produce 265/270 with standard exhaust. Spend £1000 on a full miltek and that will push it upto around 285.
Its the power @ wheels figures which dont really add up to the estimated flywheel figures.
Flywheel figures are a rolling road lottery. The operator guesses the Tx loss to bump up the flywheel figure.
The car made 229 @ the wheels which is very good but thats all that should be taken from it. 229 @ wheels.
It may be the little clio has more TX loss than the likes of the LCRs etc.
Im not taking anything away from the clio as it will be a rapid car, i just think 285 from just a remap is a tad high.
