Im looking at selling my Audi TT225 and going for a Clio Cup - simply down to a recent house purchase where I need to free up some cash. Having now driven the Clio I like it... obviously it was not as quick as my TT although handling was on a par - so what mods can be done to improve the performance of these cars? Cheers...

oops.... too late mailto:B@llsie">B@llsie is tripped up mid flight, lands in front of my speeding Cup, which is so fast he doesnt have time to react. SPLATT!!!
He is comforted by the 225 owner - who arrives a couple of minutes later, and promptly offers him a free consolation haircut to ease the pain.

Not as quick!!!!! You can drop that mis-informed attitude right now
A standard TT225 is marginally quicker than a Cup in a straight line - FACT. Thats not a mis-informed attitude - Ive raced a couple of Cups when my TT was a standard 225bhp and there was little in it, but the TT WAS quicker. Above 120mph the TT left the Clio. When Ive seen comparative track times, the TT always come out on top. My current TT has 270bhp and pulls away quite easily from Cups, 172s etc. I raced a Clio V6 on the M11 a few weeks ago and he could only stay with me.
The Cup struck me as a loveley car and thanks for the imput on mods - Ill look thorugh the Forum to get an idea of what I can do with one.
Ill ignore the childish banter about whos quicker than who as Ive already answered that one with the Clios that have tried to race my TT
Nippy white cup
Erm....I could stick with my m8s V6 very well with just a filter. I agree that the 225 is no slouch but standard it wouldnt be much faster ( unless you mod it but thats cheating lol)
Cool it Winston - only being jocular.
Sounds like a very good car with 270 BHP !!
I had a few shindigs with 225s and maybe it was the driver, maybe it was the moonlight, but I won.
I didn;t venture over the ton though as I believe that is being juvenile.
In terms of mods for the Cup - 14.1 is the best on here with only approx £700 spent on the car.
(About as quick as your 270 ponied TutTut)Had a couple of runs on the rolling road - last one a month back.
Err love to do that but Ive been offered £24k for the TT ... youre a liveley lot! - thanx for the input - pretty much decided on a Cup, so look foward to joining the club... cheers, no more jokes about hairdressing either please! LOL!

Naaa Itll be quicker than mine. Mine (going of my terminal speed) must be mid to high 14s 0-100. Would be interesting rolling start tho. If you were to get past the 0-60 speed, the rest might be quite close. Over 100/120 and it would be bye bye me!Quote: Originally posted by CUP80Y on 17 March 2004
