me and aldo from here got speaking to a lad one night who told us his 172 would do 170mph now that it has a milltek lol was commedy
Clio k4j - Clio 200T
maybe it was the legendary Turbo one...
LOL
I know someone who thinks he knows everything abouts cars, some of the things he's said has had me on the floor laughing,
apperently he had his 1.0 corsa to 110mph!
and so he says my Clio isn't as safe as his x reg corsa
best one though is he's gona buy a type r and spend about a grand on it then it'll do 180mph :banghead:

dannygt911 remember the time he said that clios aren't used for racing or when I said about the clios coming second and sixth in Rallycross Supercar A Final and he said they don't race in rally, then went on about a mate that races and says clios are rubbish (This mate that knows everything) after much arguing he said they came last and he watched it when clearly he didn't because I watched it the day before and he said it was last month. My final reply was "okay" defiantly a :banghead:
Haha yh, go careful what you say though, he knows people... :S

Stealth 438'd 182
the 1.0 corsa comment can be done tbf..my mate did something similar long run.. slight downhill..thing sounded like it was going to blow up mind and manifold blew the lambda probe out i do have pictures somewhere.. it died a horrible death not that many weeks after haha
i'm waiting for the electric superchargers and ebay sports switches to get a mention in here!
epic thread !
Were any of you at FCS?
the meguiars top 25 - RB 182 - the owner was saying with a map, filter, exhaust with decat he will be pushing around 210-220bhp. then the guy doing the presenting was like "yeah proper good cars these little clios it's easy to get them to 200bhp with just simple mods."
I actually lol'd.

Already had this type of convo with people or lads from work, i didnt mention it because of my reply would be rather huge and the amount of torment caused.
Ive also had people that have tried to tell me the following
- that lowering my car will make it go faster.
- If i put spirits in the petrol tank that it improves the ron level thus making the car faster.
- put a rolled up sock in the exhaust on a piece of string will help it to pass MOT exhaust test (full r****d)
- waxing windows on a daily basis is the new wiper
- upgrade to 18" rather than 16" and the car will be quicker....
- smaller profile tyres improve grip, as in 205/45 to 205/25...
- remoulded tyres are just as good as brand new ones...
- why dont you use slicks on the road, you'll get more grip.
- LED's improve weight performance
Really this list could go on and on...
182, SQ7, Trafic
These are both true.
18" wheels would give you a better top speed.
Fred used remoulds and I've seen a few other tests with remoulds and they are on par.
Mk1 16v brooklands
Smaller wheels quicker accel
bigger wheels better top speed
bigger wheels better top speed
ITB BG 182
18"s on a clio tho, srs?? would look chav an be slower at pull off?
Aint remoulds illegal?
A guy i know... a few other know of him on here and have prob heard these stories before (so im not making stories up) but has told us many of funny stories:
1. Fell off a motor bike at 150mph in just jeans and a t-shirt... funny not a mark on him and he cant ride a bike as he recently asked one of our mates to teach him
2. Apparently has a metal plate in his four head and a metal bollock... when i find a big enough magnet im gonna test this out
3. Apparently worked for Merc Benz, got pissed off after a month so drove his car threw the dealership... funny because it was never in the news...
He has so many more storys... but mate told me a good plan for ever time he talks bullsiht which is:
- Let him start for a few mins and play along
- Once he's half way into the story turn round and say "youve told me that story before" - This then shuts him up as he then wont carry on the story just incase he told it different before

Clio 182
The hero Corsa story is possibly true...
My first (and previous car to the 182) was a 51 plate 1.2 sxi; had an indicated 112 on the way back from Thorpe Park about 6 months after i got it. Me, 4 passengers and bags in the boot, slightly downhill on the M20, so perhaps more momentum than anything. that was in 2005 on 35ish thousand miles, traded it in April just gone with 98000 miles, never broke down once. Like I said HERO Corsa! Loved that thing...
On topic, I've never heard anything glaringly bad, a neighbour of mine had a 172 which he thought was supercharged from the factory. No.
Other than that, just glaring falsities; I'm sure most people on here have some strange ability to recall facts and figures about cars, like horsepower, engine size and type, 0-60s etc for performance cars. When someone gets it wrong, i have to correct them, I can't help it!

Evo 5 RS
I had an S14 owner ask me about my car and then tell me his is over 300bhp. It definitely wasn't...people just inflate everything.
What's it they say in American Pie about the rule of 3? lol

Could be if turbo'ed and matter on the turbo'ed upgrade... but would be rare!
One the basis of the 3 rule... if he was male it was only running 100bhp... if she was female drive it must have been 900bhp

It looked a shed and from friends having silvias I know they're not that easy to get to 300bhp. Plus it wasn't that fast...

I did not reply just put the window up and drove off smiling.

Clio 1.2 Mk2 Ph1
this thread is quality. Im taking mine to k-tec for a remap in a few weeks. My mate who works for NASA reckons ill get at least 150bhp from my 1.2 16v?
Wow... does he know about the new HD Leads (replacement for HT Leads)... apparently the quatiltys amazing and you can add up to 40bhp... that near as much bhp as adding a chav sticker to the back window
Clio 1.2 Mk2 Ph1
Im actually taking it there for a remap too lol! Im only expecting 10% gain after speaking to ktec at FCS.
Are HT leads those cables that go to your lights?

10% gain on a 1.2 16v, so your going to get up to 6-7bhp?!
What a waste of money!
Better gains then a map on a 1*2
Clio 1.2 Mk2 Ph1
My money to waste. I intend on keeping the car for a while so why not? I'm not a total fool I know that I'm better off with a more powerful car but I'm not bothered.
Clio 1.2 Mk2 Ph1
Oh and bhp is not the only thing that matters. I'm not about to gloat at my gains lol. I just want to piss of the 18 year old kids in corsas and fiestaa lol
