It looks a quick car but is wishy washy in the corners, slack as a lady of the nights chuff at the rear which I like
.I was just wondering if they were running "r" tyres back then.

Im convinced that many people on here debating about a couple of bhp increase here and there should sell their clios and buy a wrx... Of course its your own choice to spend money on your car to chase power but if you dont like a stock(ish) clio you probably wont love a highly modified one - especially when you start to regret all money you spent...
just my 2 cents
ps if your clio is a dedicated track car and you are a rich b*****d then obviously this doesnt apply
I think the reason people spend so much money on there clio isn't because they dislike it, its because they love it so much, and a few tuning mods like cams and a map and you'd give a Scooby a hell of a good run for its money, mine beats a standard wrx. And you get more of a kick, beating fast cars in your clio, than just having a known fast car to start with. But as you said, its down to personal taste

I have a hunch Yoz always ran on Pilot Cup Sports. Years ago now though, I was using ACB10's on mine!
Maybe just the video not showing how much he's pushing then as them tyres are the poodles in the dry.

Never really timed it due to not wanting to push it too hard, passengers on every session and then the alternator packing in. Forgot as well, you'll have a diff and I wont so that'll give me and boost even more satisfaction beating n/a. lol
You certianly need a diff more than he does as you actually have some torque.
How come you havent got one? Or it is just a case of not getting round to it yet?
I think I would sooner have low boost and a diff than high boost without, lol
172 cup, Impreza P1
Not made my mind up on boxes yet TBH and also current funds with a new baby has put it to the back burner. A diff is on the cards but will probably go O2M with a quaife and get the scoff treatment done DIY of course.
believe it or not the Yoz video of it bombing round spa was on Toyo T1R's (or maybe T1-S') 205/50 15's i rebuilt the gearbox the night before, have a read of how i got it home LOL! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?260979-A-day-in-the-life-of-a-JC5&highlight=JC5+life
^ I remember that.
Evidently when you have talent you dont need grip.
Sadly I need lots of grip
Lol
LOL
Love the pink mk1, is that an ex fish car?

Pics or it didn't happen
Pictures were rare in those days, not like now where you can have them online 5mins after taking them.
Most the time we just didn't bother, as it was too much hassle getting them from the photographer.
yup, i miss that thing! oh and the Yoz car didn't have a diff either
bright coloured mk1's are what all the cool kids drive IIRC
Sadly you've not driven yours yet eh?

Incorrect actually, I drove it about 10 miles that day you and emma popped round to borrow some bits (jump leads or something?) when I first started knocking up a basemap to get the williams engine to run on the autronic.
It was the last day before the old MOT ran out so I needed to at least get the emissions close ish for a new one.
Ah yeh forgot about that.
Evo 5 RS
That explains the high pitch squealing then.
Thought your alternator might have brought the end of play before a lap. Another case of turbo unreliability (jokes btw)
I was the same until 2 years ago, no time for cameras.
Millington BDA engine (they use GT cams BTW
I'll have 2 lol. That's crazy cheap though, it must be original ford castings that are selling for stupid money.

The alternator and ps pump were the only things used from the n/a engine and they let the turbo lump down!
