Fiesta vs Clio

Oh for goodness sake! I'd rather have a 1*2 than a Fiesta anyday, even if the vid shows the dustbin going 0.05 seconds quicker off the line.

yeh i read the posts wondering what the f**k everyone is flapping about. talk about a warm welcome eh?

anyway the 182 is a good step up from a fez. when you look at it its like most things check bodywork for signs of accident damage etc also most 182`s are due or nearly due cam/aux belts so make sure these have been done as its a good £400-£600 job so bear that in mind.

what colour is it?

Your not making the best impression yourself to be fair. But welcome anyway. Its the cliosport way. And you will get used to it. :approve:

Oh dear. At this stage, I'd be rather contrite, and even apologetic to the forum you have just joined. You haven't been either.

Good luck mate.

LOL just ignore them m8,

But no that is not a ClioSport could be a replicer or something. Any 1*2 would eat it alive tbh.

Oh btw.. Welcome to CS LOL!

P.s. Trade your car In and buy a 1*2 and join the CS club, you will soon feel at home and get the CS banta.

The reason i think this thread is full of gayness is because you are basing buying a car on some chavs sh*tty drag race.

ps welcome :cool:

Enough said to be honest.

An 1*2 beats a zetec S hands down in every department, no matter what engine it has got in it.
 
Hi Paget

I've driven a couple of FRP'd ZS's, and I can safely say there is no way they would 'have' a 182. I'd guess that the 0-60 is about 7.6 or so, possibly a shade quicker than the Fiesta ST. Most of the FRP engines don't make their 155PS, particularly now given that they are nearly 10 years old.

One 1/4 mile day I went to saw a few standard Fiesta ST's do it quicker than FRP'd ZS's, a 182 will nail the ST all day long.

The Clio in the video also looks like a 1.6 to me, not a 182 or 172.

In summary, the 182 will nail an FRP'd ZS...

I'm not biased either as I have a 197, and had a Mk5 ZS and a Mk6 ST.

It could have a 4.0 litre V8 in it, still wouldn't have one.

Cars are much more than engines, and I wouldn't buy a car just because of the engine. All IMO of course.

Ah, but you stated a Zetec S wouldn't beat a 172/182, no matter what engine it had.

I think it would safe to assume that an RS engined Zetec S would mince a 172/182 off the line, 1/4 mile, etc.

;)
 
Chassis would struggle to put the power down, but I think it's been done hasn't it?

I know Alan @ Pumabuild got a FRS into into his FRP, so presume it can be done...
 
This conversation is veering off into modified versus standard territory again, frankly its wasted conversation
 
in my opinion the build quality of a fez is much better,the gear change on the fez is better and they dont suffer with anywhere near as many faults as clios do.

clio wings are made of plastic for a start

BUT. i do think a clio sport of any kind would be more than a handfull for a fez to cope with as they really arnt very quick at all.
i had a 1.7 puma and around the track it was with a clio 172 up to 75-80 mph ish but after that the puma just didnt have the power of the clio.

its gotta be said that the clio sport interior and standard equipment is a lot nicer than the fez.

its swings and roundabouts in my opinion.

if i had the choice between a clio sport and a hot fez id go for the clio purely becuase the clio is a little more desirable.

bearing in mind im a massive ford fan and have 6 fiestas of all mk's in the past.

as for postin a vid of two dicks in cars racing on the street like they are in a film is a little daft.

if you want a good analysis, go find a vid of mentioned cars giving it all theyve got around a circuit.

Makes me laugh when people think of things like plastic wings as being bad for a car:rolleyes:. Its not a structural point so bears no relevance to build quality what so ever and they are lighter.
And those older Fiestas rust like I don't no what. They are hardly better built.
 
clio wing panel gaps are so big i dont need to open my bonnet to work on my broken clio

build quality is exactly what it is,quality

how many mercs,bmws etc etc are made with plastic panels?

Care?

Seriously though do you smear masscarae over plastic panels? If theres anyone on here that gives any less of a fvck about plastic panels than me theres a puppy in it for them.

If you dont like them then buy a fvcking bmw with a mercedes front end:sleepy:

None that I can think of, but they do all have HUGE PLASTIC bumpers that wrap round to form half the wing.
Panel gaps are a different issue and I'm sorry but Fords of that ilk are no better thats for sure.

I've owned a FRP zetec-s, graph figures showed it was producing 162bhp.

To be perfectly honest both the Cup's have had would have struggled to beat it. Perhaps because it was stripped and extremely low it felt quicker than it actually was but I reckon the cars would be dead even until you reached license losing speeds.

Are you sure they were the same size though.

Interestingly it was the 2.249 international circuit that was being used this weekend. This
coupled with typical British weather made Silverstone quite a challenge for the fiesta drivers,
because, most drivers were new to the International circuit as last season the national circuit
was used. With this in mind, it wasn’t surprising to see a few incidents over the weekend.

The Clio circuit was 5140m so if the fords was 2.249 miles that is about 3700m! I might be wrong but...

But a stripped out car is gonna be faster than a standard car, strip out the clio and you'll have a whole different situation. :D
 
I drove that a couple of times, sounded awesome with the Scorpion exhaust on it!

Not sure what happened to it in the end.
