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?
Fiesta ST-3
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:
its not my fault there are loads of incapable people on here who cant even read the fooking thread is it
RS 172+
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.

im looking at buying a clio because i thought they were faster?

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

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.

No one paused the vid yet as they set off? The clio has a none RS front and rear bumper and has black wing mirrors as well as no side skirts.
.
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.
Even if it had an RS Focus lump in it?

It could have a 4.0 litre V8 in it, still wouldn't have one.Even if it had an RS Focus lump in it?
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.

This conversation is veering off into modified versus standard territory again, frankly its wasted conversation
Very broken 172 cup
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.
'awaits the,that circuits more suited to clio's comments!'

Makes me laugh when people think of things like plastic wings as being bad for a car
. 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.
Very broken 172 cup
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.

???????:S
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...
Yeah! that was me, they ended up buying it back off me when the bottom end failed.
Do you know what happened to that car? Last time I saw it, they'd fitted a new engine and stuck it on Ebay
Very broken 172 cup
yeah its a bit hard to find a perfect comparrasen if thats how you spell it!
it was just food for thought. would be good to see a little grudge match out on track.
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.

The Cup I have now has the rear stripped out baring the spare wheel and still I wouldn't like to say if it would beat that FRP Zetec-S.

this is it.there are sooo many sinario's.
Yeah it did, towards the end it use to pop really loud aswell, sounded great.
I do miss that car but I had endless problems with it.

No competition tbh, the Clio covers 0.9 mile extra in 16secs. To me that means the Clio is considerably quicker, end of.
