Giving it the beans?

[Greeny.]

Yozza system plus redline in each gear makes me smile

It makes me cream my pants when I was driving it down the road at 30 let alone up the rev range lol

I try not to, but I'm often pushing it to get to work as I only live 4 miles away or so and often leave it late, but the route I take out of the village is ideal territory for the car - twisty, small, windy, hilly back roads about a mile out of the village (60 limit), with very little traffic on, so I give it more than I should too often before it's fully warmed up - plus there's too often people trying to take it's scalp going that way.

I know I shouldn't and I should let it warm up more - but then it's a toy rather than a nessecity and it doesn't half make me smile.

I'm glad I'm not a passenger in your car.

I'm struggling with your below 5k comment.

Considering your Tdi probably has its rev limiter before 5k I can see why your struggling

Your comment makes no sense. They are designed to work below 5k. How do you get to 5k.

My wagon gets razzled every day and i lurve it

Cant wait to finish work to get in and drive home 4-5 miles of serious twisties

 

[CMR]

How does it make no sense, you drive a diesel currently no?

Most diesels i've driven have the limiter before 5k, where as the powerband in the cliosports actually starts at around 5k.

Hence why I said I can see why your struggling, your powerband is like what 2.5k to 4k?

WTF has my diesel got to do with anything? I mean your comment about Clio's not being designed to rev below 5k. Or do you mean nothing happens below 5k.

Anyone who drives all the time with their Clio revving above 5k is an c**k!

Just so you know, I owned a CS.

U my friend r a c**k for having such an opinion.

Keyboard warrior alert, chill out tbh.

I meant nothing happens before 5k, figure of speech.. they are pretty fooking boring before before 5k, admitedly not as gutless as an Ep3 but still pretty bad.

Can you not see the sarcasm in this thread mate? I don't think anyone drives above 5k all the time but why have a clio sport that the powerband IS above 5k if you dont go above it?, oh and nor does anyone "Put full lock on everytime turning out of a junction" (another post in this thread)

Yeah keyboard warrior, ok. Your comments are not clear. And yes, Clios are very gutless. I now get what you meant.

 

[nozza89]

i've got a 1.2 8v so even if i did give it the beans i would still be going just a tad faster than walking pace lol

 

[gaz44]

I'm no friend of you as clearly you think driving like a tw*t all the time is cool. I love seeing guys like you pulled over at the side of the road with Police having you.

Do you seriously drive like that all the time?

 

[CMR]

Well your post seemed quite aggressive plus you called quite a few people on here c***s indirectly..

Ah well.

I'm more chilled than you'll ever know. And there are plenty of c***s on here.

 

[CMR]

I agree.

 

[gaz44]

Just to be understood, giving it the beans is fine when the conditions are right. Everyone does that. Anyone that drives like this all the time, through busy traffic or in dodgy conditions that put other road users at risk are c***s. So clearly, if you give it the beans all the time, you are a c**k.

 

[luke2607]

Past 5k whenever its safe to do so.

The car doesn't move before then!

Maybe I should of said that gaz in my first post to be clearer.

All is understood.

My RS clios 172/182 used to live above 6k every single day without fail, 1st all the way through to 5th, now the mrs 138 mk3 gets used until i'm back in the fold next march. loving my Truck at the moment though!

[nathanH]

Pretty much all the time, within reason...

 

[Nick_P]

Theres a time and a place for "giving is some beans"


Luckily I live in the countryside where it tends to be a good time all the time ha

 

[Ben]

I have to give mine beans to get it to move.

 

[TomBear]

5.5k in 3rd going up the clee hill on the way to work

its funny overtaking people and watching the look on there face as they see a 1.2 go tearing past them at 70 up the steepest bank in shropshire


cant do it anymore as theres a 50 limit up said hill....................bugger!

 

[Gaz_]

On a daily basis mine will see the top end of the revs when up to temp.

this, the 197 lump loves it

 

[Chris J]

My 1.2 gets driven hard pretty much whenever possible, im sure everyone with likkle engines does the same, need to do it to keep up lol. Cant wait to get a faster car, getting seriously bored of 75bhp..

 

[Jordi17]

not often, depends what you class as giving it the beans, over 3k revs? 4k revs? upto 5?

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Pretty much most of the time, be useless having a performance car which revs to 7800 (after remap) if I didn't wouldn't it.

 

[eggy790]

Usually everyday tbh. So much fun, my route to work s quality as well s its so hard to resist the temptation.

lol +1

my route to work entails all dual carriagways/short motorways and 6 roundabouts in total that are either straight accross or third/ first exists..
