172 ph1
ROFL^^^ this. Power to weight is the key
If you must spend money, spend it on handling. A good 1.2 will keep pace with a 1*2 on a twisty track.
172
would of loved for you 2 of gone up against 1 of the lads ibiza cupra dervs.. mapped 2 about 200bhp n shed loads of torque... another 1 of the lads TROPHY couldnt keep up on the straights no doubt would of been different on the bk lane blast. i think your abit of a dreamer tbh
i had a 1.2 as my 1st car n best thing to do is just spend the money on handling cos mine was standard apart from been lowerd nd when things got twisty i used 2 piss on quite a few higher powerd cars

Audi RS3, Clio 172
Put a 3" jap exhaust on and some halfords go faster strips. I seen some kid with them on and he reckons hes gains 10bhp
Na but really pointless doing engine mods to a 1.2 just go low and slow. Cause really whats the point in spending £ on engine mods for a 1.4 micra stroll past you?

PMSL you say your mate in a Bora drives like a nutter yet you have him.... Hope I never encounter you on the roads tbf.
Evo 5 RS
well it is an 8v so at least it'll sound throaty with an open cone... Yeah that's about all you're gonna get really lol. Dunno if this is a wind up or not but - the facts are it's a single cam 1200cc oil burner. It's never going to be remotely fast
Fancy going up against my 1.4 RT ?

182, 6r GTi
sure allot of you wont agree but my mk2 ph2 1.2 16v clio could beat 1.6s 1.4 etc 1.6 is about as good as it gets but that was with a remap k-tec exhaust de-cat and induction kit + striped soooo to make it easy for you thers no point just, get a faster car in the first place.
MK7 Fiesta TDCI ZS

But if you did the same lap in a 1*2 straight after then your time would or should be a lot better than the 1.2 time. It's more a vid of your talent V's someone with less talent and more power.

197/200's are slow too. It's a pile of crap. But fun to drive round bends.

FLOL, how are they slow compared to the average derve etc. A 1.2 is slow and 1*2', 200's etc are quite quick unless your used to driving TVR's etc. f**k me some people have some strange opinions on here...
.Fancy going up against my 1.4 RT ?
see you soon then lol :rasp:
Why???? A 1.2 with a good suspension set up, ARB and completely stripped.
My point was that it will handle just as well as a 1*2 but without the straight line speed.
This has been said many times on this forum before.

It might handle just as well. BUT it will always be a test of driver talent... As I said above put the same person on the same day in the 1*2 and the 1.2 WOULDN'T get close to the lap time.

Can we have that in English please?
But the point I was making was really that they can handle just as well as a 1*2.
I know it's kind of irrelevant but I bet a 1.2 with coilies and decent rubber would out corner a 1*2 on standard suspension. That's why I said it in the first place, I was just trying to support my case for him going down the handling route instead of power
corse i love max power. im a big time believer in adding speakers and boot builds with alloys that are bigger than the car to my already under powered car ..... IDIOT.
FYI im bein sarcastic
thanks for your input i think thats the best way to go.But the point I was making was really that they can handle just as well as a 1*2.
