love them vids martin, seen all them befoer... bloody fast lol... cant beat beating cars that your just not meant to lol
^^ 119 ft lbs is not all that . It's a Ford so maybe then it's good ? I think a standard RS is supposed to make 150+lbs ft or so..
well raced a wrx the other day and destroyed it, raced my uncle in his pro-drive sti running 305 bhp beat him off the mark and to about 125mph but thats when his turbo pulled on but still not beat is by a big margin!! if you put a clio against an sti on twisty roads i'd dare say the clio would win
I've driven a TB'd Clio and a Pro-Drive Scoob. 260 bhp I think they are. The Clio def felt quicker and much more exciting.
Mind you, I often see people who have spent thousands on tb conversions selling up soon after. This is probably more down to the expense of running the thing rather than dissatisfaction with its performance.
iv just got my clio back from gdi and now its running 235bhp

Spend what it costs to do a tb conversion on an impreza and you have a winner.
Everyone thinks tb's are a million leagues ahead of a std 172 in regards to power. The type of power that's going to snap your neck back. It's a load of bulls**t.
Tb's improve acceleration/power but not massively.
IMO it's a waste of money and I know this because I wasted around £6k doing it to my old 172. If only I knew now!
Evos are Heavy Things and Drive you with all that Tecno Stuff! Any body can drive one! My old Ra used to smash Fq Evos and had no ABS or any gay stuff and Rwd a drivers car! This is what I love about the 172 cup! No Abs a raw Drivers car its all about the driver! But the Evo is one Cool looking car! But when I had a go of my m8's Fq320 it was like finding there was no father christmas as a kid Lol!

whats MPG with bodies?
bad lol
I want some ITB's on my 172.
you're close to K-tec, go have a look at Bex car. Sure Andy will take you for a ride
That is my old car and seriously it's not that quick... 250bhp or whatever it's supposed to be is a pile of b****cks.
I don't f**king care what anyone says but the car is not as quick as you think...
If I had spent £6k on a p1 you would not see a scoob in that video because it would be so far ahead.
A lot of ppl on here will tell you to go for the tb's as they all bum clio's.
but it was on diff ecu and bodies by then mate.
hmmm. i know both the cars in that vid. the scoob being on a par with my williams when it was cammed n chipped. so its not shy, and faired a hell of a lot better than a lot of the scoobs i played with. my mates ra spec 1 for e.g. round here, n these roads he couldnt get anywhere near, when i added the bodies, was a waste of juice for me then to let him try keep up.
the 172 was quite a bit quicker than my williams was on the bodies. altho to be fair i hadnt had it mapped.
martins was quick, but it took a while to get it there. i raced it when it was 1st done, there want much in it. and when craig had it. this was just with the cams/map tho.

No Clio on in the world would have had my Type-Ra in a race straight Line or Twisty road end of stop Dreaming! Show me a Clio that can Do 0-60 in 4 Sec’s or around 4secs then it might have a chance! I now own a 172 cup yes its good and cheap to run but defo is not a Scooby killer and never will be! Not even with a turbo / nitrous / Tb's No No No! :nono:
I've noticed there ain't much room with that bloody pipe

yours is REALLY short to get in behind the pipe!! be interesting to do a back to back compare at a RR day on independent rollers.
the spec of the carat the time was 260 cams n remapped ecu with de cat n cat back. it was timed 0-60 at mid 5s. so ur right its not a 4 sec to 60 car . it does, however, not have the massively undergeared 4wd drivetrain of the ra.
altho tbf. the centre diff on my mates did start to play up, summat to do with the adjuster in the car.
