looks like im being the sensible one and bringing this back on topic.

 

[dajones]

I would go for the Subaru really!
Oh guys, the 'scooby type r' is the 2 door version of the type RA :approve:

Can't help with the spelling though.

 

[ChrisPearson]

dis thred is sick

[Munson]

Step 1: Buy a 172Cup because they're well rapid.

Step 2: Get rinsed by a BMW diesel sales rep.

Step 3: Buy supercharger.

Step 4: Crash.

 

[DMS]

I had to LOL @ this thread. I take it all the mods are asleep?

 

[Gally]

Flolcopter at the Munson!

 

[carter172]

i didnt say the clio is slow did i, iam just getting bored of the power and would like to supercharge it. i was thinking to sell up and buy a faster car but i do like the clio. soo f**k it lets do this but after all this slaging off on here i aint going to bother asking four your help...

 

[The Boosh!]

The cheapest thing for you to do would be todrive round in a 1.0l corsa for a week. Your rs will feel like an f1 car afterwards.

 

[_WILL_]

Ignore everyone who is giving you s**t. If you want to do it then go for it... i haven't heard anyone who has done a turbo or supercharger saying they don't like it, plus it will be rapid.
I would imagine k-tec is your best bet. I saw one last weekend that I think was done at k-tec, it was spot on. The quality was great. The car was Ben_Stevo172's off here (http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=463149)

Like I said it was brilliant, although I think he is on his 2nd or 3rd box. So its worth thinking about the extra costs as well.

 

[liquid_force]

bens was done at rs tuning

 

[Wobba]

Go easy guys, bloke comes here with enthusiasm and cash and some of you s**t on him! this is a car forum, we are supposed to be mental cases about cars

STi3/4 Type R= Top car

More pricey to run though so consider that.

Supercharged 172 is a good option if you want something of a sleeper able to keep up with most high power expensive cars. if done right reliability won't be an issue. Speak to GDI I guess.

May be worth uprating a few other bits like brakes and suspension to go with it.

Sorry, i couldn't remember... well whoever did it, its very well done. Before I saw one in the metal I was sceptical about what the quality would be like, but now i've seen it im very impressed.

What did you steal?

I lol'd ;(

It's alot of money to spend on a car which you'll never get back. That coupled with 10mpg when you hoof it will lead to high running costs. You can go cheaper for less... Are you sure this is the right way to go?

lol why would you suggest that? If he's looking to get a supercharger why would he look into getting a bike!

And not all of use what to be organ donors!

Depending on the kit you get, you can just unbolt it and sell it on. So you wont loose everything. You quite often see ITBs on here, they dont stay for sale for long.

 

[DMS]

He may not even have a bike license lol.

 

[_WILL_]

Excuse my ignorence but surely u could just unbolt the supercharger kit, okay it's a bit more effort. As long as u kept the origional parts I can't seeing it being to much of a problem?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

^ Yes you can. But most people on here don't look into that much detail - they see it costs £4k+ and just focus (wrongly) on that.

 

[DMS]

While the parts can just be unbolted and the standard parts bolted back on, the mapping needs to be considered too.
I know that on my car there are way too many parts and way too much work gone into it to bother reverting it back to standard. It'd be easier to just sell this and buy another standard 172.
If you put a well looked after 1*2 up for sale on here with ITB's/Turbo/Supercharger fitted it'd probably get snapped up quickly anyway.

 

[KungFuSpaghetti]

Best advice I can give you is... ignore the plebs on this site and do what feels right for you. 99% of the advice will be from jealous types who wish they could do it themselves... bless

 

[Nick r26r]

i dont think it is jealousy , i just think people would rather spend 5k somewhere else , get some throttle bodies from m tech automotive , they are local in bristol and are cheap as chips , i got mine done there for £2100 all in with mappable ecu , jenvey bodies , mapped on there rollers and all fitted for that price , thats what i would do, then stick the 3k in a savings account and get some interest on it

Nice TV, holiday etc etc?

 

[KungFuSpaghetti]

Nice TV, holiday etc etc?

cant remember him asking "what TV should I buy for £4k?"

tbh

may as well lock this thread, it's clear the direction it's heading.

 

[Gaz_]

touchy, much?!

 

[KungFuSpaghetti]

Not in the slightest, it's sadly just a pointless question to ask in this place. It's a shame there's not actually any helpful people in this place able to answer, instead offering advice on "what they would do". If you had the money for a charger you may think differently... or not.

Ask yourself how your post in any way helped the poor guy decide where to take his hard earned... exactly, it didn't. Pointless post much?

 

[Gaz_]

Tbh, i'm just one of these jealous types who whish i could do it myself.

 

[Anonymous]

And not all of use what to be organ donors!

No feckers getting my organs anyway, but thanks for the concern lol

 

[Alex H]

Ignore everyone being shitty to you, if you want to supercharge your Clio you should do it imo.

This seems a pretty good deal from eBay - get this!

[carter172]

what i should of sed is i want to supercharge my clio but i only have £100.
i come on here four your help but nah this is one f**ked up forum.
to me it seems like all you want to do is **** meee off.
what it is you got 18 19 year olds on here with the same car as me that are jealous.
anyway cheers to the people that av said good things about this thread.

 

[Bazzon]

I dont think its that anyone is jealous.

I think its more the way your posts are constructed.

If your original post made sense and you came across as a decent lad who was serious about doing the conversion. You would have got a different response.

But you come across as a 17 year old who is a dreamer and can not construct a decent sentence.

As cursing the forum and forum user, thats not going to get you anywhere and peoples opinions will not change.

I know how you feel, I got the same response when I asked a serious question. Hopefully you got some good replies though

 

[DMS]

The majority of people don't post a serious response because they either don't see the point in it, think the money would be best spent elsewhere or are jealous.
I've been coming on here for over a year now and I've seen tonnes of supercharger / turbo threads, and they're always the same. There's been quite a lot of them recently now more tuning options are becoming available, so the silly responses are getting more and more frequent.
It's for these reasons that I didn't mention I was going to get my car turbo'd until it had actually been done. I've seen the stick everyone else gets so I thought it best to just make up my own mind what I wanted and let people comment on it afterwards.
If you want to do it, go ahead, you'll love it. Everyone who's had it done will tell you the same. Yes it's expensive, you won't ever see the money again and you'll always get the haters, but at the end of the day it's your money and your car. By far the biggest selling point is that it'll put a huge smile on your face every time you drive it, and your passengers will either grin like a Cheshire cat or s**t a brick. Trust me, I know.

there are some nobs on this site reckon you should go for the turbo it will be cheaper

Hmmmmm. Its not so much that. He asked for an opinion. Imo 5k on a near ten year old car is a waste and would be better off put to something else, ie something newer? Maybe its with age comes experience? Turbo'd clios i've seen on this forum are usually constantly broken, boost spikes do the car/gearbox no favours..... The supercharger kit seems better though i will say that.

 

[DMS]

Strange. My turbo'd Clio has never broke once.
In fact, I'd go as far as to say it's mechanically perfect. It's got a few cosmetic issues (stone chips, broken fog lamp etc) but mechanically there's not a single issue, and never has been.

It also gets driven with WOT all the time and yet it's not even that thirsty.
IMO it's all down to how they're driven, who builds them and who maps them.
K-Tec put mine together and Andy mapped it. It runs as sweet as a nut and makes good power already. It'll be having more boost tomorrow and I'm confident it'll stay reliable.
The gearbox can stand the amount of torque perfectly well. If the gearboxes are breaking it's because the muppet behind the wheel is f**king the changes up, not because the box can't take it.
