ONE THING DID MAKE ME LOL WAS WHEN WE WAS PASSED EACH OTHER IN MCDONALDS SOME KID IN A ROVER 214 BEHIND HIM HAD THE CHEEK TO SAY I BET HE WISHED HE HAD A K-TEC CLIO. SO I HAD TO LET THE DUMP VALVE OPEN ON MINE. TO HIS SHOCK IF FACE DROPED:rasp: . SO WHEN WE DID HAVE IT OUT IT WAS QUICKER THEN MINE BUT NOT A LOT IN IT AND ROUND THE ROUNDABOUTS IT LOOKED LIKE THE HANDLIN WAS CRAP I WAS RITE ON HIM . I THINK BB 172 TURBO WOULD WOOP THE ASS OF K-TECS:quiet:

It would be good to see a comparision between the two companies turbo conversion. I've heard the BB kit has a crap manifold on it? How is thr K-tec one?

Looks like a Lancer evo in that pic. What are those wing mirrors about?

 

[tommyboy]

the k-tec clio looks horrid. That bonnet is a no no! but eating a scooby gets it off the hook in my opinion!

its a demo car, so i spose they would have to advertise their products somehow, better on the car itslef than browsing t'internet

True

 

[CUP TURBO]

It's an impressively quick demo car at that, had the chance to drive it, ended up buying a cup and turbo'd that.
Wanted a relatively light motor with plenty of BHP to give it a good power to weight ratio. After owning a R5 turbo for a couple of years and fancied something more modern but with that kick and grin you get from owning a turbo'd motor, this ended up being the solution for me, with keeping it standard it's a street sleeper and shocks the hell out of some people. Not everyones bag but hey it makes me grin every time i squeeze the throtle and the boost kicks in.
Not running as much boost as the k-tec motor but for an every day drive it's quick enough, thats for sure.

 

[Cue]

for a company putting it's excellance to show, it looks shockingly poor. chav mobile looks, it's a good job it ate the scooby, at least it goes well.
