Indeed it is very tempting, Im probably doing it myself.
Just be weary of what people say about doing it, people do it for different reasons and are in completely different situations.
And at the end of the day, people only shed their OPINIONS, doesn't mean they are right or wrong.

As said before its personal choice. £2k cup + £4k sc kit, = very fast car.
Not specific to the ktec kit, but worth a read to get other peoples opinions. Your decision and your money at the end of the day though:

Totally see where you are coming from, but the Cup owes me nothing (in my head!) I want three years out of it at Combe, the basics are already done (brakes, bushes etc...) it'll still be worth what 2k then? so 2k for three years of WTF motoring, not too bad.
P.S. I am my own accounting legend!! ha ha!

only way you'll really know if you want it is to drive it, and once you drive it, you WILL want it.

We will have a 172 Supercharged demo car available at the end of the month so you can try before you buy!

If the kits are DIY, how much is it for you guys to fit? Please take into consideration you do all my servicing etc... oh and I had an exhaust a top mounts on the Cup in the last 2 months!
Fitting prices are yet to be 100% confirmed but you would be looking in the region of £500 for fitting including the dyno set up and custom map.

All in? As in with VAT? Drive in, get the Fiesta! (FTL!) and drive home?

Yes that should be including VAT but the use of the Fiesta may incur a premium :rasp:

A decent cup for 2k? Id love to find one of those... 3.5k -to- 4k+ for a decent one from the ones ive seen and looked at. So 4k + 4k + fitting, 8.5k?
He may drive it and 'want' it, but if he went and drove a really fast car (i.e. not a S/C cup) for around 8.5k he would most probably want that too. Plus I can think of alot of cars that can be modified to a value of 8.5k (acctually less too) and be a silly amount quicker than a S/C cup...
All IMO of course.
Get ya point there but, my Cup was £1800 9 months ago with more of a smoking problem than I have!, new bottom end etc, done. Driven it the last 8 months (£150 month on another motor, maybe) owes me nothing. Still be worth £2k when I sell it. Simples
Cars that are somewhat different are better I think and my mates M3 doesn't half make him smug right now! But that cost him £13k!

To some this is the whole point of modifying, not to necessarily do what is logical but to do something unique and fun.
As we have found from the turbo conversions we have done, a well installed, reliable kit will add value to the car. Go and buy any other car for £8.5k and I can guarantee its value will only go down. After a couple of years worth of depreciation on your £8.5k car against the value of your £8.5k supercharged Clio (which has obvioulsy been well looked after) I think you will find there will not be much in it.
Just food for thought and at the end of the day its the car owners decision should he/she want to spend the money.
David.
You got a good deal on the cup then! But the majority dont and pay the average prices...thats more the point im referring to, not yourself directly

True david. But a sc cup will have a much narrower market than an average 8.5k car. I agree on the uniqueness in a way, so I assume you're only doing 1?
If you fancy it fella, drive the demo, go from there. Your money at the end of the day!

We hope to do several unique ones

No different to a 172, just the Mk1 subframe would be in the way. Nothing a custom bracket couldnt sort with ease TBH.

We'd certainly like to have a look to see what room there is to work with.

It'll be a bit snug in a Twingo
Have you got it running yet? :dapprove:

mk1 is something i've been looking at for months, brackets would need to be different, but it's definitely workable
