wow! i would of thought that the focus would of easily won, but i was suprised. just goes to show how quick the clios are off the line.

Nice vid and nice cup pal.

 

[The Boosh!]

Not suprising really.

Notice as soon as the focus gets in 3rd he pulls pretty easily.

In summary. If you are going to have a blast with one make sure its on the twisties

 

[liam172cup]

Cheers he was saying the problem was that his car doesnt come onto full boost till 4th gear or something like that... you cant half hear the hybrid screaming though! lol

Im quite new to all this so not that much clued up to what clios can perform against.

how are they to type r's?

 

[The Boosh!]

They're very evenly matched.

 

[Dave..]

"I cant believe liams had him"

"...nearly"

LOL

 

[liam172cup]

against a type R i find that i can pull ground on them till about 100 (on closed roads) after then they start to catch back up...

 

[liam172cup]

haha yeah the mrs got a bit over excited haha:S

 

[skatedemonuk]

Turbo lag made to give other cars hope

 

[liam172cup]

might as well have a go though lol knew what would happen from the start really

 

[rob_clio197rs]

poor time for 320bhp, my friends 320bhp focus gets low 13s, what mods has the clio got?

clio only has cat back system, k-tec panel filter and back seats out.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Very good mate, you will be pleased with that.

As they say though, turbo lag is fore play... lol

 

[Dicaniocup]

Has your mates focus been on the rollers? The reason i ask is that my friend has a mk1 RS @ 280bhp and once he hits 3rd and 4th i just wave and off he goes.

 

[liam172cup]

haha. it was ok like... was sort of wanting to hit a 14.9 that day but best i managed was 15.0

Cheers, think iv seen the same video, they're not that quick till 3rd really like.

 

[Jaff]

Iirc they limit the torque in 1st and 2nd, then in 3rd it gets full power. I think from a rolling start like on a sts/ carriage way the rs would pull away pretty convincingly.

 

[liam172cup]

yeah it does on the on the carriage way. it goes off the clock at top end.
