[Addicted]

A clio would beat it in the Twisties!

[Addicted]

That is mental! I don't even hear it change gear?

 

[Bluebeard]

Wow!!!

For once, i'm speechless.

 

[daveski]

Thats mental. What are your plans for the Clio?

 

[tom172cup]

Thats mental. What are your plans for the Clio?

Engine swap i recon :race:

 

[Will.]

HOLY s**t. That thing is mental!

 

[mallspeed]

il run the clio and see how thing go , there a good car for the money and so much fun , and if the engine lets go , il see what i can get in it lol

 

[Bluebeard]

Mallspeed, what are the seatbelt type straps on the side of the engine?

 

[tom172cup]

Is that not a safety device for the blower could be wrong though

 

[Goodj]

Now that is PROPER boost

 

[Winston]

WOW!!!:hail:

 

[Gaz.]

Mad Max-esque but on steroids. You sir are an utter mentalist, and for that I salute you.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Proper nutty car, really love it, but how come its only doing that sort of quarter?

What 60fts are you running?
I know a guy with a calibra running far less power than that which is running well into the 7s on road legal tyres so I would have thought with the power and weight you have it should be right down there too? or will it just not hook up?

 

[mallspeed]

They are FIA blower restraint straps you have to have them on , if the engine lets go its to stop it flying into the crowed

Mallspeed, what are the seatbelt type straps on the side of the engine?

 

[Bluebeard]

Ahh, makes sense.

Just looking at your other YT vids, what other toys have you got then??

Thats in full road spec with road tyres on , on slicks in race set up it would get into the 7s and its Plumbed for Nitrous and Methanol additional injection. Which give 500bhp on top , but iv not had the balls you use it yet lol

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yeah same with the calibra I mentioned, they even have to drive to tesco and fill up with normal petrol in his class.

its Plumbed for Nitrous and Methanol additional injection. Which give 500bhp on top , but iv not had the balls you use it yet lol

Lol, fair enough!

What 60fts do you get? I'm guessing at 1.3 or so?

 

[mallspeed]

yes street legal road modified class, its doing 1.33 60foot , it dont come out much now day , not got the time and it cost to much , so i just do some track days and have more fun lol

 

[Chri5]

Christ alive!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Still a cool thing to own just to use now and then though
But yes given the choice i'd sooner do a trackday in a 172 as well TBH

 

[mallspeed]

Ahh, makes sense.

this is my every day drivemk1 escort 4.0lt v8

this is my impreza type r , i blow the engine up at donington last time out lol , iv got a 2.1 to go in it but not had time to fit it yet

and a clio 172 now ,that im stripping down to do some track days in lol

 

[Chip-mk1]

What 4.0 is it? Rover v8?
Or something a bit more exotic like a 1UZFE?

 

[mallspeed]

no its a rover v8 , the 1uzfe is a good cheep engine to , when i blow up the rover engine im going to put 1 in ,

 

[Chip-mk1]

Good plan, just a pain they dont fit straight onto any manual box

 

[mallspeed]

my m8 has made a convertion kit to put i in his radical onto a renault gearbox so i think it could be dun

 

[Chip-mk1]

Oh there are lots of adaptors available for tremec or supra box etc, just all involves spending money which stops them being the cheap power plant they otherwise would be.

Awesome engines though, can rev like hell once you change the exhuast manifolds and remap them.

 

[mallspeed]

if the rover v8 lets go il try and get 1 in it and il let you know how easy or hard it is

 

[Chip-mk1]

Guy I was chatting to over at the ring had an omega with 1000bhp of 1uzfe in it, he sells the adaptors, also available for the supra box from thor racing, but they do like a bit of profit, lol

 

[mallspeed]

il have to see how long this engine lasts b4 i think what im going to do lol i carnt afford to put lots of money into cars now day hehe mrs / kids and all that, thats why i got a clio to use , there a lot of car for the money so the mrs don't moan hehe

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yeah the 172 is about as good value as it gets for a trackday car

 

[Jamie_182]

wow that is one mental car pal.

looks like you have quite a collection to

would definatly not like to that mk1 V8 escort approaching me in my cars rear mirror haha

 

[JoeyD]

Jesus! Not what I expected clicking on this thread. That thing looks Seriously quick! Nice one.
