New member after a Clio turbo

[Mattv180]

Firstly hi to all new to this Clio/Renault game been reading up a lot about Clio 172/182's and I like the sound of them hence why I'm here value for money I don't think you can beat them at the minute.
I'm currently after the right Clio I'm pretty fussy and OCD and it has to be turbo'ed I don't mind paying good money for the right car so if you guys know anyone thinking of selling up let me know also trying to find one with below 60k and if there's any useful info to share on the subject of turbo clios with things to watch out for and the right set ups please let me know

Regards

Matt

Welcome

@Christ Almighty is selling a nice clean example of boost I believe

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah Toms looks minty mint

 

[Typhoon]

Welcome to the club mate.

Definitely get in contact with @Christ Almighty if you're looking for a nice clean boosted Clio!

 

[JackD]

There might be cheaper turbo clios out there but they won't work out cheaper in the long run. Christ Almightys is a cracking car and worth the money!

Welcome to the club. Why do you want a turbo 1*2?. Maybe you should try a standard one first to feel why they got the reputation they have. Adding a turbo alters the characteristics dramatically.
If you really want a turbo one then as said @Christ Almighty has a well sorted high boost one for sale. Low miles isn't more important than good history either.

Mine has full history and not bad mileage, its just turned over 83k.

The car has a few niggles which im currently sorting, but if someone wants it as it is they can, but i just like people to know, although they are only small niggles.

The passenger window doesnt work, ive tried a different regulator to no avail, so i have ordered new switches which are yet to arrive.

The aircon pipe near the radiator as you look in the bay is disconnected, this has been like this since the turbo build, for some reason clioturbo didnt re connect it, so it will also need re gassing.

I think i have a wheen bearing on the way out, put im planning on new discs and pads all round anyway.

Apart from this the car is mint!

Hi everyone thanks for messaging
Yes I see toms infact I messaged him inquiring about it the day I joined,nice nice car but like I say I'm after one with a tad less miles no offence to tom and I don't wanna waste his time.like I say I don't mind paying good money for the right car,in terms of reliability turbocharged are they good on standard internals and what hp do they usually make?

 

[Typhoon]

Don't worry mate, I'm not on commission but with these cars history is a lot more important than mileage. Just something to think about in your search!

Have you changed your username?

 

[bloke]

230/230 low boost on stock internals.

 

[Mattv180]

No same user name Christ almighty,why have I came up as something different?? I want good history like you said and low miles,I'm being fussy now aren't I lol

 

[Clio_fool]

Low boost conversions on standard internals are usually around 230bhp, I'm not sure on the torque. This seems to be a recognised safe figure and plenty of power in a mk2. Maybe you should look for a good low miles car and just have engine dynamics boost it. Their turnaround is quick and I don't think I've heard a bad word about them.

I was thinking that tbh. maybe the way forward or maybe a decent n/a modded one looking to be turbo'd,thanks I shall have a look at engine dynamics

Sorry mate my mistake x

 

[bloke]

Why do you want low mileage out of interest? How low are we talking?
83k was fairly low last time I checked!

This.

83k is low mileage for a 10-15 year old Clio

I'm 100% with you guys for a 10-15 year old car that is low millage,I've got to the point in my life now where I've got some money to spend I've always wanted a Clio sport I fancy doing some track days and a trip to the ring and I'm after a lower mileage car oh and I'm having a mid life crisis too lol

[leeds_182]

My advice would be to steer clear of them unless you like repairing them. I'm sure they're good ones out there but I think the majority have had issues and turn into money pits.

That doesn't matter. He'll have one that's 'low mileage'.

What's up with you I'm only saying what I'm after

Yes but this is a forum of car enthusiasts like me who know that when looking at cars 10-15 years old there are many other factors than mileage that are important.

My 172 was on 123k when I sold it and was in better condition than most others at that price, regardless of mileage.
