clio is not a great rally car, a subaru or evo is a great rally car
The new WRC cars will either be 2lt NA or 1.6 turbo ,both with 4WD , should be good with a lot more manufacturers getting iinvolved , in its current state its getting boring with everybody chasing but not catching Citroen.
ibrench , whats wrong with a Clio ? any car can be made into a quick rally car , they are very good as a track car , my son was at castle coombe the other week in his 360hp EVO and struggled to pass a clio cup race car , they are a very quick car , I'm expecting to get some good results with it. as for saxo's fiesta's and 106's , they won't get a sniff , some Nova's will be hard to beat as they are getting stupid HP out of those , a mate of mine had a 1.4 nova with 204hp at 11k revs !!
As for the Impreza's , with more power the clio wouldn't be far off a clubman spec one , the WRC's would to too quick , but my car will be under £15k all finished , you can stick another nought on that figure for a WRC car ! as yes I do know as I have a clubman spec Impreza aswell
The clio

I was looking at AST's for my race car project. They are around £1500 what are you getting for your extra £1100 apart from some nice very very nice anodising and dangly bits that is
Ian, I want pics of your mates nova in action
Wouldnt be Russ's nova perchance? Was a 1.6 8v then went to 1.4 16v on 48's ?
Mad man
No Russ's car was a baby compared to Carl's
The dash was supplied by Renault sport , not sure if you can still buy them , I need to swap the 'pod' over to the right side , the dash is only made of plastic so whatever I cut out of the drivers side to fit the dash i'll have plastic welded into the hole in the passenger side and then get the dash flocked
The suspension is costing £2600 + vat , which for what your getting is a bargain , still hoping they haven't cocked up on the price as I was expecting double that from Reiger !
They sent me this email of a kit they made for another car to give me an idea of what i'll be getting
Cheers Ian
What are the ratios and final drive on the box now, and what will you swap to?
