a short drive by clip of Nick Reads Clio 16v Turbo

 

[Craggy]

what a noise eh, and no he wasnt booting it, just letting us hear the beast

 

[PaulRobo]

I still laugh when i see the look on peoples faces as i drive by and they hear a dump valve coming from a clio. Never fails to make me laugh when they have to look twice.

 

[Tom_16v]

Sounds awesome!

 

[Tom]

I think nick should post up hire prices (- for the car im not into teachers)

 

[weight]

giggling school girls...!!!!!!

haha!!

I like!!

 

[Colin_S]

NICE, i like the laughing. Thats exactly what i was doing when i watched it.

 

[telford_mike]

LOL ..... and all the small furry animals ran back into the forest, for they were very afraid....

 

[Craggy]

lol, just after the laughing theres me saying "that sounds f**kin mint" but it missed the directors cut

 

[Dash]

Want one

 

[Ben H]

 

[desmondo]

Sweeet!

 

[Nick Read]

Haha thats a corker, Ive never heard it from the outside before! As already said, that was just a test run, not really going for it, probably only about 5 psi on the gauge. When its really on boost then it frightens people! If I change gear fast, say 1st to 2nd, or 3rd to 4th, when Im actually going for it, you get a wicked sound like two swords clanging together -its mental!

 

[Craggy]

yes mate , so glad to see the beast and film it yet so gutted it s not quite finished and up to peak performance. cant wait til may. hopefully well be seeing the clio turbo giving it large up the 1/4 mile. and i already want som buckets with N.CRAGG on them and MA b**ch on the passenger seat lol

 

[Craggy]

who trimmed em mate?

 

[Red16]

[Craggy]

soz ben ad plenty of oppurtunities for those engine pics but was too busy looking at the gadgets!

 

[Nick Read]

Ben Ill get some done soon mate, what about York next month, can you come down and run a few quarter miles? Aint seen you for bloody ages! BTW did you get your indicators sorted out in the end?

Neil, I got Cobra to do the seats like that at the factory. The doorcards I trimmed myself, I got an extra metre of the same fabric off them.

 

[CLIO16V_BOY]

[Craggy]

[ak_uk]

Nick: Will you be able to max it this weekend?

 

[CLIO16V_BOY]

Told my mate it was a clio turbo he thought i was taking the piss and just laughed

 

[Rasclart]

Sounds good mate

Still seems to have old Deep valver growl lurking as well.

 

[Red16]

ya think?

all i could hear was the pssst.....which wasnt very loud presumably because he wasnt even trying, and im sorry Nick, no offence intended, but it sounds like a broken hairdryer!

Bouncy car too!

Still, im expecting something special when its all run in, but you dont get as big a surprise if you expect it eh ........so, i bet it will go slow.

 

[Rasclart]

Shut up Ben

Thought it was sealed forced Induction. Rather than an IK kit. Didnt think it would have the deep growl still!

 

[Scooby Doo]

Its sounding good Nick, all you need now is a bit of rust on them wheel arches......

 

[SoLow]

all I can say is it aint fair! I want one!!!.......but the wife ad funds wont allow

 

[Nick Read]

Ben it bounces cos one of the rear shocks is done in and its a normal street, not a perfectly smooth race track. Broken hairdryer my arse! Id like to see what anyones car sounds like through the built-in mic of a handheld digital camera...your fleet of motors probably sound like someone playing the paper and comb.

 

[BenR]

lol.........still, the paper and comb can carry a tune

Please please please, surprise me when its run in!!!

something like, 320bhp, 15 flames and sounds like a F15 with afterburners on!

ooops, my tail has poped out!.....im so embarresed

 

[paddymph]

proper bo i tell thee!

 

[Dave Hester]

Yeahs sounds awsome, reminds me of my mates escort cossie

 

[cat171]

nick,

very nice, sounds wicked !
