Are you sure?

Lal B3N · Feb 18, 2014

I'm going to dig my old slips out, were a few low 14s.

Car was 174.9bhp has it hadn't been mapped then, still had standard cat plus full interior. Was running ktec induction, custom 1 box catback exhaust and Pirelli Pzero nero road tyres.

Wayne where the flapping hell was that RR?? Performance torque? Lol

bit generous at 184.

Mine runs 181 at one place and 192 at another

the latter seems better flol

wayne9989 · Feb 18, 2014

It was a place called Rolling Road Services local to me...It ran as high as 196bhp at one place and the guy was asking which cams I'd got installed! LoL

For a 182?

MartinR · Feb 18, 2014

Mines 182 Waynes was 172

FQ NICK · Feb 18, 2014

Can I ask what terminals you are getting with these times.
I have never ran a clio but Northy who I bought it off ran it at the pod and got a 14.9, that sounds about right to me.

I have ran my evo loads of times over the years and find a good 60ft will give a faster time but lower terminal speed , don't make sense really

Coops Mk1 · Feb 18, 2014

I'd guess terminals in the high 90's? never run a 1*2 up pod myself

I did a 14.29 in my 172cup (exhaust, filter, map, no rear interior)

That's a quick time. At Santa Pod?

Although I have no interest in running mine on a drag strip. Would rather spend a day on track. I wonder what an ITB'd Clio would run..

MartinR · Feb 18, 2014

Bit different but domsclio came to santa pod with us last year and if i remember right he couldn't get the power down until half way up the strip lol

Supercharged 182

cs_dave · Feb 18, 2014

Dom was getting 14.3 iirc

dlee182 · Feb 19, 2014

Interesting and some decent times posted here. I've never done a day at the drag strip, would be interesting to see what times I could achieve between my cars and see what the power/ traction issues bring with:

330bhp/ton (AD08's?)
256bhp/ton (with its slicks should be good?)
And the clio at shall we say 160bhp/ton

It was at shakespeare, hopefully will be going again later in the year once I have sorted out the ECU issues. It did run a 13.8 but that was with a turbo and running rough.

Santa Pod is supposed to be quicker now after they relaid their track last year

Cub. · Feb 19, 2014

I'm doing the UK Power Run for a laugh and to join a friend running his 67 Mustang. So Hastings, Shakey and York all in 3 days with the driving between

I've done RWYB at Santa Pod and Shakey before, but I wasn't quick (low to mid 15s). Car has since been stripped and has AD08s so I'm hoping for a slightly better time. I don't like launching it though or rushing the gear changes, the Gripper'd box cost me too much to lunch by being a hero

It's good fun at the end of the day, and my clio was built for track not drag (unlike Toms

) so I'm not too fussed on times.

Nick172Cup · Feb 19, 2014

When I was a chav I got a 14.85 at Santa pod in a Mk1 Clio 16v, standard engine just with an air filter and decat back exhaust system on Toyo T1-S's. Lol

Oh, forgot to mention that it had no interior (just one seat, steering wheel, interior loom with no dash, no bonnet) so weighed 820kg.

Did his clio used to run high 13s? Standard to iirc.

yeah mine did a 13.9 (just!!) at Shakespeare

.Joe · Feb 21, 2014

15.5 in a 172 with full interior, full tank, and a heavy ass subwoofer, probably looking to go again but with none of that extra weight

60ft is more about the time, terminal is more about the power.

The tyres I bought the car with are cheap crap and spun most of the way down the strip to be fair haha going back up in march and will fling some decent tyres at it and see how it goes

i'm guessing you were at crail?
I managed a 14.37 in my 172

hopefully i'll beat that this year

tom172cup · Feb 26, 2014

I've managed a 1.7 60foot. Aiming to get that down to 1.4/1.5 this year

That's a good 60ft for a fwd car.
1.4 / 1.5 would be slick territory surely.

That is on slicks. With the new turbo motor I can drop pressures a bit more and now have the power to pull through them

Always thought yours was supercharged or did you go over to turbo ?

its was supercharged but couldn't really get much more power out of it so I'm building a turbo motor now

What mods did you manage to get that time with?

stokie4ker · Feb 27, 2014

I did a 14.44s with a terminal of 100.9mph at Shakey in my pretty much standard 182FF.
Was on the 16" wheels with RS2 tyres running normal tyre pressure with a boot full of junk so a stripped out car on 15" wheels with tyres that have actual grip should be able to drop into the 13's.
When it was on the rolling road at Viezu it made 146hp/131ft-lb at the wheels a few months later with the same catback exhaust, V6 airbox and RS tuner 98ron map.

I've got 438's all be it i had a pretty weak engine in the car
also got a v6 airbox, matched inlets and a de-cat

need to get in on the rollers again as i'm running a different engine with the same mods

also need to get up to crail

im actually unsure.
i was at xtreme in broxburn and it made 200 which is unrealistic,
swr put it on a different set of rollers and i made 191 but i don't believe that either.

I'm thinking i must be around 180,
hopefully i can get it onto the rollers soon and get a figure

Djw John · Feb 27, 2014

Mine was 179 and ran a 14.4 mildly stripped and given the lack of difference at kh I would agree, that engine was circa 180

Quarter mile times!
