Reading through the boards it seems as though Nick Reads BB convereted Clio seems to be top of the tree, even though its killed a few boxes and is generally not the best conversion available as reliabilty seems poor, are there any other clios about which are running 13 quarters or pushing over 200bhp?

Would say the best overall clio would be Maccas (Darrens) Clio GTT with a proven 230+bhp, and low 14 quarter miles, but is there anything else about? Are there any other BB converted cars on the boards as it interests me that I havent seen any at Santa Pod and for 7.5k you would expect people to be showing them of everywhere!!

Any other suprise cars on the boards? And what are V6s running the SQM in?

the Torsion Tuning car has a GTT conversion and is runnin roughly 280 BHP still needs to be RR once parts are bak in afta chromin but should be pumpin out some serious powerage!

Although Roamers 172 with throttle bodies is pushin 240 at the moment but i know hes got a few more tricks under his sleave

me im pushin bout 90 so watch out ;)

Whats the spec on the torsion clio? 280bhp out of a gtt lump is serious power!

I have also been dissapointed by the 172s I have seen out and about, not as quick as I would have expected seemed to be averaging low 15s at Santa pod, but have read that a few are running 14s.

the REAL quik clios can mostly be seen at york mate

ur lookin in the wrong places lol

btw AFAIK none of them are bbtuning,hill power(major mods), ktec prepared

the fast cups are runnin de-cats filters n rsport ecus, mainly chris n nic, rich ds, and tim n charlie os, all runnin btween 14.0 n 14.5

the ph1/2 clios are also putting up a good showing with adis 2.0 beast runnin 14.3-4s???????? closely followed by mehdis 14.4, closely followed by mine 14.6, (mines runnin without a chip tho)

weight ran a 14.7 at york also i think , but his is lots quicker now, runnin 14.3 i think at pod

so it seems pod looks to be the quicker of the strips, altho the times seem to be slower..........from experience i ran a 16.3 at pod in me old valver, n it took me nearly 18 months and a few more mods to equal it at york, and finally beat it

sorry if ive missed anyone out

the clouds of smoke are foggin me brain lol

Most Cups are running mid 14s with no or minimal mods and there are a few running 14.0 & 14.1secs with only simple "bolt on" mods, so nothing special tuning wise and there will be Cups & 172s in the 13s next season...

There are quite a few running 14s actually...

When my Cup was brand new, I ran 15.1 then 15.0secs dead at Santa Pod, with only 1250 miles on the clock, it was the hottest weekend of the year, the car was totally standard, not stripped and I had camping gear in the boot!

Then went to York with 2700 miles on the clock and ran a couple of 14.5s in it.



Most of the quick Clios race at York

Its 89kg mate.

But so much depends on the individual car, the driver, etc... that its difficult to get an exact time difference.

There was one of these for sale a couple of years ago in the Midlands. Cant remember exact figure - was under £15,000.

As it is a cosworth lump 280 bhp is easy to extract with minor mods and with the four wheel drive system traction shouldnt be a problem.

  Clio 172 cup 300bhp


my mate mat has an m reg valver and spent £9k on a bb turbo conversion, with water cooler etc he only runs 8PSI most of time and with that he has over 200bhp! At 14psi is around 250bhp but has had problems with drive shafts! He went to Nurbring with my Brother early in year before I had my cup but could on run 4PSI and kept with my brothers CUP which is v.quick and he is a good driver, Roamer has meet him, my brother and I meet him breifly at Soolihull Renault! Anyone fancey a meet in the midlands

Last time i saw power figures he got 190 ish BHP and i think that was at 18/19PSI? 190-230 is quite a big jump, I dont know if i missed something on RTOC or on here though.

i would say that any clio that gets near low-mid 14s is good

but 1 that hasnt had £000s spent on it to do so is even better lol

hehe u not wrong lol

also covers a lot of other ppl too, mainly the near standard ones.the mega tuned examples dont quite seem to be able to get the decent times, e.g the supposed 190+ bhp stage 2 williams that was at the last csc day at york.......think he only managed low 15s in it.........cant remember ur name sorry, but gettin beat by near a second, by a very near standard car........well dont say much for the modifier, i was expectin to get blown away by it , but it never happened

there are a couple of cossie powered clios, i saw 1 for sale a couple of months ago and it went for 7 grand.

also there was a rtoc meet not long ago, and there was a lad that is now racing for renault with a pretty much standard 5gtt running stupidly quick times, some people with massive tuned 5s were slower than him, and they let him drive theres and knocked alot of time off, just goes to proove it down to driver abillity ..

also im pretty sure darrans clio gtt at the last rr he had done he was over 200 bhp, had it settup on the rollers and was around 220
