Supercharged or Turbo 197

[mr blue182]

After driving the 197 yesterday I think it needs alot more grunt ,ie a turbo or a superchager , drove a lot of cooper s at work . A bit slow off the mark ie if you plant it it dies then picks up and go`s. I think it would be better with a turbo what do you all think .
the steering feels like its electric power steering asked the sales man about it and yes had`nt got a clue .:dapprove:

dont ask sales people, my m8 rob used to work at reno and i asked him about the cars he said "couldnt give a fuk mate, just need pub money"

you'll be lucky to get anything in that little engine bay, I'm sure a turbo conversion will emerge at some point

Turbo conversion/supercharger conversion could be done but personally if you want more power then normaly aspirated tunning is the way forward.
Its an electric stearing rack though.

 

[jonnyboy]

to be fair if you want more power the obvious thing to do would be to get a megane and save yourself a couple of grand while your at it!

throttle bodies will go straight on, i've already measured!

lol at fred...look forward to the yoz'd 197! :approve:

if you want more power, buy a different car...

Once you look at the price of a specced up 197, and the price of a turbo...

Id waste 25k on an exige mate!

Clio 197 = big step up in safety, refinement and build quality. Big step back in driving fun. Typical modern car then.

I'll be hanging on to my 182 for some time I think. And even if I did swap for something else, it wont be another "hot hatch" as they are pretty much dead now.
