The cheapest 200bhp per ton route

[james l]

Has any one got 200bhp per ton out of their clios?:evil:
How much has been spent or would be spent to achieve this.

 

[Cooksport]

Strip your car its free!!!

 

[Moose23]

Nitrous always gets results when used correctly with a controler ect

 

[james l]

nos..the happy gas:evil:

 

[Moose23]

Its good stuff just gita remember it runs out quick but good fun and most insurance companys are fine with it as its only 1 mod 50hp jets on a 172 = 222hp and dont put to muchstrain on engine plus bottle easy to hide from sight and passengers

 

[marinemackay2003]

2nd hand bodies and some stripage should see you good

Nos is good but constant filling up and a bottle won't last all that long

And by the time your bought installed ect you will be close to itbs fitted ready to go

 

[theduck]

strippage is the cheapest route

 

[james l]

I had nos on my mcs... was alot of fun and so addictive. Only problem was the constant refill.

 

[172Ben]

cheap and nos and 200bhp and clio dont really go.

You could get close if you lost everything inside, with 2 bucket seats.

 

[marinemackay2003]

Some serious strippage though^

 

[ashdadrummer]

stick with the old mk1s and its easy
on thursday I should have about 220bhp per ton from mine with a full interior etc
and its only cost me £200 but I was VERY lucky when I bought it

 

[john182rs]

serious strippage like the clio tt with plexi windows.

 

[drhowser]

i reckon a standard clio would have to weigh close to 800kg to be 200bhp/ton!

 

[172Ben]

You could never get it to 800kg i dont think? Mines about 950kg, and there is only the dash, roof lining and the air con i reckon is left to remove?

 

[james l]

like this would not go with the wife

 

[james l]

800kg is close to elise territory.

 

[ashdadrummer]

I reckon you might just, would probably involve cutting virtually every panel that wasn't crucial about.

 

[james l]

How about free bhp ..like porting the inlets outlets, heads, throttle bodies etc.

 

[drhowser]

i doubt it!
burpspeed is 800 odd, and there is nothing left to take out there!

 

[172Ben]

Yeh, i dont think 800kg is possible really. You would need a cage if your cutting the skins etc out?

Mine is like the above, with ITB's and im 218bhp per tonne.

ITB's etc arent free?

 

[james l]

:hail: you must be driving a beast

 

[drhowser]

yeah, i think bodies and stripping would be the cheapest way.

 

[172Ben]

:hail: you must be driving a beast

Its not to bad

 

[drhowser]

just had a look, burpspeed is 875kg at the moment.

i'm hoping for about 230bhp/ton when mine is done.

 

[sideways danny]

i doubt it!
burpspeed is 800 odd, and there is nothing left to take out there!

878.5 with the cage. It'd probably fold up like a crisp without the cage though, lots of holes drilled and cut

 

[172Ben]

LOL. Imagine it without a cage and no door skins etc. Probbaly bend in the wind.

So itll be around 825 is without the cage?, and thats got fook all left.

 

[drhowser]

that's it!

i'd say there is almost nothing more to take out. 10-20kg dry?

 

[james l]

lots of holes drilled and cut

sounds like it might let the rain in...lol

 

[james l]

how about skipping for 10 hours a day untill you get down to 50kgs..lol

 

[Moose23]

Ha ha yes or leave the big macs at macdonalds

 

[james l]

also clean the car and give it a good vac..should save a few grams..

 

[chrispy.clio]

I have ITB's and rather stripped and i have 217.4 bhp / ton. So mine isnt as good as ben's lol

Stripping it out is well an good but to get the high bhp/ton figures you have to chop bits out and that when you cant go back to standard. Thats why i'm getting a cage now asthe only next thing to do it chop more bits off that i dont need :evil:

 

[msm]

Chop! Like what, any pics?

 

[Tony Hunter]

878.5 with the cage. It'd probably fold up like a crisp without the cage though, lots of holes drilled and cut

Don't forget that's with the heavier wet wheel's on it as well

 

[Nick172Cup]

I reckon with basic breathing mods (decat exhaust system, matched inlets, decent induction kit and a Fastchip map) with a bit of weight stripping can get you to near on 200bhp per tonne. With them modifications, mine has got me to the 180bhp mark so only need loose 100kg tops which isnt too hard.

 

[Ian_182]

TB's and a bit of a strip,i wouldnt go too mad because you wont notice any difference....

 

[chrispy.clio]

TB's and a bit of a strip,i wouldnt go too mad because you wont notice any difference....

Chop a little bit here and a little bit there and before you know it you've lost another 10kg.

 

[KungFuSpaghetti]

better to have 200bhp/ton without having to remove bits of car imo

 

[dancook]

Have you thought about going on a diet?

 

[Macester]

take some laxative a couple of hours before you go to drive
