306 GTI-6
why is it lighter than the 1.6?

I agree, it would be a waste of the money IMO unless you have a way of doing it on the cheap. Having said that, if your car doesnt fit into the cliosport stereotype most people will tell you its a waste of money. So if you want to, do it, interesting project.
Your cars smart by the way.

less bhp/£ than an rs and then you have to factor cost for handling mods.
lovely dream but not worth it.

no they wont.
drums pull up just as well (infact better) than discs.
my 172's on 1.2 brake setup and refuse to change it as it stops me from 120+ effortlessly and quickly

come back to me when you know what you are talking about.
did i mention fitting a veyron engine?
do you have brake rollers at your disposal?
assuming the answers to the above are yes, take a clio with rear discs, and a clio with rear drums and put both in the rollers and tell me the braking efforts..
as you cant do this i'll tell you what the results will be, drums pull up quite alot better.
i've actually had to lower rear braking pressure with a bias valve as they were producing too much effort
drum brakes are well known to be better than discs, have you never seen chevvy v8 ac cobra kitcars running sierra rear drums??
the only disadvantage to drums is they fade quicker due to heat build up, but if you can get get the rears to fade on a clio i'll buy you a medal.
fronts i'll admit are having problems with fade, but effort wise they are perfect.
oh, and no need for the snotty comment unless its justified either.

how about 250+ with 182 brakes.:rasp:

why have renault not fitted all rs' with 1.2 break set ups?

partly aesthetics, mainly down to customer demand.
i'm not denying discs are the better option, but i'll happily argue the fact that drums are MORE than up to the job for my application, as 1 i've done it and tested and 2 i know of plently of cars knocking on the doors of 3 times the power/ torque output on sierra rear drums as i mentioned..
dont forget the 1.2 16v setup is from a williams, and my car weighs about the same as a williams now.
the 1.2's so overbraked as standard its fine.

exactly, you get alot more "bite" from drums due to the self servo action,,
the extra bite is required to initiate a drift, and as you lot with discs will know the handbrakes on calipers (the inboard drum setups arent so bad) are frankly awful.
really? in what scenario do you outbrake nearly everyone? on track?
Ditz... You sound like you've fully tested your brake setup, so fair play it obviously works. I'm just speaking from experience of my 172 and 182 standard setups suffering from fade after prolonged track use... so assumed the 1.2 setup would be worse.

Raceing a lotus exige comein up to a roundabout doing 140 took me four car lenghs to get down to 40!! He crashed! I was pi55ed beacuse we were racing for pink slips aswel!
That never happed.
But dont take "out break nearly everyone" as me sayin its the best car on the road, jus in my class of car.

No. Just no.
Think it through. By the time you've had found a charger, fabricated the charger mounts, figured out where you're getting drive from, changed the inlet manifold (yours is plastic and won't hold at higher forced induction pressures), upgraded the injectors, rigged up the IC setup, found an stand-alone ecu to run it etc etc etc.
Stick to the tried and tested F4R (1*2) engine... and save yourself spending a lot of money for no reason.

Too much work tbh, you'd need one-off mounts, drive belts etc etc etc... as i said above.
Not worth it on a Clio. If you want to go that route, buy a GT/Glanza and a paper bag to wear whilst driving the ugly little fcuker.

its only worth doing if you can do all the work yourself (well apart from maping) so its costing you parts only. if your getting someone to do it, forget it!
still wont be that quick but will give a nice low down torque gain, we supercharged an MG ZR and what a difference it made in day to day driving!

The mini supercharger etc is a good idea loads of popwer need some uprated injectros and cvlutch realy for big power maybe use water injection or intercoler or bother to keep power but with stock internals your always gonna be limited a greek or italian magazine turboed a 1.4 years back and got just over 180 I think on stokc internals but the car always had trouble apparently and was sold but not sure if it was running high ron fuels etc which would have helped with power. for big power you'd need to spend a lot but 160ish should be simple and safe enough,.
Stock brakes at the front are the same as fitted to the williams which was rallied and had 150hp stock so there fine rear are drums but there fine as well.
There fine for use.
Whats the problem there were used on 150hp cars so a few more isn't an issue.
Because it sells differentiantes the models and helps the marketters and for racing they need it.
