Blue Clio 182
I am scared when any car goes fast tho, When i was doing 120 it didnt feel like i was going that fast, thought i was doing 100 and when i looked i had to ask who ever was in the car to check coz i thought i was seeing things!!

It wasnt revving its nackers off tho, I think the speedo must have been wrong, It just felt normal!!

dont think extra weight makes much difference when it gets going because mine done 110mph with 5 big guys in it and it doesnt do much more than that with just me in it but trying to pull away at a junction etc it felt like it only had half the power.
straight line mine is boring slow but the feeling when your flat out at 110mph round a lbend watching the much more powerfull car dissapear and its all good lol

Your day to day driving
lolWeight affects acceleration more than anything... your car could have a cow in the passenger seat and still do the same 120mph just take 3 years to get there
mine feels twitchy at 90!! lol

yours is standard tho is it not?
Yup, probably the reason! lol
its not to bad! guite a bit of torque to get u going and a steady increase of speed to about 85 (dont really push it that much! got 120 out of her with 5 rugby players in it lol!
sounds good with a powerteck induction kit on it too!

I dont always get 120 out of it only when i'm on my own or with 1 other person and if the boot is empty, my driving is good
I managed 120mph on GPS in my Mk1 Ph3 Clio 1.2, but that was down a hill, and it sounded like it was about to give up (I think the extra passenger and luggage actually sped us up, thanks Newton). And you have the same engine in the much heaver Mk2, no its not going to cruise at 100, I could just about hold 80 (which is a much better cruising speed than 100 anyway), any sign of a hill and it bairly held 70 with max revving.
Your not missing out on much anyway I go pretty much the same speed on the motorway in my V5 (good for 140) than I did in the Clio, its just nice to have the extra speed when you want/need it, cruising at 100 is just asking for trouble.

Remember asking RStuning in leeds and it would add about 5-10bhp with a map.

remap the ecu... adjust the fueling etc.... its a lengthy job thats why it costs so much, better off having a remap once youve got a few mods under the bonnet really to make it all more worth while..
I suggest:
Panel Filter, Decat, Exhaust, Headwork and a map (and if the inlet manifold is as poo as the 172 then get that worked on)
