[FATBOY]

thats ok mate!!! why not use the age old excuse! i was drunk!!!!

 

[Mike@Rentech]

The supercharged V6 Mk1 I saw at Thruxton must be up high in the list

Who owns it?

I only earwigged a conversation but it sound the dogs at 320bhp

 

[S2 PTH]

320??? thats pretty nuts but surely they can get more outta that 3.0litre.

You could make more depends how much you want to spend. 320hp is only about .6 bar boost. Since you can get turbos upto 3.5bar boost and more from custom one and since the normally aspirated V6 could get over 315hp without turbo then theortically you get get over 800hp from it but you would need loads of bits changed I dont think the manifold would hold that or the block, rods, crank etc so your talking about needing a custom engine almost.

Sounds like its MikeT car the one you on about but its got (at the moment ASAIK) astock box so hitting the limiter is the same speed as a normal car.

I think 165mph is about the limit achived in throttle bodied 172.

 

[Pete]

192mph was achieved in the prototype V10 Clio Renault F1 built.

 

[Tom]

That car was stunning. transmission they used was really clever.

 

[Pete]

Bit f**king unstable at that speed tho, will have to dig out the vid, Im sure Ive got it on this pc or my laptop.

 

[morgan349]

love to see that vid...

 

[madmat]

those super 1600 clios are the fastest overall i guees, apart from top speed though cos of gearing.

 

[Simo]

Are there any Ice Racing Clios?

Those guys normally get some horrendous power out of there cars.

 

[aaronc]

the twin engined williams would have been interesting

 

[172mgw]

video of the v10f1 clio please, i really need to c this!

 

[S2 PTH]

yes me too, id like to see a clio do 192mph! very fast moving blob!

u think their gonna bring the v10 out with the next clio model?

 

[172mgw]

bleeding hope so, cos id buy one straight away!

Its been done. The back seats were replaced with the engine looked very good.

 

[aaronc]

Hi Edde, yeah i know but never saw it running, had some pictures on an old server somewhere.

 

[S2 PTH]

how did they run that then?

front engine front wheels, rear engine rear wheels?

 

[coolspot007007]

Dimma Clio Cosworth surely must be up there, dont know if it was a modded engine but even if it wasnt itd still be well fast. Sold for around 10k last year didnt it?

Nope front engine drove the left hand side wheels, and rear engine drove the right hand side wheels

 

[wackojacko]

^^^^^ Fool

So i guess the 172 engine drove the right side of your car and the nuclear fission drive sorted the left side, eh roamer?

Lol a V10 clio. Should be as fun as the V6 Twin Turbo im planning.

Will a V6 fit in the CLio easily Im guessing so as a similar sized V6 fits into smaller Corsa engine bays so the more spacious Clio should be fine. I always think it would be a good transplant engine as it has 210hp stock the V6.

Id want a twin engined V6 dci personally tunned to 350hp per engine (huge boost you would need to keep smoke away) in a stock looking car.

 

[Pete]

Sorry not had a chance to check for the vid of the V10, fecked my ankle somehow last night and been layed up in bed all today. Will hopefully find it tomoz.

 

[u33db]

Grp. A/Maxi Williams?

What about the Clio Cup racers, 190bhp and 6 speed, surely these must be the fastest clio round a track.

No he means the prototype V10 Clio Renault F1 built.

 

[172mgw]

how about the rallycross v6 clio, that is gonna b rapid, cos rallycross cars r built for acceleration rather than outright speed!

 

[evilowl]

Never heard of (or seen) the prototype Clio F1 then. Theres some vids of the Espace here if anyones interested:

Linkage please?

 

[SimonV6]

This one is very rapid.

PERFORMANCE (Modified)
0-62: 4.9 seconds
1/4 mile: 11.4 sec. at 122 mph
Top speed: 160 mph (Estimated)
Skid pad: 1.1 g’s

anycar that can go 0-122 in 11.4 sec gets my vote
