It all well and good saying its 'worth' 6k because you like it. The hard part about selling anything is finding someone whop has 6k to spare on a non-essential car that they will devalue if they...

Well easy to prove me wrong, put it up for sale at 6k and see if it sells.

**Flame suit on**

You wont get 6k for it. People are losing their jobs and we have more debt in the UK than Greece (personal and governmental). In time we will go the same way. The only people who...

And just why are '172 cup boxes' meant to be stronger?

What engineering reason is there for this?

Just checked, the MK2 race cars did 0-100 in 10.5 seconds according to Renaultsport

And if its a 1/4 mile car, i cant see the point of any synchro box. Dog gears is the only solution.

Mid 14s?

I doubt that very much. Some road cars can egde that.

Anyone with an informed opinion?[/quote]

They arent significantly quicker in a straight line than a standard road car.

Would...

:roll:

Some of the shitter i see people buy for 3000, this has to be a bargain at that price, IF its is as described.

If the subframe doesnt have rust on it i will eat my own legs.

Mid 14s?

White dog shit is pretty rare now but id still rather have a dash plaque thanks.

Anyone any idea what a standard mk2 clio cup race car would do?

This is dead cheap and easy to get them back to black, all you have to do is understand why they go grey, reverse the process and viola, they look like new.

Good thread, still waiting for the non-anecdotal, hard stat evifdence that shows the 2.2 Modeo is faster in any respect than a fully functional factory standard Williams.

A quick scan of the le mans forums and i found out that Audi needed to get a a 50 % larger displacement limit, a 52 % larger intake restrictor, an absolute boost pressure limit nearly double that of...

And if you look, the regs for the diesel engines in Le Man were different from the petrol engines to make them competitive. If you applied the same rules to the diesels, they would have been rubbish.

In gear....but we dont drive in one gear do we? We go 'through the gears', or change down if we need to. What insane reason would you want to compare 'in gear' performance?

I love the way diesel...

Diesels are slow off the line because they have NO REVS. You have to change gear too many times the petrol car just disappears into the distance. The only way a diesel can be fast is when you have...

Because just as he has a a right to publish whatever he likes and hold an opinion, i too have a right to hold an opinion, question his facts and figures and criticise the work if it is of poor...

Good effort.

Exactly,

It is not as if you could even say 'well the Modeo is less fun, but still faster'

Because in ever single respect, it is slower than the Clio.

But the facts are that it is slower in every respect and Evo said it was quicker. Perhaps you could find some data to support his position?

Also he clearly bent the truth with the MPG.

My personal opinion is that people buy mk2 shells because they are easier to find in good condition.

C1io Williams

Please list the Clio Williams that you have owned below.

You binned it then?

Diesel Modeo 0-60 : 8.4

Clio Williams 0-60 : 7.1

Diesel Modeo weight : 1600 kg

Clio Williams Weight : 990 kg


He also states that the Modeo 'probably using half the fuel'. Which is easy...

In an article i read the other day he was saying his Diesel Modeo was a faster car.
