Trumpets ftw :P

I know its only banter but why would you want NA power if you could afford to do the turbo conversion?

220bhp vs an easy 260

7800rpm vs 6500 rpm

Really stupid loud BAAAARP or the stealthy flutter

Oh, and the fact that you dont need a ned radiator, dont have to go standalone and TBH its WAY more bang for your buck

Look at coops pikey engine. Probs cost him the same as a 1st class postage stamp to buy that unwanted f7p block from paddy.

Turbo/boost > NA

In my honest opinion, for proper track work, turbo'd clios just aren't up to the job, the power is rather wasted as you really can't put it down properly, it's too much for the car to handle. Plus turbo's are waaaaayy more complex & expensive plus trumpets will always sound better & the only turbo's cars that come close to sounding as good are 5 pots

[Coops]

not to mention new head for free parts have cost me a total of 50 quid upto now for complete new engine rofl!

Mine has cost me an absolute fortune over the years!

And as for track work I’d agree with paddy. I did my first track day at goodwood a few years ago and in the morning used the Clio. It was fun and it surprised other cars. In the afternoon I took a civic type r FN2 round (the space rocket shape with triangle fogs and tail pipes) It was sooooo much easier, and although it had 80 odd brake less, and heavier the civic was probably quicker.

Saying that, it was never built as a track day special. Remember playing with a Porsche on a dual carriage way and looking at the drivers face.

Come on peeps more pictures off BOOST!!

I know theres more out there!!!!

[Coops]

dont get me wrong, its cost a lot to get there, but its cheap (ish) to maintain compared to other 12 second 1/4 mile cars i know......which is none

[dhay14]

[willyturb0]

Must be more turbo'd ones left?

Up to date pictures below. Cleaned the dust off it on the driveway then took it out for the day, getting it dirty straight away.
