View Full Version : Throttle Bodied clio is for sale!
I would love to keep it, but unfortunately its not practical for me to be running 2 cars, and I dont want to use the clio as my daily drive, so iv decided to sell up.
open to offers. I paid more than its up for, and iv spent a fair bit on it since. Its also running a LOT nicer than before, and iv sorted no end of bits and bobs that needed doing on it.
as it is its pretty much spot on, tax, mot'd and ready for some fun with a new owner!

mmmm let me guess...Martin :lol:
I love this car. With a few choice mods would be the ultimate mk1 clio track slag.
Wish i had the money....
Hope martin's decided to go for it! [-o<
^^ Thought he was super skint??!?
so when u picking it up martin? :wink:
OMG why can't i have that sorta money!!!!!! i'd snap your bloomin arm off
:eeek:
CONGRATULATIONS MARTIN !!!
:hug: \:D/ =D> :bowdown: :groupwave: :thumbsup: :notworthy: :driving: :clap: :thumbsup: :excited: :ooomg: :cowboy: :yourock: :winkey:
nice one!
will anyone else stand a chance on track now lol?
:-k
looks like you will have to get throttle bodies on the nana!! :wink:
:goodposting:
Made sense for martin to get it. I think his name should change from paid member to official williamsclio "track slag".
where did u get 5k from? rob a bank? :wink:
TB is the next stage for the nana BUT I won't be doing it, something for the next owner to do I reckon.
Slicks will be the next thing for me I think, and just enjoy the fecker... :twisted:
Yeah....
IMO thats all the nana needs - Slicks!
Is a weapon anyway. :twisted:
I wanna get some proper slicks as well :twisted:

yeh im well happy martin is having it tbh!
loads of vids, and track days etc to come!
still pissed off that out of 12 months ownership, 8 months have been off the road.
i bought a video cam, roll cage, lightweight rims, among other things, but ended up selling everything!
martin has teh best end of the deal because its running better than ever now :D

Ive only ever seen and heard it once, that was the day it broke :( lol
haha, been in it fookin' loads of times when Mehdi had it... my favourite Clio full stop this!
Williamsland tends to get all the quick clios!
Looks like I'll have to go down the turbo route to stand a chance these days lol

Can not believe this has taken the same route as the 'nana...Gaz get saving up as you'll be buying it next.
I wonder if Me, Craig, Martin and Gaz have the same taste in women too....?
Awesome machine, miss it loads. EASILY the fastest car i have owned. Take care of it Martin!

dont think martin can afford to run the electric meter now lol. :wink:
cheers guys it's gonna kill my bank balance but I have a feeling it will be worth it.....
My aim for next year......fastest mk1 in the country & 12 sec sqm N/a :shock: :)
Woohoo!!
i know im gonna regret selling it, on my way to work i was picturing the impreza drivers face the other day when he got smoked when i took the bird out for a spin in it! :D
but im really glad martin is having it. Its gonna get used properly now, and there are gonna be LOADS of vids of the beast! cant wait!
martin PM me what ya wanna do regarding the bodyshop, cos if im gonna book it in could do with doing it today, or your welcome to the car anytime otherwise, even this weekend is cool with me!! :)
And how, exactly, am I supposed to keep up now?!
Good answer! Too much money for me though unfortunately. I'm poor right now :oops:
Stop with the peer pressure will you :!:

12 second quarters! never gonna happen! that 13.4 was bloody hard work!
Easy ;)
Cracked the 13's in a non cammed hybrid ....I have good faith
Fare bit of weight to be lost from the beast .....Martin stylz :wink:
...Sorry northy has a CUP car but think Scott just has a normal Cup car.... :doh:
Scott's should really be the CUP because it's got more engine. Northy's could almost be a cup - not even a capital letter to start it, because it's got non-original harnesses.
12 second quarters! never gonna happen! that 13.4 was bloody hard work!
I have plans.....might revise my target to beating nick reads 13.3 if btm end work is uber expensive.
^^ isnt nicks time currently the quickest mk1 time full stop.
only 0.2 secs to go! with your track record that should be easy!
Indeed I believe he still has the mk1 record....plenty of turbo'd mk1s around but none have topped that yet....slicks & a bit of mild stripping should see that beaten. :twisted:
yeah, but remember Adi has it now, I think that time will get smashed once he's allowed to drive again

When you picking it up Martin? :twisted:

:roll: Thats not soon enough, we need vid footage :wink:
:P
i went to bedford with my mate on sat, i was dreaming about how good the clio would have been on track there.
some of the big boys would have got a suprise me thinks, the clio is a fair bit quicker than quicker than me mates gti-6 and that didnt do bad!

23-10-2006, 13:32
See, regretting selling it already :wink:
this car sounds awesome, can't wait to see some good footage of the beast, what was the terminal time for the 13.4 1/4?
What you getting next, Craig? A 306 Rallye would make a good compromise :wink:
i think the terminal on that run was 103mph.
well i cant afford 2 cars, so its gonna be something in between :)
hahaha :lol: at martin.........what was that phone call about 2 weeks ago mart, gonna get rid of the clio, but something quite and comfortable to go work and back, i was gonna revert back to standard and all was going to be happy over with the Waltons!
Since then you've purchased one, if not the quickest Mk 1 clio and i'm thinking of getting mine remapped!!!lol
All the best though mart, give us a ring later and let me know your next plans!
Great news 8)
Glad it's not going to some spotty chav (well saying that, I dunno what Martin looks like)
Hopefuly see some vids of this baby revving upto 8500Rpm and running 13.0sec 1/4 miles :twisted: :lol: :twisted:

This is Martin and his sister, but I think they're dating too :lol:
nitrous oxide will have it into the 12's, no problem :twisted:

fuk me im gonna miss this car. and i was taking it reasonably steady too!!

Really interested to see how you're gonna get on Martin. When I ran a 13.4 (in fact, you were there!) there was a lot of weight saving (door cards, mirrors, wipers, seats, carpet etc etc) and near ideal conditions, and i class myself as a half decent 1/4 miler with a bit of experience.
12's with nitrous?! Never. The difference between a 14.1@98 and 13.4@103 is about 3 seconds in terms of 0-100! That's a big gap. To be running 12's this thing will need slicks, LSD, even more weight saving (windows etc) and a healthy power hike.
IMHO of course!
either way its gonna kick some ass on track! :D

It will be ridiculously fast around a track....i'd put money on it being faster than Adi's turbo due to the way it makes the power.
In all honesty it needs an eBay Motorsport Resistor Chip and it'll be high 11's...trust me. My mate Kev has seven strapped to his 1.0 Nova Merit. Coupled with a Cherrybomb exhaust (that sounds da nutz) and fluffy dice he can proper take a mobility scooter whilst 3 up.
Rapid!

LOL, A guy at my work came to me yesterday to ask for advise on his car (Rover 25 :roll: ) Wanted to know what I thought of his new mod "it only cost a £10 and it gives me 20+BHP!!!!!" I didn't say anything just..... :doh: :screwy: :firegun: :rofl:

Yup tbh that 13.4 was an awesome effort..the car will usually run 13.7/13.8 on a 'normal' day...and the car was running very stripped lol But I think with the weight saving plans I've got I'll be aiming to go low 13.3 / 13.2s to beat the mk1 record.
I reckon I can lose at least 50 kgs out of the car as it is now.....more power looks like it's too costly and tbh I would'nt run nitrous ..there is too much money invested in the engine to risk it for me.
i know the GAZ coilovers arent the best, but it handles really well. when i had a few laps at donington, it was no slower on the corners than the nana.
im confident martin would beat the 13.4 even if its only by 0.1.
defo wouldnt have nos tho! lol
If I can get the weight down to 840kgs which is quite realistic it will have the same power/weight as a M3 CSL 260 bhp/ton!
Enough already I want the car..... :lol:
you need to come and take it away mate, after taking it for a quick run last night i was having 2nd thoughts hehe!!
wish i would have seen this a month ago.......
cant wait to see this on track, must be a beast :D
martin is selling this track williams mate!!!
yes noted.......................
:D

evouk, just to give you an indication of the calibre of cars i own...i had this built a couple of summers ago. And the 'nana' that you hear about is another i had built.
Now buy my Williams! I'm getting daft offers for it and i think it's about to go for silly money :cry:
remind me of the link to it
