Been in this and its fast a fook, it was a lad called greg that built it himself and it was so fast it used to trist the roll cage in it.
that xr2 is evil
Yep greg, good lad. All built from scratch, custom mounts and shafts. First 16vt conversion in the uk iirc.
Companies do it now, i was quoted £5000 + engine cost!!
still a punto shell lol
13.5 @ 106 was best time. Blew quite a few lumps hence thats why i stripped the engine out and converted it to an Audi 1.8T engine ( see Clio TT ) for more power and reliability
Was the audi a custom mount jobbie?
It was a custom mount everything - cost nearly £10k by the time i sold it and made over 400 bhp
How much you sell it for if you dont mind me asking?

£3200...... i lost interest in it. Quite a well known car on the drag scene.
One major reason was it was very unstable and it got to a point were i knew i was gonna die in it as i would not let of the acc pedal when it lost control - i just kept it planted and steered out of it. The torque steer was ridiculous and it had a habit of violently pulling to the left at high speed through fast gear changes.

Grafted a ph 2 front end on and painted it matt black
Not normal developments ( matt ) owns it now
awesome!! But £3200, thats a steal!!
Wonder what it would sell for now?.........
just read this thread from start to finish its wicked Mattblack/NND that clio is amazing was it the nos that detroyed the lumps?
need more sleepers.
It was the gas yes, but to be honest the engine hadnt been set up properly to take gas. It was my second Nitrous powered car and i was inexperienced with the stuff. I fitted a digimax progressive controller to safely inject the gas in over a short period of time as a 75 jet would cause major damage being thrown in at one go. It really needed a piggyback ECU with a map for the gas
To be honest the 1st engine lasted 6 months ( including a 2000 mile round trip to the south of france and spain in 2005 on a cliosport holiday ) the second engine lasted about 3 months.
The problem with Nitrous is you have so much fun with the stuff you want to use it all the time

Gotta love the Matt tbh
In no way a sleeper but........ My Nitrous V6 with 100 jets back in 2002 ( you can just see two 5 pound bottles behind the back seats ) . Ran a best of 13.4 @ 107 mph which wasnt much faster than the orange sleeper. I blew the V6 engine as wellbut got that covered under warranty.
I have some vids at home but never get time to download them
