Focus RS all day, they are not cheap to run so don't know who told you that. Mine was 350hp and drunk V-Power like it was going out of fashion 15-20mpg on average and as its a 12-13 year old Ford it's not that reliable but on the day where you have a full tank and everything works it's awsome!!
Yeah trust me the Mk1 isnt the track weapon everybody thinks it is. I did say a sorted Clio not standard though, iv done a few and although on the straights my RS would fly by when it came to corners and you factor in a bit of turbo lag the clio can really hold its own.
Just remember that having and tuning a turbo'd car it sounds great in theory but be aware that means there is a whole lot more to go wrong under the bonnet. lol
Exactly always been aimed at different ends of the market. Thats why they endorce Mountune as their offical tuner so if anybody wants it a bit more hardcore then send your ST to them.
Iv owned both the Fiesta ST and the Clio and at the time they were both out I would class them both as hot hatches the only difference being the ST was aimed more at the younger and daily driver end of the market and the clio was aimed more at the serious drivers car end of the market hence the...
My Focus RS I just got rid of would have monstered a tuned 182 in a straight line but around a track I think I would have struggled to keep up with a sorted clio, so much so that I have sold the RS and now looking for another 182 because I want some fun back.
Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news
I think it looks so pants, Renault like most car companys now are getting too "fussy" with their styling. Not for me as it looks too much like a little city car now.
Re: Tim's R26 Banana Boost Bus
Yeah thats it if its set up right the gains can be massive. Im currently running 336hp and 380lbft on a normal GT25 but a hybrid can see nearly 400hp with no problems.
Re: Tim's R26 Banana Boost Bus
Is it a Garrett unit because we have a guy on the RSOC who works for Garrett and he sells them at trade price direct to us and it works out so much cheaper.
Re: Tim's R26 Banana Boost Bus
What turbo does the R26 take? My Focus RS takes a Garrett GT25 and im still on the original. A replacement is only £370 so it may not be as expensive as you think.
9.1mpg, I sometimes get that on a brisk road drive normally in the RS and im pretty sure my mpg scale doesnt even bother to register anything above 24! (and that's motorway driving) lol
Im running 15 psi as im on the standard actuator at the moment, went out for a blast last night and I had an Evo driver pull up to tell me how much he liked the RS lol
