No mention of an LSD? Surely thats going to go in which ever direction it decides it wants to?

Smacks of going all out for power with no thought of control. But still, would be a lot of fun!

 

[Knuckles]

i saw this at the NW rr meet... its an absolute sleeper. you wont know its charged untill it flies past lol

 

[Silent_Scone]

It's been for sale for a while mind you I think. Not an easy car to sell though. Especially when IMO he's asking a couple grand too much.

 

[daveski]

Does seem a bit overpriced. Would be a laugh though

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Is there some sort of illness that goes around that when a Clio's been modified to the nines that the seller has to punt it?

I really dont get it!

 

[Skeeter]

For some people its more about the modding than the end result.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Some people are retards.

 

[MarkCup]

Wow, that's amence.

 

[Jay.S]

absolute animal when you hit the go peddle and it sounds amence

LOL

 

[Bobby.]

Sure this is a repost, iirc it was said that's its over priced in the last thread. Looks nice though.

 

[Christopher]

Amen(ce).

 

[172Ben]

Already has a thread, was overpriced then as well.

 

[guysy]

No pics of the engine on a car which power is a main selling point :/ would definitely want to see what the bay looked like!

probably looks amence TBF.

 

[Chris205]

I actually dont think its overpriced at all, however I wouldnt buy it personally. Its still got very low mileage on it regardless

 

[plymcl172]

even if I was interested which I never would be, this will put buyers off

That is the guys on here: dean_blue44, pulled a 13.3 down the drag strip at Fast Show (Santa Pod). Pretty good to say it doesn't have a Diff Imagine what it would be like with one..

Yep thats him impressive car !

 

[RDH]

Same old b*llocks. Buy a clio, supercharge it, ruin it, and then try and sell it for more than its worth.

 

[Munson]

Standard gearbox?

Maybe he had more plans for it? Diff later on? A car like this is an on going project, unless you have tonnes of money to lay down at that instant.

Standard gearbox?

There isn't an upgrade on standard gearbox, only a longer ratio'd DCI box.

Disagree. Passenger ride in a forced induction clio and so will you.

 

[Munson]

Passenger ride <> ownership?

 

[RDH]

Disagree. Passenger ride in a forced induction clio and so will you.

Yes because that will make me want to ruin my car. If I want to go faster than I can at the minute I will buy something different to a Clio. Simples.

 

[MarkCup]

WTF? I never noticed the price.

Was that really NINE THOUSAND POUNDS for an almost 7 year old Clio?

I obviously need a ride in it. Then it'll make sense.

 

[Aydon182]

So what car will you buy? I'm sure we can all pass our judgement on that too. It's a fun thin opinion.

I wasn't justifying the price by my comment, I was saying it for the fact that some people like to force opinion by saying charging a clio is ruining one, and coming from someone who's never driven or even passengered in one it makes the comment pretty useless.
Personally yes I do think it's overpriced, but no doubt he just wants to cover his loses as much as he can, which unfortunately is never the way.

Lol.

 

[Gally]

engine has done just over 2k miles since it was built

My favourite bit. Yeah you realised it was still a Clio and you couldn't be arsed rebuilding it every 3 yards... seen it all before.

If I had a pound for every Turbo'd/Sc'd Clio that was sold within 6 months of conversion i'd be facking loaded.

 

[Mike@Rentech]

9 grand !!!! Errr ok let me think what can I purchase for that??
mmm

 

[tom172cup]

13.3 is that it needs to try harder lol

You've become quite the cynic!

http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?330875-You-ve-come-into-some-money

Of course you can say that you're older now, but what's to say the owner of this didn't feel the same way as you did at that age, and actually had the money to go ahead and do it?

Me personally, I wouldn't spend that sort of money on a Clio, either. Fair play to the owner regardless.

In all fairness that was almost 4 years ago when most 182s were worth probably 8/9k.

But yes I'm also not 17 anymore so spunking all my money on cars isn't my main priority anymore. The amount of Clios that get charged and then sold within in a few months proves that they either never work properly or it was never worth it in the first place.

 

[Steven103]

Especially when IMO he's asking a couple grand too much.

He was asking 11k last time it was on ebay IIRC...

Employing the "I've spent 9k on it, therefore it must be worth 9k" strategy IMO.

4yrs ago they were worth about 6k - that's still 6k you were allowing yourself to spend on modifying it.

I'm only trying to prove the point that yes you might not want to do it now, but you did at one point, and what's to say this lad isn't younger?

Stereotypical CS view on FI clio's. Because a couple of people have had unsuccessful builds on clio probably due to things like going too much boost on standard internals, now all of a sudden every charged clio is inevitably going to blow up? There are actually alot of charged clio's that are unfortunately not on this forum. It isn't actually rocket science to build a very reliable charged clio. For instance the one we are talking about now has the spec's to run the power very reliably with forged internals, sufficient cooling setup. Only threat being the gearbox which has infect proven to be a capable gearbox unless your abusing it yourself by forcing it into gears but then again any setup could be exactly the same ITB's or whatever.

 

[p@blo]

Ruin a clio? Lol.

Wouldn't pay that much personally. Imagine its a thirsty beastie at 330hp too.

 

[dean_blue44]

thanks for all the comments and views guys but everyone is different and I wanted something different and that stud out. Like iv said before it would cost in the region on 8.5-9k to get this spec and there are people willing to pay that, so why is this expensive to buy a car fully done? I use the car every day with no problems, like aydon said if you drove a supercharged one you would soon change your mind, but everyone to there own.

 

[yellow_chris]

i totally agree with you dean..
i am really enjoying the time with my ly 182 so far and if i had a spare 5/6k to even turn it into a 280/300bhp car i would.
If you enjoy the car you have and you dont mind spending a big amount of money on it then who is anyone to judge your opinion on that ..every knows fine that when you start modding cars you will 90% of the time loose money, but its something that everyone on this forum enjoys.

 

[Munson]

People can do what they want with their own car but, capable gearbox?

Lol it's the worst gearbox I've ever used. Even when brand new.

I agree but as long as your not doing full throttle launches and burn outs there usually fine.
