Hi
Can i ask how this is running 224bhp?
Whats mods have you done to achieve this? As they do not even make 182 bhp from the factory, do you have RR graphs to prove?
Cheers

 

[gti6steve]

cant wait for the reply to it

 

[one in a million]

lol a knN and a remap and a decat wow if thats the gain then clio modding here i come lol

 

[marinemackay2003]

do people just make a figure up nowadys

 

[Addz]

Awaits the "I've just brought a 230+bhp cliosport" thread.

 

[K1NGY]

Big air filter :lolup:

 

[DIDITNO]

or the ive just bought the car d civic hes also selling thread. followed by the ive just lost 5 grand through paypal scam thread

 

[Wick]

I definitely need to get a K&N filter and Remap

 

[Darren S]

Hmmm - it's in Blackburn. Maybe I should go have a look at some point while at work?

I was thinking that, looks too standard for one of 'these' types of clios that's been supposedly modded

If I lived closer I would sounds a nice clio

 

[Laine_16v]

Must be GDI rollers

 

[Gray]

FLOL.... goes off the clock, classic.!

 

[JD]

I've just bought this!!!!! Goes like the clappers!!!! Much faster than a standard 182!!!!

 

[Joe R26]

just why!? goes off the clock? I thought the clocks went up to 160! Thats one fast clio

 

[gti6steve]

What a tool :rasp:

 

[JD]

Decided against buying this. There are no racing stripes. Would rather one with 250bhp...

This tbh, plus there's no mention of a superchip so I'm out

 

[AdamR]

Hmm, only 10 miles away, I should go and have a look!

 

[davo172]

Some TOOL will believe the Bulls**t ! I love these ad's thou ! Perhaps its the CHROME exhaust tips that give it 60 bhp extra !

 

[Goodj]

Looking at the top=quality picture editting, I'm guessing Macve has started trading?

And I'll have you know that stripes actually add 140lb/ft of torque between 0 and 900 RPM.

 

[davo172]

Maybe they will take his word for it he does have a great feedback score !

 

[Bassplayer]

I expect it's one of those internet "specials" that you hear about. Revs to 11000, has one of those electric "superchargers" and of course an Ebay chip/resistor that gains 30bhp, chrome knob behing the wheel...etc ad nauseam.
I'm off to tweak my clio to 300 bhp by p*ssing in the petrol tank, well, I did drink a lot of brandy last night.

 

[JD]

He has a rolling road print... I'll link to it if he posts back.

 

[Matt350.]

According to the specs its all from a 2cc engine wow thats awesome lol

 

[Silent_Scone]

I'd laugh my arse off if it's actually running a low pressure turbo and a genuine statement

 

[treemanx]

I think he's selling his car from Gran Turismo 5? With those mods on the game its about the right bhp tbh!

Dear sixgt123456,

Hi
Can i ask how this is running 224bhp?
Whats mods have you done to achieve this? As they do not even make 182 bhp from the factory, do you have RR graphs to prove?

- smashingpumpkin10

got this back:

Dear smashingpumpkin10,

upgraded manifold carbon fibre kn filter stainless decat and full miltek stainless exhaust system and i have had it mapped by remap science

- sixgt123456

I must admire the extremely thorough and technical response from our friend here. if all it takes is these few mods to get mine to that power then christ bring on payday. These individuals really should not be allowed to sell vehicles and he will most likely sell it to another numpty who will claim the same figures. :S

 

[Laine_16v]

So thats abuot 180bhp then.

 

[scotty2hotty81]

I'd laugh my arse off if it's actually running a low pressure turbo and a genuine statement

He needs to be with those figures!

 

[Ad172UK]

What upgraded manifold can he possibly have?

No-one makes one.
It's already tubular steel.
The only manifold upgrade I hear of is 182 onto a 172.

Ive got Pipercross Viper, 2.5" Full system inc decat, Matched inlets, CatCam 421s and I'm not running 224bhp! lol

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I dont understand people taking time out to email/harass him about his claims. Theres nothing worse.

 

[BoomOne]

zero feedback as well. Must be a scam

 

[Gt rob]

had a 172 come in to have some tyres fitted the other day, asked him if hes got any mods, his answer was "none, but its faster than a standard 172"!

 

[welshname]

It's the 17" wheels that do it

 

[cliobritt]

just text him, im after a cheap 182 as i dont want to put lots of miles on the EK9, will put up the convo soon......

 

[Blacky950]

hes got a civic type R for sale aswell and its stewpidly fast but its got a trolly dink hah
