RB 182 195bhp
I saw this also. Found it extremely hard to believe it would make 210bhp with a standard inlet manifold. Surely if you bought it, dyno'd it and it made hugely less than claimed, you could take it back and say he's full of sh*t and get your money back? It's falsely advertised isn't it
RS Clio 172 Cup
He's 2miles from me, let me know if you'd like me to have a look for you

When I was looking there was a 182 with cigarette ends an an empty bottle of pop in, Asked the guy (salesman at a car showroom) how long have you had it in? His reply was two weeks!!! more then enough time to get the bloody hoover out.
Whats the expected power to be with cams and pistons? on top of the obvious air filter and exhaust system.

Raider, 172, the van
He says 519 fitted the cams and pistons.. Maybe he could back this up as he should have record of invoice.
it's a stock engine with 428s. it made 194bhp & 150lb/ft at SRR with the ITBs fitted. When it had the ITBs it was a boomerang car, kept coming back to me every time it changed hands, with issues that were always down to the poor ITB install, then they kept going to the original installer (TDF) as they made promises to fix it, then presented a big bill. I believe it made 184bhp at SRR before the ITBs were ever fitted, but that was a long time ago. I've seen it with 4 owners at least now

I remember seeing this at the rolling road day. The owner the was talking about how badly the itbs were setup and the problems he had. Then Llewellyn brought it and sold it on as it was too good brake if iirc
My friend Luke owned this for a while, he said TDF were utter bullshit, excuse after excuse and never running properly, he sold it cheap as he didnt want the hassle of it anymore.

yeah Luke came to me first but I was refused a copy of the software to sort it out so he had to go back there. It used to take 10 minutes of idling from cold before you could use the throttle or it would stall.

I work on the same industrial estate... definitely looks like they're still going.
Don't see many Clios outside compared to a year ago though.
