[Paget]

discuss

 

[Paul.]

o dear o dear

 

[cliolou]

lol maybe the clio driver forgot to put his foot down?

 

[Gally]

I was too busy laughing about 10seconds in to see the rest of the video sorry.

 

[Paget]

well the fiesta has at least 150bhp, it is stripped.
just crap a crap clio driver?

 

[Gally]

I honestly do not know!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Was it just me, but was the clio not white?

 

[iimushroomzii]

Erm, is it me, or is that not an RS clio?

 

[Gally]

Looks like a dynamique back bumper?

Myabe it's silver but it looks white!

 

[iimushroomzii]

Looks like a dynamique back bumper?

Exactly what I thought....

 

[Gally]

Played it a few times and still can't tell, the front looked a bit like a rs but the backed looked like a normal clio.

It does look white tho.

 

[jesus]

That's a colour-coded non sport, and the worst start of a 'race' in history.

 

[Jat_172cup]

Doubt very much thats an rs clio there dude, wuld be a completly diff story lol

 

[Paul.]

what a silly thread tbh:boring:

 

[Gally]

Black bonnet like that guy off of here pearson?

Probably not...

 

[Paget]

what a silly thread tbh:boring:

hows it a silly thread?
im on the side of the clio and was confused as to why it didnt take the fiesta off the line. im not exactly going to get answers on the fiesta forum am i?
what a silly post by you

 

[Beef-Mc]

Oh and it's very probablay that the clio would be beaten off the line, power comes in at 5K don't ya know.

cheers for that. the fiesta has vct that kicks in at 4k. just found out he was running a 1.6 box too. shorter ratios.

to compare both cars standard for standard its a no brainer. looking at some pisch attempt at a race (fast n furious style) which appears to show a non rs driven by a monkey against the fiesta isnt much to go on is it??


silly post?? You made the thread.

[AndyWilde]

that is not an RS Clio...I can just about beat the 180 bhp FRSs so std they are no problem for any half decent driver!

 

[Jat_172cup]

fiesta - 0-60 - 7.9
clio rs - 0-60 - 6.7

 

[_Tom]

A RS clio is a fair bit faster. I have mates with both, well, did.

Thats not a clio sport. Prob more like 1.4/6

 

[Paget]

it has the engine from a racing puma in so is running about 150ish bhp.
i was also led to believe it was a 182 which is why i asked the question in the first place.
sorry that i dont know that much about clio's

 

[AndyWilde]

why put a FRP engine in a fiesta when they are less reliable and the same bhp as a zetec S?

 

[Paget]

lol. your heavily mistaken there mate.

frp - ford racing puma #500 made. rare as rocking horse s**t 155bhp
zetec s - 103bhp.

also an easy conversion although an expensive one

 

[gaz44]

I wouldn't base anything on this video.

But the answer you are looking for is yes, a standard Clio 1*2 will take a standard Fiesta ST, unless you go to the Fiesta forum where their car will bridge the power gap by cornering twice as fast.

Put a crap driver in a Clio and there is a chance the Clio will not take the STd.

Simples.

 

[Ads_172]

I could be wrong, but I don't think the FRP is the same engine as the ZS? I thought the ZS was 'around' 100bhp?

Ever heard the expression think before you speak. Ads look it up mate.

Apologies I meant ST!!!!

 

[jonathanedew]

S*d the times. Would you rather be driving a crappy fiesta or an RS? :approve:

No brainer IMO

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

This thread is full of ghey today.

FRP isnt as quick as any RenaultSport Clio.

 

[_Tom]

This is a silly thread to be fair.

This is what happened to my mayes festa..haha

 

[Gally]

Good mate? Focus st?

 

[gaz44]

^^looks like it was shat on!

...probably by a Clio

...1.6.

 

[Paget]

thats a fiesta st.
the fiesta with frp is considerably lighter than the frp and st.
i never said that the fiesta was faster!

great first impression of cliosport

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

One which:

- doesn't look like a hair dressers car
- is not bright yellow
- has well over 125 bhp

Oooooft!

Hanbags at fiffty from you sir :star:

Everyone is the judge and jury on here mate.

We are clio owners/enthusiasts. Post a video of an RS clio supposedly getting stung from a FRP engined Fiesta and obviously its going to cause back lashes of argument's.

It would be like me posting a video of my 172 horsing a Focus ST and posting it on a Focus owners club, it would go down the exact same way.

i agree with what youve said i however have posted it because i dont agree that the fiesta should be winning

paget that is not a 182 in the vid they never made them in white and why would anyone remove the 182 back bumper and put a 1.2 bumper on? doubt it would fit because of the twin exhausts.

are you intrested in a 172/182? if so there is some very useful info on here. welcome along
