Hill climb Clios

[oreA]

Friends are watching a bit of hill climbing near Truro and spotted this Subaru Impreza powered V6 looky likey, aptly named Subareno Cliopenza :smile:

Sounded great !

There's another Clio there too......

The v6 looking Clio is @gtrnav s car. It's great to hear it's still in use!

^Yeah, that's Neil's car. Thread on here is 'Rooby Clio 172', it's worth a read as it's essentially an entire Impreza chassis under a Clio shell and running decent power

The blue one belongs to @Brushwood69

Just looked through that thread, most of the images are gone

This is his page for it on FB: https://www.facebook.com/Gould.Clio/?fref=ts

He keeps that one updated.

I've just remembered how short Tregrehan is LOL

Left, right, left, done.

Ha yes very short but so tricky to get right! I'm a FWD virgin as well as only having 180(ish) bhp. I normally race a 340bhp Audi TT quattro. The Clio was great and the long right hander just before were I was in the photo allowed the clio to really swing its rear out a bit. The only thing that let it down were the T1Rs and the lack of a diff. With those and I think I would have been fighting for 4th/5th If I had the TT (Blown turbo) it would have been 2nd :weary:. I know Neal very well and today his car went very very well. He told me about the cost per run as he runs 105ron fuel at nearly £6 a litre ouch. Thanks @oreA for the photo!

Aaah, T1Rs. There's your problem!

Neil was telling me the other day that when he was doing drag runs at Perran he was using 3 litres a run!

Wish I was able to get there! Friends of mine sent me the piccies & vids :up:.

Thanks for the update!
