what do peaple think would win in a bypass battle? my brothers rs or his mates 182,quick spec of cars.clio is just back from k-tech and has 181 bhp at wheels,rs is a bbr chipped but unknown as was on car when bought.hes had 4 of different stages from 162 to 194 and feels bout 170 by my arse.theres no my cars faster than yours going on it just them wondering as cant do it as my bros rs has no tax etc,so will be new year before they can try

jammerrs

clio as the speed starts to pick up, but the rs to start with as im guessing it has more torque???

Pete frst

A few clios have had ago at mine,they seem to pick up quick being na i spose,but then mine just fucks off.....clios and st 150 drivers.......

jammerrs

i went out in a st today and that felt fast as fook, never been in a rs though or a clio

I would say the clio will leave the rs turbo standing on the line and by the time the rs is up to speed the clio will be too far gone.

jonnyrsturbo

my brother has just gettin a 182 trophy, not that fast

madsi

i was thinking my bros rs because its a nice healthy one but them 2 are sitting on the fence.should be a good race as their both pretty nippy cars and the clio revs to 7900 rpm would you believe,if rs loses were putting his old head with the piper cam in and having a rematch ha ha

Red16

The clio will be quicker off the line and top end imo!

The Clio's making 181bhp@wheels which is about 210bhp@fly, plenty claim to but not many RS turbo's are actually making 200bhp+ from a simple chip.

madsi

oh yes its not as powerful as the clio,his last rs made 190 at well lane with chip,head + cam,grs cooler etc and that was rapid

Chris69

standard clio i'd say RS but sounds like the clio has had a fair bit of work so i think the clio might win judging by the spec of the RS you've mentioned- RS might pull it back top end but i doubt it.

Coldo

You obviously don't look on ebay mate? They are ALL 200bhp with just a chip!

madsi

yes the clios had a bit of money on it and hes getting throttle bodies next.so our jays returning fire by putting cam hes still got in and then big intercooler and hybrid when he sells his bike

danneth

182

woolford

turbo. imo

G2RSR

the clio will win because it sounds like its been set up lately

and the clio has had alot done to it by the sound of things but alot more can be done to the escort turbo

Bazzon

Clio will be fast, but to have a clio 181 at the wheeels it must have had some decent mods done on it. To see 200+ at the fly a clio needs to be running wild cams or ITBs. Or have been RRed on very nice rollers.

OvaBoost

A clio with 181bhp @ the wheels would piss all over it, in a straight line and in the bends

madsi

im not sure on full spec on clio but from what my bro says its next level of tune would be throttle bodies or a turbo.when he picked his car up from k-tech they took him in their turbo one that has 260 bhp

I took my mate to brighton to buy his clio 182 two weeks ago as we were coming back along the motorway doing around 70 i was in fifth so was he i told him to put his foot down to see how quick it was compared to mine he dropped from fifth to fourth and i just planted it in fifth and watched the boost gauge fly round and the clio lights get smaller and smaller in my rear view, retro power will never die! safe to say he was sick as a parrot 7k on a clio and still cant beat my twenty year old rst!

pa_sjo

I'd say a standard 182 clio would beat a stage 1 erst. Having owned both I can honestly say the clio is far more refined and quite happily sits at 140mph (indicated), which is most likely a lot more reliable than the erst speedometer!

MrCapriScort

Would have to be a well sorted and modded RS to beat the clio. Off topic....Been in a mates new 197, pulls like a train, and handles like a go-kart. Old ford has more character

nickywarwick

imo the clio would piss on the rst. having owned both. the clio should have it of the line & top end + once over around 4500k revs the clio's are quick cars. k-tec are renault specialists so id belive the claimed power.

which 182 does he have? ff, cup, trophy or poverty spec?

clio sports are capable of a genuine 140mph, got a video of my clock reading 145mph & the shift light just came on, i think 147mph would be tops.

Oranoco

That sounds lik a rapid Clio and the RST is at most average. As much as I love my RS's I would put my cash on the Clio. Tell him to stop fannying about, spend some money on the RST and wipe the floor with that French tat

AFPMSL at 180 at the wheels.

We had a K-Tec 182 on the rollers on our last RR day. K-Tec had 'mapped' it 'live'. (ragged round their estate for 5 mins) and told the guy that it was 'about' 197bhp. It never went near any Dyno with them though.

Guess what it made on our rollers??






































169bhp!!

(and thats a Flywheel figure).

Oranoco

Is it too late to retract my previous comments?

Ive driven a few 185 clios and they go well. I can remember playing with 1 in my cossie and on the corners the clio was kicking my arse i just couldnt keep up with the clio but as soon as i got on a straight i just flew past the clio.

i agree i drove one, nice car but not that quick, i think my s2 would beat one quite easy?my s2 has just over 200 bhp.

nickywarwick

that would be a 182 clio then glenn.

big diffrence though over 200bhp from a cossie to a 182.

but saying that when dan first picked his saph up i gave him a good run for its money in my old clio 182


aj- your s2 probly would beat it but thats with an aclaimed 20bhp more at least.

i know my old fiesta would piss all over a 182 having had a run in with plenty.

madsi

some good opinions here i will get on to jay and try get more info on the clio as i havnt even seen it,as jay lives in sheffield and so does clio fella.

Red16

its not just ebay, its any for sale advert

kosman

danneth

i did track day last week in my clio 172 ,nash had a few runs out with me ... it was very good up to 100 mph then seemed to die its got a cat back system ,and induction kit ,,,very impressed up to 100 but then 4th gear was shite ..car only done 33k

Bazzon

Idd our track clio goes round corners like its on rails and if kept high on the revs is very quick.
My 182 road car is amazing in the bends but the AST's give the track car the edge (on smooth tarmac)

3i_gaz

i think the S2 would get HAMMERED

my mate had a S2, chip, cammed, filter, exhaust,

and a STANDARD 306 Gti6 pissed all over it lol
