Underworld Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Just saw this on cliosport forums: "They need 400bhp to stick with your average 300bhp car due to the weight of them." - Discuss Whos been racing eh? I beg to differ. I went up against one of the guys who's respected on one of the supra forums (lucifer or something?). Think he's got 450bhp. He was quicker but there wasnt feck all in it really! Wasnt getting away anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham S Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Yeh right, we should all sign up onto the clio forum and ask if anyone wants to swap a TT for a clio as we want something quick! All chavvy chat I think, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain2010 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I was a member of this site when i use to own my valver and i gotta admit according to them nothing is quicker than a clio!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'm a member of that site, cause it gets me discounts to the renault garage in Portsmouth. They are mostly chavs indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Do they offer discount at other renault dealers?? As I have a clio as a run around... and that 1200 is definitely faster than my supra!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I made one of them look silly at BPU...The V6 one that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Ive got a 1.2 clio too, slow as anything, but i presume their talking about their 2.0 variable valve timeing cr*p. i dont think ive ever seen a car with true VVT that actually makes the HP that the manufacturers claims, Honda Civics, Colt Cyborgs, all down on what they should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

how_supra Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I've just bought a little 1.2 clio too for a runaround. We are all the same. [well we're not, but i like to pretend we are ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I have a clio as a run around... and that 1200 is definitely faster than my supra!! I can't remember to be honest, I've literally been there a handfull of times. I'll see if I can remember my password and check it out. Oooo I could do a big 'oh yeah they're all twats on the supra site' type thing.

Tricky-Ricky Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Unless your up against a 300bhp Saxo then you might have trouble;) just for comparison the J spec supra weighs 10kg less than an R32 GTR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Got a friend who just sold his Clio 182 sport. He had it chipped and fitted a filter and thought his car was about 210bhp!! What with his assumed power to weight ratio he thought his 0-60 would be around 5.2 secs!!! Do people not realise how hard it is to make more power out of an N/A??

grahamc Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Go for it Charlotte... I had a go against a V5/V6 midengine "whatever" thing in my WRX impreza in South Africa. The WRX bet it, but not by a hell of a lot... I only had an exhaust and induction kit... So a 400bhp supra tear it a new A**H***E!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Im on there too, pimping tints! They are a tad on the daft side bless them. Tbh i dont think anyone that doesnt own a supra know how little they actually weigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibbleyuk Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 how much does a supra acturly weigh i see so many different figures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I've signed up and there'll be a mildy offensive post on there later tonight as an area in which to vent my anger and job frustration. Supra weight - about 1,500kg I think is the correct ballpark figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson Trimming Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'm a member of that site too..They hate everything we do so its always fun to show them what they can't afford..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Be careful saying they are all slow. When i was at Shakespeare county raceway a stripped out clio 172 did a 13.8 quarter mile ! Supras are not heavy really, i think they are about 40 kg's heavier (rz spec) than the latest evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
