Bare in mind the front wings on a clio 172 are plastic

Ive had many a run in with the "diesels are so slow cos they dont rev highly blah blah"

Cliosport members. They thought it was so funny when I said a chipped 130pd would be quicker than a 172. A few months later I beat a Cup from a rolling start which I had to post on the forum, needless to say they a few of them all of a sudden went quiet apart from the odd "chipped versus standard isnt fair" comment.

Dam I missed all the fun cause I was busy in work. DAM! I was really looking forward to posting.

O well till the next time.

Odd how all post relating to the Fabia have now been deleated.

hehehe I remember some of your posts Thing is a Clio Williams with 162bhp is only just faster by about 1 cars lengh than my standard 130bhp diesel so a 172 or cup ain't gonna be a problem when the furby is chipped.

In defence of french cars:

I have had numerious Renault 21 Turbos, last one was 4 wheel drive (quadra) 240bhp.

It kept up with WL until 90mph on a drag and was nippier.

Hads to go due to chassis not being able to take any more power.

There is a thread started up in the driving tails section of Cliosport about one of them having a race with a Fabia vRS. All the usual comments are there about how diesels are only good because they catch you out at low revs etc. Same old story.

Can't believe I missed out on all the fun!

Would google have a cache of any of those posts? I've missed the fun too :(

Ive just looked through the forum and seen afew threads regards the scooby's:D well me owning a scooby as my weekend car and seeing some of the clap they are coming out with is unbelievable. I keep wanting to come up against one of these 172 with the furby but never have had the oportunity:(

Yep maybe they will put a different record on cause the one we keep on hearing is getting old.

BTW I was only beaten by 1 car length from 70-120 by a clio williams running 162bhp the other night, it was a good friend of mine as well so we bought thought we'd give it a go.

I've put the post up about the Golf TDI vs 172. Their now saying it must be a v6 TDI. LOL

I can vouch for the fact that it's definitely a 1.9. But it's not quite standard!

That will be the one with 6Valves then?

Perhaps it's the 4WD

In old Octy 4x4 I could launch stupidly fast (sorry clutch) and let the haldex sort out the power.

By time the 172 has caught up it's a fairer fight, but torque wins
