Car's on the rollers this weekend

[Lowe]

I'm off to Powerstation at Cheltenham this weekend:

Closest one to guess my power/torque wins a cookie.

[IainB]

Bah - I would have gone to that if the car was up and running
And im guessing - won easily

181 bhp - 173 lb/ft torque - i think

[Tumble]

I reckon about 180 ish for power... torque.. dunno... what was it running before?

[Lowe]

Before it hit 158bhp / 160ftlbs. This was before the new turbo/intercooler/2psi more boost but running on rollers which I've since found out are a little optimistic.

Personally I think I'll hit about 168bhp / 175ftlbs since I hear Powerstation are stingy. We'll see though

[Tumble]

so with your guesstimate of 168... how close does that put you to the magic 200bhp/tonne mark?

[Lowe]

10bhp over... without driver

[Zak33]

ttoooo much power for a Clio

unreal...just need a real gearkit now

[Lowe]

Yeah tell me about it. Sadev do a delish sequential 6 speed straight cut box. Only three problems:

1) It's £5,000
2) It needs a rebuild every 6,000 miles
3) It's only rated for 150lbs/ft of torque.

Wish Quaife did stuff (cheaply) for Renault

My guess is 171 on bhp not a scooby on the torque though.

And what sort of cookie are we talking, chocolate chip?

[Lowe]

Aye, choccy chip, one of Safeways best

[BenW]

175/180

[gobbo]

175bhp, 180lbs

Either way, its one hell of a fast Clio
