I like the car in the background of the first clio pic......... NOT (in the style of Borat)

That clio needs phatter wheels.

Hmm i would never have that clio though, my mate had one, not the v6, and it feel apart, and it looks like a ufo. Bit too boy racer for me :/

Comparing a standard clio to a V6 is like comparing vanessa feltz to caprice

An Evo, maybe. An R32, possibly. Audi RS4 probably.
Title: Re: I love my Mk3 but
Post by: MowatGTI on 22 February 2008, 13:25
Yeah.  RS4.

Last year at Crail Raceway, I watched a RS4 race a brand new M3.  It was a 57 plate M3, 1 day after release.

Its was pissing with rain all day, and the RS4 won every race.

If it was dry, the M3 would have won (As top gear have showed), but the 4x4 system really showed its stuff that day.

To post a link, just copy and paste it in as text.  The form recognises it as a link.

For the past 30 mins i've been glued to you tube.  I love old rally cars.

Audi S1. Rs200. Metro 6R4's.

They all rock.

And Delta Integrallies!

I think it's new car time for me this summer anyway - depending on how much in debt I fancy getting myself I'm considering:

MK2 16v (but worried about reliability - should I be?)
MK3 VR6
MK4 1.8 Turbo (but heard they're underpowered?)

And I do keep looking at R32s, but I'm also moving out this summer so I don't think finances will allow it!  :angry:

Also this is completly unrelated but noticed it in one of the related videos on mowat's post:

Oh My God.

How did that guy stay on his bike!

I doubt he'll get closer to a near death experience!

It wouldn't be possible to get a sticky or new section for people to post youtube links for crashes, races, mods etc?

Im sorry to keep posting these youtube links, but look how solid this Lancia is in the corners.

Tom go with the Vr6.
Yes the Mk4 is underpowered, same bhp as a Mk3 16v in a heavier car!

Yes, but after a remap it's not so bad. :wink: Plus you'd get better MPG than the VR6.

Title: Re: I love my Mk3 but
Post by: vdub virgin on 22 February 2008, 17:34
went to a rolling road last nov when i had my saab turbo n there was 2 series 1 RS turbos there,
i was drooling all over them! :grin:
always bin my fave car!
bt dissapointing on the road,one of them had the run aborted cos the operator refused to continue in case it went bang! and the other was running to rich and only got 134 bhp...........
the operators were saying its a common prob 4 them,you tune em up then a mth later theyve gone bk 2 running 2 rich!
still hav 1 thou!  :cool:
Title: Re: I love my Mk3 but
Post by: kells on 22 February 2008, 17:39
yeah im not really on about performance, my swift gti is running at 156bhp and thats without a turbo, wipes the floor with rs turbos that are running at 200bhp..

just wait till i get the turbo on the swift...205 bhp :wink:
Title: Re: I love my Mk3 but
Post by: vdub virgin on 22 February 2008, 17:45
swifts r 1.3 arent they? cant remember
Title: Re: I love my Mk3 but
Post by: kells on 22 February 2008, 17:54
swifts r 1.3 arent they? cant remember

yes they are twin cam 16V 101bhp standard form but rapid as hell, mine is highly modified, as i said before its 156bhp, as a comparison, in a straight line race it kept well in front of a 205 bhp 2.9 VR6 engines MK 2 golf, and also completely wiped the floor with my mates 195bhp Rs Turbo S2

the swift is VERY fast, the engine uses all those 156 ponies and puts them down well, i have forged crank and pistons, Full superchips remap to name a few things, im gonna be inporting the turbo conversion for it soon, then its time for some 1/4 mile days out :)
