From T-Jet to 182

[fenton_jd]

Stick the cup wheels on it

Loving the standard looking exhaust on the 182's. Very nice!

 

[Tris Harris]

i kinda like the wheels,

seems a bit of a downgrade to me though, going to a previous shape Clio- but if your happy with it mate thats fine!

they're rapid and handle well!

 

[ChrisUK]

I agree change the wheels there nasty....

apart from that looks in good condition for an 04.

 

[Se7enHP]

Tris I wouldn't have moved it is was a downgrade, one day you will drive one and come back and comment, awesome cars, on my 5th I was going to a rallye, it's the look of the older cars that get me at the moment, awesome. Is it just me or do alot of the modern cars look the same.
Turinis or Ulterleggeras are the only wheels I will be exchanging them for

i've driven two, one modified, one not

 

[Si - Punto]

Nice one dude - I see you plumped for the added luxturies of a full spec version.

Turinis are the only way to go imo :yum:

 

[loudpunto]

looking nice bud! i knew it wouldnt be long until you went back to the clio's lol

 

[clawliger]

ewww hate turinis.


Get pro races on the go richard. now.

glad to see you finally got one tho, where you pick it up from,a nd when you taking me out in it.


OH and btw, cookies 172 made 180.4bhp at the fly on monday with 152.7bhp at the wheels.

am i right in thinking thats a massive drop in bhp through the transmission? I'm not right clever with rolling roads

FWD tends to be around 17% IIRC for tranmission loss from Flywheel to Wheels. RWD is slightly higher IIRC at about 19% and AWD is even higher at 22% IIRC.

These numbers are plucked from memory so there may be slight variance

 

[clawliger]

yer triss its transmission loss.

Mig is right on the average percentages also.

 

[Tris Harris]

So that clio has lost 16% which is pretty average then. i get it now cheers

 

[clawliger]

yerp. average percentages are good to go by. but as with everything in life different factos alter what it actualy puts down on the tarmac.

the crazy thing is tho, considring the majority of 172's RR at around 162-165bhp as standard, and my friends has a De-cat back from Pro-Speed and a Homemade Induction kit that i made him. its an insane gain.

 

[J333EVO]

Nice car, always had soft spot for CLio's.

It's a common misconception that there are % figures for average transmission loss, this is not quite accurate, a car that makes 50bhp will in percentage terms loose much more than a car making 500bhp.

The full details are explained here better than i can put it http://www.pumaracing.co.uk/trans.htm

But for FWD cars take wheel power add 10 and divide by 0.9

Here is an online calculator to work it out http://www.dyno-power-run.com/dynocalc.shtml though only works with full numbers

Therefore a car making 152.7 makes at flywheel 180.7bhp which is near as you can get to the r/r print out of 180.4bhp.

 

[clawliger]

was looking for that link to the calculator. cheers j333evo.

 

[1.8Stilo]

nice link to the calculator - comes in handy


nice car se7enHP use to drive my mate quite bit and really like it, can understand why you've converted back


please change the wheels though, as there gash superleggras :worship:

 

[wolfracepunto]

Noticed this on the other forum last week or so... Nice car, but who the hell would put 17s on a 182 :nutter: Turinis though? Yawn...

 

[Se7enHP]

Cheers for the comments guys, I am booked into GDI this tuesday for new brembo HC disks front and rears accompanied with Mintex 1144 pads allround and Stainless steel braided hoses allround, 12k/1year service (despite it being only 5k and 9 months since last service, piece of mind) cambelt and auxillery belt at same time, and matched and ported inlets.

different and more original than the usual turinis most people go for

Next mod later in the summer

 

[jamie86]

Good choice, I was tempted to go for the t-Jet until I looked into the Clios a bit more and glad I did!

Just got some HC's and DS2500 with ktec hoses to fit on mine ready for a trackday next weekend which I hope is were I realise i'm not bored of it yet

Hope your not going to Pay the £800+ that the genuine Recaro's seem to go for
