My RR day out with pics...

[Tom20v]

Had a class day out today down at TSR the VW specialists. It was an organised Skoda RR day but it was open to others to so i went along with my mate in his octy VRS and me in the clio.

Was £12 for two runs so a bit of a bargain but didnt get a print out at this price sadly..

TSR currently own the second fastest fwd car in europe. This thing is truly mad! I had to sit on it when it was in the rollers because it moves so much, even strapped down!!

2.6 Twin Turbo RS4 engine in a passat running 450bhp +







Me in the middle trying to keep it in the rollers! Scary moment!! lol



Then this turned up!

1.6 vtech clubman! Gotta love it!!

And finaly my car looking dirty and lonely



And the only proof i have of what power she made!



Well impressed with my car! 152bhp @ the wheels. Thats 187 @ the fly. Not bad for a 2.0l clio hey! Produced more power than the vtech mini, a 200sx (1.8T), cordoba 2.0l 16v, golf vr6 and a couple of other cars!

Few other pics here:-

I don't think that's 187 at the fly.

As discussed on Cliosport, that is a very large transmission loss - especially on a fwd williams gearboxed clio.

Well done though anyway.

Hmm thats just what i was told... 152 atw wheels is a true figure though. Which is a very strong!

[jimma]

Surprisingly strong, yes....

[Tom20v]

One sum i was told to work it out by is - power @ wheels / 0.9 + 10bhp

Thats 179bhp..

[jimma]

That would be nearer, but 30 bhp transmission loss on a fwd williams? Hmm.

As you say, 152 atw seems quite a high figure to me too.

[Tom20v]

Oh and i think the rollers must be pretty accurate! A Cordoba 2.0l 16v with a exhaust and filter made 122atw. He was told thats roughly 160bhp and as they are 150bhp standard is pretty spot on...

[Tom20v]

Oh and as for 30bhp loss it is about right apparently.

Craigs throttle bodied valver made 180atw and 216 at the fly

I really do think mine might have cams which i dont know about....Even the tester was very shocked!!

[jimma]

So the Cordoba got a loss of 38 bhp through the front wheels....?

Ah well, doesn't sound right either way. I'd assume your engine has had some serious work for 152 at the wheels as a willy engine.

[Tom20v]

Thats what the tester at TSR said. Its roughly 30-35bhp on a vag car. One car also ran the same on these rollers as he did at Jabba a few weeks previous....

TBH figures dont mean jack. Its on the road that matters and i know this car is quick...

It made 144bhp atw last time at Hillpower and has had a few mods since and a service.
