I am Scooby less waiting for my mate to part with his classic. So sorry but I have an 05 Clio 182 Sport at the moment. I would like to have it re-mapped I am in the Swansea area. Is it worth chaning filters or fuel pump first?

 

Try AVS Performance in ystradgynlais he is a Renault specialist.

His name is Craig. Nice guy.

i just sold an 05 trophy had lots of mods you wont get much out of a remap as the engines a tuned as standard,i only had 206 bhp

 

Keep your cash for the Scoob Mate

 

A 182 will be as fast as a scoob if driven properly so save your cash as a map will not give much gains other than slightly improving drivability.

 

my clio would kill a scoob on the bends ...fact

 

Agreed, in real world conditions they are fast, just don't trust my rs197 in very high speed bends, I don't like opposite lock above a ton.

 

Fiction.

Although my mates 182 cup will sit with me for a short while on the A4069 the whole package of the impreza ie awd, chassis etc will shine through in the end.

But it's all down to the driver at the end of the day.

 

True, I did bottle it down the brynamman side of the blacks.

 

ye i agree the scoob will shine through but the bends is the place for the little clio

 

He did scare the Jesus out of me once over the blacks. Bet the trophy was in another league over the cup

 

like i said it was 206 bhp coilovers whiteline antirollbar she was fast fair play loved it in the bends hold her flat and away we go

 

Depends what scooby you got..!!!

 

In the wet aswell??! Can't see it myself,yes they are nippy,they are good in the twisties, but in the wet they are a deathtrap!! I do speak with experience,drove my mates 172cup many times and my brother in laws 182, you can't knock they are are a handy little car but in the real world with the weather we have here,scooby killers they most definitely are not!!

Small example, we were together in a row of traffic on the a470 going into the horseshoe bend, we overtook on the bend and I left him standing, I waited for him on when I got to Nant Ddu,off we went again and he just got further and further away in my rear view mirror, and by his own admission he had no chance, can't get much more real world situ than that for me. Oh and they are shocking going uphill, powr was non existent IMHO.

Great cars but not for me, 4wd even if the scoobs are partial to a bit of understeer from time to time!!!

Was surprised by mine on the last run, wasn't expecting to keep up, but did no problems.

 

Built to epynt, epynt to dixies??!
Lol not disputing they are a very good car inthe dry, I just have doubts on them in the wet, and as you said,high speed cornering I didnt find them the most confidence inspiring!
u still got yours then Jarv?

 

And hirwaun to sennybridge until I got stuck behind an old guy in a spec-c who ended up taking me on a wild goose Chase through llandovery, Yeah still got my winter toy I think I should do it the other way round and use the scoob in the winter.

 

Oh would this be when I was running my engine in I wonder?

To be honest yes we did go astray when we got to Trecastle but I did actually ask you to go in front of me as I was RUNNING IN the engine but YOU insisted on following me, it was a 50/50 as to which way to go.

I was driving at the rear of the group taking all the abuse of the farmer if you can all remember that far back, and as you Jarvis had stopped and then insisted on going to the very back of the pack just before Trecastle, perhaps you were having difficulty keeping up with the big boys cars?

 

Let it go Ty.

 

You know the truth old timer.

 

You dont!

 

The clios arnt just fast in the twisties. 'Clio vs spec c'

There is the truth, and then there is the truth according to Jarvis.

 

We're an Evolution Chips remapper, I can squeeze another 10bhp out of the 182 and improve the torque but as other have said, it's tuned quite well by Renault themselves, the biggest gains are to be had by turbo cars.

It's the German made diesels I can get the best results out of, I remapped my mates Fabia VRS last week, that's now running 175bhp and about 270 lb/ft of torque, it's quite impressive
