DK86 Posted 25, May 2008 Report Share Posted 25, May 2008 Heya everyone...just intro'ing myself~ recently got my account activated, thanks so very much to walkie86...lol, i was youtubing, and ended up commenting about his exhaust, and he helped me activate my account on this forum~!!! just a little about myself, i drive a clio 172 (blueish tinged silver? lol, srzly dunno what colour to describe it as). up until about a month ago i was driving a really heavily modded 1999 shaped subaru wrx, which was sadly totalled on military road, sydney on the way back from uni from a very annoying accident. aami thought it was in their interest to pay me a sum of money (obviously not enough to cover the mods, but i was later told i was very lucky i was even covered) instead of repair my car... anyhow, yeah...so far, i'm very happy with the way the clio drives, especially for a naturally aspirated engine, very agile, and handles well...obviously not as fast outright in a straight line as the wrx, but i'd say it's a lot quicker than the wrx before the wrx hits boost haha... ...anyone attend unsw? i'm in my last year of uni this year, studying aviation ...anywayz, it's awesome seeing so many dedicated people proud to drive clios ...cya guys around~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DK86 Posted 25, May 2008 Author Report Share Posted 25, May 2008 thanks...awesome amount of information on these forums... anyhow, i came across a forum where someone commented "Alex u must collect induction systems first an Apollo then BMC and now this" ...lol, so...what are the pros/cons so far of each of them? which one's ur pick? (i'm assuming the maxogen, since ur name says it:P) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racingroo_new Posted 25, May 2008 Report Share Posted 25, May 2008 .obviously not as fast outright in a straight line as the wrx, but i'd say it's a lot quicker than the wrx before the wrx hits boost haha... Unless the wrx does a 6000 rpm clutch dump, there is nothing in it to 100kph Welcome from a fellow 172 driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
