A friend of mine is doing something similar through Protoxide here in Italy. 200 bhp: http://www.protoxide.it/preparazioni/twingotce.htm http://youtu.be/e9BoI9VCtOU

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news Single piston brakes were ok on 1 ton cars (Valver, Williams, RS till 2005) with less than 180 hp, but on 1.200-1250 kg cars with 18"-19" wheels and 200+ hp you need bigger brakes. That's why Megane RS and Clio RS switched to 4 pots Brembos... The thing is a...

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news I was waiting for someone to spot them... It's also a bit shorter and lowered.

I'm already going for an aftermarket...twin black chrome tips, the same exhaust fits the GT/Gordini so the position will be the same. I went for the black chrome as the car is white: They are 90mm slash cut... This is how they look in chrome on the GT/Gordini What do you think? No centre...

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news The Polo GTI and A1 1.4 TFSI are available only with the DSG gearbox. Renault is pointing directly at the Polo with this (The polo happens to be one of the few hot hatches that looks good in 5 door shape...the Fiesta is even better but I wouldn't call the 1.6...

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news The things I really liked of the 197 were: Brembos Bulging wheel arches that made the car looks totally different from cooking clios. Diffuser with slash cut exhaust exits Recaros 3 doors What I didn't like: Not much torque Weight over 1200kgs Steering wheel...

Hi guys, I was wondering what you usually reccomend for these cars? I used to own a 172 with a full exhaust system, the TCE I drive now sounds like a vacuum cleaner... Next week it'll get a catback exhaust and I was looking for some videos to compare them to my new one. The 1.6 GT/Gordini have...

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news Today I did this:

I tried the washers: no results I fitted the new style top mounts: same Then I fitted a refurbished steering rack, and finally I solved the problem.

Mmm I don't want to risk too much but coming from a 172 it's really slow so I'd like at least 130 real hp..now it seems to have like 110-120. I hope to test it on our dyno soon.

That's a lot! It's probably the reason why you can get better torque value at low-medium rpm but you can't increase the top end power and top speed...

Which ones?

I think I'll have a full exhaust with downpipe and sports cat for free (as a development car), so basically I'll need an update of the ECU, I'll have that for 100-200 quid. I'll get a foam filter at the next service interval. Is it worth to fit a dump valve? Are the injectors an issue?

I just bough a TCE, it's been chipped by the previous owner (by Ferraris, a well known tuner in Italy)...it seems a bit stronger than an other TCE I tested and it's on par with a Twingo with the same engine, but it's still a bit low for my taste... I got almost 190 kph in Germany, but after 170...
