Hi Guys just back into the clio mode with a clio williams 3 purchase, Im in surrey and looking for some pro clio williams garage repairs. Can anyone recommend someone or over buying someone a lunch could they look over mine and offer a list of must do's etc? Thanks in advance Tom

007 was it a manual or e-gear??? ....also strange to say the best sound has to be starting the thing...with the high pitched whistle of the starter motor followed by the low noise of a v10 springing into life..... oh im off to the bog.

ahhh but on the subject of RS4 - the new one is a honey!! 420 bhp, and 0-120 in just over 11 secs!!!!!! also they have sorted out the dreaded audi 4x4 which use to be all on the front wheels......bad idea. But now its rear biased yipeeeee..... and yes the current S4 is a bore, its fast...

sti ppp, why didnt you buy an evo 8???? Driven both and the Evo is far more rewarding. ok its a little more expensive to run!!! drove the STI PPP and you find yourself changing gear all the time as the power band is soo small. handling was odd, the turnin and steering response was a bit...

i have to say having owned both the RS focus is far better as a car, handling, power, turn-in, sound...etc if only the RS didnt drink like a fish it would be terrific! the clio is value for money and on a circuit the clio cup was more fun the RS at some dry circuits was a bore. It stuck to...

ive sent you a pm about the car. where are you in the UK?

11.5 thats good did you go for the recaro seat option? has anyone seen pictures of these seats? question why doesnt anyone go to broadspeed for a cup at £10,770?? otr

Ok ive looked into this....and i can get a 182 cup new for £10,800 from http://www.Broadspeed.comwww.Broadspeed.com and £12,300 from a dealer. London west. Why bother having a list price of £13,800?????? Anyone else found this? The renault sales man was french and really tried to justify...

Nah the megane is truely awful as a fast hatch, its suffers from understeer, very odd steering, and a funny shape (imo). Pls try a second hand RS focus its along the same lines as the clio, with better turnin, grip, handling, and power. If the Vx gets written off I may go for the RS...

PXed the Clio cup for a VX 220 turbo, wow what a car. Got 7.5k for mine with 32k on the clock on a 53. Its the same car that appeared in Clarksons shootout video, which it also one!!! But i didnt find this out until after confirming the deal dohh Keep finding clumps of curly...

when u say a little torque steer, was that in a straight line? i do think that the clio will not be able to handle such power, the cup is on its boarder now. Too much may kill the handling, why cant people just tune it to 220 or 210. Thats more than enough and probably on a tight...

The very nice people at Elite tyres in Nam, (thats Dagenham) 8 tyres, proxy p1s 4 - 195/45/16 and 4- 195/50/15 total cost £310. bargin and a very good tyre.

ive driven the 225 before and its pretty sh*te. It understeers badly. So no real opposition.

Friday was very good, nice and dry...good conditions. It involved taking my own car then having access to the 182 and a proper clio cup racer. First things first comparing a 172 clio cup to a 182 cup on track:- Ive had many many cars and have done many many track days (making a point...
