If you're a scene kid who likes to look performance because you can't afford the insurance yet for a 2.0l and ^ then sorting a car out properly and making it sound and look excellent is not a bad thing nor is it a bad idea.

As mentioned previously, you can get a mapper to sort that out for you but you'll need to remove your cat (as it will kill it anyway) and get a stainless steel system. Just be aware that you'll suck much more petrol up by doing this and there is a hefty fee for turning back if you don't like it.

Thank you for being the only one to contribute something decent to these threads. Everyone is different, everyone likes different things. I happen to think the 1.4 Clio's are rather nippy.

I'm considering buying a cheap 1.2 to use as a run around that I can get insurance for. I've a feeling driving the 200 back and forth uni every day is going to seriously dent my wallet.

Re: Newbie From Coventry! How old are you bro? I'm 20 and have a Clio 200. It's blackboxed but only as a bonus accelerator. There is no downside to having it blackboxed. It was the only insurance company that would take me even with a crash on my name and I pay £1500.

Why would you want to have stretched tyres? Surely tyres too big are more of a benefit so you don't smash your alloys up.

It was a KTEC map that I had on the car and I was warned multiple times by the people on here not to use them. Shame it took a half blown engine for me to realise how w**k they are at mapping TCE's. Emblem, I had 172/182 Injectors in the car, yes; they are something you should go for 100%...

Just letting you know that changing the valve will do nothing. The power drops off because the turbo is so small. Mine used to hit limp mode at 4.5K RPM because it would run out of air and misfire. Not a good car to modify to be honest. I have a K03s for sale that you can have which I was going...

Very good point. How do you not notice a chunk of your BHP missing?

£900? Lmao, good job. That's banger rates.

You should have a vacuum line from your intake manifold to your dump valve or atmos valve, I believe you can t in to that? If yours is mapped you should be hitting 14-18psi on full throttle depending on the gear. Not sure about standard. They are teeny turbos.

I had my Gordini for 12k with 11k miles on the clock. Pretty much new.

The noise is produced somewhat from heat so the hotter the exhaust the better or more different it will sound.

Get rid of stickers, PLEASE. Side Skirts are.. okay... Rest of car would be okay if it was treated well.

So you're saying you'll get a slight neck snap in the new Fiesta ST but the Clio's smooth torque curve will make it feel slower but will be exactly on par?

If it's turbo charged then no, they have a ton more FT-LB.

http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/renault_clio_gordini Wondering how 'Limited' edition they are. Rather than the "Limited" edition Corsa.

You have a clio at 172k miles? Holy f***.

All I found was a £25 extra charge. Over 9 months.

Insurance for a TCE is practically the same as the 1.2 as the engine capacity is exactly the same and 'boy racers' don't tend to buy them.

I had a Clio TCE with 172/182 Injectors, Panel Filter, Cat Back, Platinum Spark Plugs etc. It made 120 (130 on KTEC dyno) and eventually broke past 4.5K RPM. Don't get me wrong, it kicked lovely at 2.5K RPM but after that - total s**t. Stay away from KTEC. It took me an experience to believe...

Yeah slightly. You get a puff if you rev it but only ridiculously low down. If you had a TCE you can hear the turbo spool.

pls explain. pls.

Well it's like it for most cars to be fair. Any messing about will probably reduce power until you map it.

Just be aware that anything you do to the Clio will worsen it until you get it remapped. You'll end up with the infamous flat spot if you mess about with the exhaust.

Yep, like a thump now and then from the middle end of the exhaust. Totally normal. I get no pops when changing gear though.

Anyone? Looking to have the car dynoed relatively soon.

Used Pipercross on my old TCE. Genuinely could feel improvement at the top of the rev range as stupid as it sounds. I've got another coming for my 200.

Not far from me and that does look the part!
