Where they tend to rust, that's the bit that's removed for the one ball. Mine cost £80. I'm not too far from Isleworth if you fancy a look at it. Bar the springs I've got all the same mods you're planning.

Sparco wheels?

@wozza182 have you thought about getting the one ball exhaust mod done? I'm really happy with it, makes the exhaust a tiny fraction louder, but increases the pops.

It's your car, so completely up to you. But have a read up on minitorque. All info I've read echoes what Neil said, springs muller the ride quality.

Don't agree with that. Having something that can be sedate on the commute, but even more focused when needed is a great solution if its implemented well.

Dave.f kits aren't available anymore I think. I found a jcw one cheap and fitted that, same basic idea. There's a diy guide on minitorque. If you're going for an intercooler, the gp one is the best to go for (but ££), grs motorsport the next best.

If they'd given it a good gearbox, I think most people would find it much easier to get on with. It's a real shame, as I've had every rs clio since the ph1 172, but after driving a 200t knew that what made all those older cars feel special for drivers had mostly gone. One of the RS head guys...

Renault interiors have always been crap. We bought them in spite of it. Because they were great drives. The meg shows they've still got that in them. Hopefully the next rs clio is a proper one. Manual box option, with a decent dct alternative. 4 wheel steering etc. If they get the gearbox...

I don't mean to be a c**t (seems to come naturally;) ) but I can't pay any attention to someone that uses "I only drive in auto mode" in defence of a performance car.

They're really good cars. Interior shames Renault. Still a wider perception that they're s**t, which given the warranty and looks /build I don't understand.

The pro is a good warm hatch. But it doesn't respond like a hot hatch, and it's not really quick enough. And it's from the class above size wise?

I personally would prefer a manual. But dct wouldn't put me off, as long as it was a good box. Problem Renault have imo, is that they've alienated people that want manual, and hobbled it with a crap dct. I know owners bleat on about it being fine, but a guy with an ugly wife will never admit...

Renaultsport technical md interview coming up in evo this month. Some interesting stuff. Seems to confirm the next clio rs will have a manual option, some of the defects they are aware of in the 200 still not addressed in the 220, and that they were wrong in market expectations regarding dct...

If the phone is in a fixed holder it's not a traffic offence afaik.

Renault are dreadful in this respect. I wouldn't buy new from them again, ever.

What's a baber?

It's a clio, can see the paddles.

Indian styleeeeeee.

They really botched the looks. Seats look superb.

I bought mine standard, and on lower miles (60k), paid just over 4k. Personally think yours is priced well. Like any modified one it's just a question of the right buyer.

Iirc a GPS based track designer was mentioned, I'm guessing the idea of folks trying to match their time in the game on real roads put paid to that idea. Shame, as having some Welsh roads would be brilliant.

Bar the springs, same spec as mine. Love mine, glwts.

I'll be having a go at that this weekend.

The shell app has been crap in my experience. Works 50% of the time, and when it doesn't work locks the pump, meaning you have to go into the station so they can release it. Genuinely useful when it does work.

Too much grip is definitely a bad thing. But currently there aren't any tyres that offer low lateral grip without sacrificing response afaik. And it's not just grip, it's the balance between power, response and grip imo.

Not saying they're bad cars, far from it. But it could of been a game changer. The comparison to the 200 is interesting. On paper they'd be close, but in reality tips struggle to hold onto one on a decent Road, because of the prius spec rubber. And I (personally) find you don't get the benefit...

Been using it for nearly a year using the ee app on android. It's more convenient when I'm grabbing lunch or using the tube, because my phone is normally already out. It's just a little more convenient, but I don't think I'd miss it if I didn't have it.

The problem is the lack of torque. To get the benefit of rwd, you need more power. Or crappy tyres. The problem with crappy tyres is that yes, it will oversteer. But the tyres are shitty, they don't respond on turn in or braking like a performance tyre should. I've driven one on decent rubber...

Lovely looking combo. I've got all the software setup on my laptop, done a few things on the bini with ncs.

Man maths says lsd.
