My dad almost crashed a demonstration tuscan just by changing down from 4th to 3rd! This was in the dry by the way.. The dealer also admitted he wrote one off doing the same thing in his first week of the job....so id fancy my chances in my 1.2 against you Dan!! They also fookin stink when warm...

Hi Paul, You have a great job! Im sure when you get your insurance premium for your clio i reckon youll have your modification ideas on hold though! Any news on the clio cups additional track day goodies? I heard renault are going to be supplying upgrades... -Rob

Good on road, underwhelming on track. I havent driven a evo 6, but an evo 7, not sure what the handling differences are (?)

If it was the one just coming out then yes..a bargain. The current model, more likely a death trap. I think a mk2 v6 cup would be a great idea though..have to wonder if theyd all be competing with each others sales however.

Yeah mine too (though i dont have the 44w system as you guys, same headunit though)..i pass it off as just being a poorly designed system!

You can get a half rollcage in and attach the harnesses to them but that doesnt really matter as i think unless you have money to burn for insurance etc there aint no point. Shame, i agree that the driving position is too ford transit!

yeah lol an oil warmer maybe!

I think its a bit of a pointless comparison as theyre just not a like in any way. Id take an EVO over a scooby, cos they look better, if you can say that an EVO is good looking!

I like the look of them clio fly spoilers..i think the only thing lacking of the 172 is the rear end and the slightly awkward looking round roof..

Your a brave boy getting a cup in the winter! I spoke to a 172 owner who fitted a carbon viper kit with relocation pipe with no problems. If you plan to modify your 172s quite a bit you might as well get a chip anyway..cheap power after all. I think your also brave to risk invalidating your...

Maybe some fat renault mechanic left his lunch in there...probably all decomposed hence squishyness lol

Yeah my dads old aston had them so i presume so. Otherwise something on par with them. Do the steering wheel controls still work with other headunits?? and do the headunits improve volume and clarity? Thing is id have to replace the speakers as well cos the amount of vibration is sh*te...

Mk1s lighter, tad quicker, not noticeable. though really...starting to look a little dated compared to mk2s (sorry!) Ive heard mk2s are more fun to drive.

Why does a better head unit improve things? I spent extra getting the factory version and as far as i know an aftermarket cd headunit (where you put cds in the headunit, not a changer in the boot) is very expensive? Also a flashy headunit promotes nickability!

Ive only ever seen 5 on the road!! 2 were mk1s, i always see a rather nice girl driving her black mk2 to work!

lol unfortunately i dont think its worth bothering with...2 much hassle..damn these hi tech cars!

Ok then i got confused..i have the 44w and the 172 owners have something better..i duno. I think ill just uprate the existing speakers to nakamaichi

More backup! I was in my extreme last night. A ctr owner must of seen the ClioSport sticker and thought i was a 172 so he started revving at the lights. I thought f**k it ill go after him and try and piss him off , but guess what..he stalled! tw@!!!

So basically if i set my car to overfuel it will do the old pops and bangs? Surely adi your clio lets out flames when your not giving some, i.e when you lift off the accelerator?

The wax does work, but there is something bad about it..i just cant remember what it is lol I dont bother myself, i just use halfords wheel cleaner and then the halfords alloy wheel protecter which i apply wtih kitchen roll. Youd only need to do your wheels every fortnight then, if you dont...

I have same spec clio, it produces all its power high up, and being light, it can be suprisingly quick once you get it going. Ive beaten a Pulsar on my favourite B roads, its about commitment and knowing what your car can do, thats how you can exploit it. A good driver can account for 100bhp...

You have to pay insurance for tints? Jesus theyre fookin rippin us off. Is renault insurance actually any good? Im with directline..

ooh i like the spoiler shown in them pics, ave it!

you already have a good kit though !

You could get a nice big shiny radiator so it looks like an intercooler..then youd look like a hard b*****d. I was thinking of removing one of my fogs so i can poke a filter thru instead, what do you all think?

Yeah i agree, but bye bye handling and ride!
