just because their in business doesnt mean anything, nor does driver feedback. only way of working out for sure is wind tunnel research. just because they have a lot of money and a time attack team, doesnt mean they have the first clue about fluid dynamics!! lets face it, if it DID work, then...

this will only happen if the cat is very very hot, and even then the amount of fuel potentially dumped into the exhaust will be incredibly minimal. long term misfires will obviously destroy cats, but i dont think occasionally bump starting will do any harm what so ever.

why would fuel entering the cat explode??

obviously nobody can really comment on exactly what is happening from an aerodynamic point of view, but surely this is going to add a hell of a lot of drag and will make the air hitting the rear spoiler a lot more turbulent based on the bernoullis theorem. it will obviously increase front end...

next thing i would try personally, would be to unplug both the light clusters and test, if it stops then it implies theres a short in the light cluster plug, narrow it down to which one and replace. i say this because there is a very common problem with the clios that the rear light cluster...

your op says the clocks counting down in seconds, video shows it counting up?! have you tried holding down the hour button and see if they count up at the same speed? if so, the button is stuck on internally and it needs a new unit.

wait till it plays up again. open the bonnet, wiggle the small wire going onto the start motor, and try to start it again. my mates 172 did this constantly when he first got it, i think in the end we took the connecter out and cleaned it all up. Its been fine ever since

if theyre eibach then most likely 35mm-40mm. iirc theyre the most common springs they do for the clio, however springs NEVER lower what they do on the box so tbh, you might as well stop caring exactly how much it is lowered by!! OR you could just measure the height from the arch to the floor...

new interior loom, clocks and indicator stalk!! could fix it yourself for under £100. however it wont be the easiest job in the world!! the entire dash would have to come out!! sucks to hear that this kind of thing happens tbh, the fuses should stop anything getting to dangerous points!!

clio bore is 52.1 isnt it??

got some good parts on it, but no where near enough to justify such a price tag!! plus i cant really see what the rear boot springs are trying to achieve!

personally id say, Ph1 clio 172 - £700 Brembo HC/Braided lines/DS2500/good fluid - £250 (ish) Pollybush dogbone mount - £50 strip it out - Free youll have a fun track toy for about £1000.
