15w50 is far from useless. The correct oil grade to use is totally dependant on average ambient temps and peak engine oil temps you encounter. In current summer weather a 15w50 is mroe than thin enough not to cause any wear issues, it can also...

It would be nice yes, i can get sadev boxes aswell, but as about 6k a pop and the maintanence issues really put it out of daily running possibilities. Not many people on here go very far with engine mods, yet alone mess with a straight cut...

XXW50 oils make your engine loose a little power from the oil pump because of a too high viscosity, that is what an oil engineer told me.
5W40 is perfect.
I use graphited engine oil + ceramic based oil addtitive in my MK2 Punto GT (133), I can hang on a 160hp Punto GT (1.7bar of boost...

What sort of price range are you talking?
Under £3000 if I can get one.
Public cost in France is above £4000.
£4000 is the price for the Spider Trophy gearbox ( the Renault Spider uses Clio Williams gearbox and engine), the Clio "Cup"...
To get 200hp on a Clio 172, you will need to modify: air intake + ECU + camshafts + exhaust (full modified exhaust line).
To go over 200hp naturally aspirated is expensive on the Clio Sport.
A French well known car tuner, Pouchelon, based in the south of France will son tune the 182hp...

To come back a little more to the thread (my apologies for being sometimes a little out of subject) , a guy of the RS Team has a 227hp Clio Sport (called Clio RS in France) , he wastes S2000s on tracks (ouf course) and also on straight lines , as well as 330is.

Well , it is a bit more complicated than that.
At the end of 1993 , Jochen Dauer did his 962 , inspired by the 962C .It was a 100% road car.
In 1994 , when Porsche realise there was a failure in the ACO rules , they engaged the car as Dauer-Porsche 962C , both car finished with a great 1-2...

This time the Clio V6 will be a track killer , at last.
New version of the 6 speed gearbox , better chassis and suspension settings... :D
I can not wait to see its lap time on the nurburgring north , and see matches against the Golf R32 (:sick:) and the 147 GTA.
They will cry when they will realise how fast the new one going to be.
Would to mind to email me if the turbo Clio Sport project moves forward ?
I would like to post news in the French forums , some people wanted to turbocharge their Clio Sport.
Thanks in advance.
