If ur lucky enough to have an imported car that was produced before 1997, you can have the smaller lettering on the front plates ( half-sized plates ) ... buuuuuuut, my evo hasn't arrived yet.... :P -Akira

My Mk.I doesnt look as cheap and battered (rusty :P ) as I thought it would look against all the Mk.IIs.... ahhh, Good job it was night-time, eh? ;) -Akira

This game is great, loving the combat! I'm running it on my AMD3400+, 2GB RAM & 7800GTX, not the world's greatest system, but it can run it mostly on high, and still get 40-50fps around the main of the game. I like it, very immersive -Akira

lol... I tried that, and I was greeted by about 2" of muck, brake dust, dead snails, and rust ^_^ Ahem.... so *thats* why I'm supposed to clean ALL of the car, not just the places we see.... ooops! Sorry for asking lame questions, but no1 ripped the p155 out of me, and you all helped...

Managed to get this pic of mine; not amazing, but best I could find; Looks TOTALLY different to yours... so I'm guessing I have Bendix... agreed? -Akira

I think we can settle this by agreeing my 1.4 RT is ssssslllllloooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww! -Akira Argh...so annoying people calling Valvers slow... and im stuck in a 1.4..! :'( *goes off crying!*

That rocks man!!! I have an airfield in my village(in the midlands), and me and my mates have always pondered renting it (£90 for the day or something) it looks of similar size and I think you've just convinced us!!!! :D Top video! I loved the V6 at the hairpin... was that full-lock...

I have a K&N 57i kit on my phase 3 1.4 RT, it knocked 3 seconds off my 30mph-80mph time (conducted on private roads...obviously! :O ) im not gonna name the actual before and after times, because they're too embarassing.... damn 4th gear sucks in the clio :p Tests were conducted with same fuel...

Cheers, now anyone with Bendix callipers? ( this'd be easier if they just wrote on the back 'mady by ______' ... ) -Akira

Please pretty please with a giant cherry on top? :) -Akira

Ok, me being the least mechanical honcho in the world.... I was wondering if someone could hook me up with some pics of Bendix / girling callipers so I can play spot the difference? I know one has a hole in the calliper or something... Hmm... any help appreciated. I'll settle for MS...

just a question about how much petrol affects ur emissions when it comes to MOTs... Certain petrols brag about higher performance, and others about being cleaner...and others both. Question is, which petrol would be the most MOT-friendly, and does it even make that much of a difference...

I guess this doesnt make a difference on crappy mother shopping cars? (in other words... my 1997 1.4RT) :P you rich gits! -Akira

Thing about the K&N.... u can do 5,000rpm...and if ur foot isnt flat to the floor, it wont make a sound.... but... u can do 2,000-6,000rpm and if ur foot is flat then it GRUNTS.... its great... means u can do motorway speeds (ahem!) without an annoying humming that u'd get with a huuuuge...

WoW! Remedi that is a clean machine!!!! :D Hmm... you make me wanna clean mine! How long does the engine bay stay clean for if ya give it a good clean then? Jaybee RT; Yea man, it's the K57i kit! My clio had the three bolts in the stock airbox (although my car is supposed to have 2...

i'm tempted by the dual-cold-air-feed idea. However... I like my driver's side fog light. On the clio, when i put full-beam on... the dipped ones obviously turn off... and I cant see anythin' closer than 10meters... lol. How about running a hose FROM the manifold-cover, down to below the...

Roooh, ur engine bay is 100x cleaner than mine! I'm jealous :p Never been cleaned...prolly never will... ^_^ Anyone found anything funky to do with the lower exhaust manifold? Remove the cover? Change the cover? Feed the air from the cover somewhere? -Akira

Last time I phone norwich union to declare mods the guy didnt even understand what I was saying... that was 6months ago or so, and an Indian call centre, is it still there? and have they learnt their bumpers from their brakes yet? -Akira

LoL, the "Y"s are just instead of slapping white over the plate... it's just me being random. Len Beach; ahhh, I see... so... it'll start fine, but then randomly start misfiring or? just wont start? Any tips on how to prevent? Rev it a lil' when started? or will that just damage it? ( not...

P.P.S: Yes...before anyone says... I know my car looks like a tractor :D lol, its a work in progress!!!!!!! :P -Akira

Well, I finally sorted out my cold air feed on my humble Mk.I ph3. Ok, so it's kinda not the neatest thing ever, but... well, it's probably more sturdy and durable than the rest of the renault standard stuff :P I had a broken fog-light on the passenger side anyway, so I took off the glass...

Hmmm... that actually sounds like a plan... :D my 1.4 will scare them poo-less -_- -Akira

Anyone interested in a mini-meet then? I know theres a forum for discussing meets, but I didnt realise there were so many of us in / around the small town of stafford :] I just wanna stare at some decent clios and get inspired :) -Akira

I'm currently at Staffordshire uni Stafford campus... Running around a 1.4 RT with tractor suspension. If you yell "ClioSport" I'll try pull over, so you can show me what a clio with a decent engine is like :( ( Note: wheels sometimes appear black :P dont be mistakken, just me being lazy )...

*checks bank balance...* Will post pics once lowered! Where did we all get our suspension from then? Make sure im not missing any bargains before I order off larkspeed or motorsportworld... -Akira

How does it handle being lower at the back than the front? Aren't you taking a lot of weight off the front wheels? Do you get a bunch of wheel spin? or is it relatively insignificant due to how little of the clio's weight is at the back of the car? Anyhoo, this is all being very educational...

ur slammed by 60mm patty? What about speed "pillows" I hate those things so friggin' much... do ya get some scrapin' of ya drapin'? ( I had a bad experience in the past with a clio-dangling mid-box :P the sound going over speed pillows.... I still hear the scraping at night... :( ) -Akira

Oooh, okay.... now... second problem... Where to buy? Larskpeed stock Koni, GMAX and Apex suspension. From what I hear though, SPAX kits are the best for value for money decent-lowering. (their non-adjustable dampers & spring kits) so, anyone have a headsup on the best place to buy...

Thanks JonnyK! lowering it is then! :) -Akira

Minted! :) Thanks for that Pattsy, anyone with an RT who can contribute? (Damn you valvers with ur wide arches... *cries* ) -Akira
