I was around owning GT Turbos when you could pick up a half decent one for less than a grand, now they're fetching anything and over 10K. Like the classic minis, everybody hated the clubman square shape but once they'd rinsed out the round front models all of a sudden it became the next big...
Seriously toying with buying an Exclusive 172, I think I'm right in saying it's a bit marmite. The BBS wheels and the cream leather interior seems to provoke a vomit in the mouth reaction for which I actually like. The one in mind needs TLC, I'm seeing this as a long burner project to have it...
Indeed, was built, mapped and driven well over a year without any problems. Untouched stock bottom end and gearbox, it was a FSH Clio but replaced everything while the engine was out. So new clutch and release bearing, cambelt, waterpump, Meg 225 keyway pulley, obvs new belt for the charger...
Did the supercharger conversion in a Petrol Blue 182, was a second hand K Tec kit mapped having an Adaptronic ECU installed by Chris at EFI.... 266hp and 220ft/lbs torque. That's the basics but the full project thread is here, people tend to forget mine as I'm not really prolific on here...
After reading that back about the gearbox what I meant was it was great to use, made better by having the 220 software installed on my old 200 EDC. The 220 paddles are better too, less throw on the click when gear changing.
I'd happily admit the gearbox in the 200 wasn't the greatest but a massive step forward. The Mk4 was a big step in tech coupled with a great chassis, the gearbox takes weeks getting used to not a quick 10 minute blast up and down the road with a salesman on a test drive. They revised the...
They offer a 1.3 160 TCE in the Scenic and Kadjar already, which thinking about it now why it didn't make its way into the Clio RS Line.... There's rumours of 180hp, amongst loads of other rumours of will there won't there be another outright RS model... We will see.
Yep, it's to cover all bases, can be adjusted for either track racing, rallycross and rally stages so it keeps the costs down for race teams and rally teams. The Clio Cup series has moved to the undercard in the GT racing series
It's the genuine RS Performance RS16 body kit, and yes agreed needs Turinis! The original concept Clio RS16 had the Megane 275 19" ones fitted and looked well for it
I bought mine from R Sport here in the UK, they are the sole suppliers of all Renaultsport race parts for all competitions. Renault commissioned Braid to supply the wheels on their rally cars.
Took my Megane 4RS round Blyton at the Cliosport weekender and was comfortably quicker than almost everything Renault related out there. The Clio will be bouncing itself off the limiter trying to look half respectable and failing
I did a road trip to the Monaco and back in 2018 in my old 220 Trophy, it eats the miles easily and in comfort too. I have to say that the Mk4 Clio seats for me are amongst the best I've sat in on super long journeys, more comfortable than my Megane 4RS.
I've owned both a 200 (3 years old at...
