This thread never seizes to amaze me! Lovin the updates

I had the 225 stripped out with 4 points and thought that was a decent car, so I can imagine that the R takes it to awesome levels. Always liked them, a good investment. I can't imagine you'd lose money on it.

Yeah, I'm sure someone can photoshop the van with different alloys

It's definitely to my taste, love the look. You know when you just can't quite put yer finger on something. I think maybe because the tyres and wheel is black.... Then with the surrounding arches in black, it all moulds into one look. I bet if it had white alloys or silver steels it would change...

This, rocking up to the Surrey RR day

Having a lowered Megane makes a world of difference. I put my R26R wheels on when it was the std ride hide and it looked awful, BC coilovers later..... Awesome.

It looks good, IMO ride height is on the verge of looking 'broken'. Maybe if it had alloys it might be a different case, I don't know. Maybe if it was a tad higher on the rear or something.

I imagine the owner after me scrapped it

Aah cool, any help is appreciated

Is he a Renault tech?

No I'm not

I did mention that, they seemed unsure on the Clio. All they said was they fit certain looms for the Monitor and as mine doesn't have it, it wasn't ordered from new and might not have the loom and connectors to make it work.

I've booked the 200 EDC in at Renault to have the gearbox software upgraded and also to see if the technician can retrofit the RS Monitor, they need to see if the loom is compatible.

Cool, a mate of mine fitted R1 carbs to his. Been following the updates and the Volvo's looking so good

Probably mentioned elsewhere... Motorbike carbs?

Awesome!! C1J engine, good for 180hp reliable with the right bits. A mate shared the link today, looks great

Strange, thats what it was on J 146 SPH

I sold it to a work colleagues son, maybe someone can run the vehicle reg somewhere to see if it's still on the road. I remember the first ones on turbines and the later ones on the 5 spokes with some in full leather. Would love to own a std early one on turbines

Yeah I do, was a quick car back in the day. Sounded great with the induction kit. Loved driving it, not many cars back then had 17s which I think with Venoms of the time looked pretty good. A few years after I owned the sister car the 19 16V

Was digging through a load of old photographs this morning and came across these 2. I joined Cliosport first time round back in 2000, this was my first ever Renault Clio. Lowered, 17" TSW Venoms, stainless cat back exhaust, big induction kit straight off the throttle body. Used to attend the...

It's making for great info and conversation so I'm hoping that the both of you aren't taking any of my comments the wrong way. Cheapest Adaptronic is £630 which I mentioned above. Agreed, buying an off the shelf turbo kit is the best and cheapest way. Collating parts second hand and new then...

No but depending on requirements you can have a custom loom made with the OE ECU binned off and run everything through the Adaptronic.... Or Omex, or DTA. The point is, and the beauty of this case with the Clio is it doesn't have to be done, the ECU is just needed as you're running boost. So...

As Adaptronic is standalone it can be mapped by anyone, I believe it's the closest place for the OP to have it done.

Right in every way, colour, the fact the 200 has really grown on me, the engine spec.... Perfect. If I wasn't PCP'd this would have been the route I would have gone.

I think it's just the thicker head gasket that's the only difference as far as I can read (Megane 225) would it be that much lower with just the gasket?

Haha cool, I only mentioned it as my supercharged Clio was down on power. Went back to basics and found out the timing was out so I had Alex sort it amongst others. Made a big difference when I had the map tweaked, much better torque low down and more power.

I take it the timing is OK, compression check?

Hanningfield or North Weald, both good locations, and imagine the breakfast at Hanningfield to be half decent.

£200 difference, admittedly to some that's a lot of money but to be fair what you can do with the Adaptronic as an ECU. I can't sell it it to its full potential but the beauty of it is adding to it in so many ways. ED are about an hour away, EFI did the whole lot in the supercharged Clio as it...

The cheapest Adaptronic from EFI Parts is about £630 then it needs wiring into the loom and the car mapped. I paid about £1100 for everything above as it came as a complete drive in drive out package price when I supercharged my 182 Clio. It's an expensive outlay but what you get back is a...
