Dropped the rallye off this morning for the interior to get painted. It should be back on Friday evening hopefully.

Have many of clioturbos conversions gone bang? I've not read about any.

It's the same old argument. Tuning vs non tuning brigade. There's something special about picking your car up after a big project and the first drive, About it been quicker than 99% of other clios, about it surprising other drivers and just been mental on a drive. I'm sure there will be...

I'll try get down mate. I'm off work so if the weathers nice I'll be there.

Was definitely today;

Wasn't there a massive meet up their today? Like 300 cars?

Leasing is not buying though. I agree that it's how a lot of people put themselves in new cars these days but they never buy it, they rent it. Renault screwed up the launch of the 200T but it doesn't make the car bad. I've got an open mind until I drive one but on paper I like the sound of one...

I'm not sure I agree with the owners comment. There's not that many St 'owners' on here, more people who have taken the cheap lease deal. Maybe if Renault had offered the Clio at £200 a month there would be as many Clio 200T owners.

200 is a miles better looking car than the fiesta imo. I was hoping that due to its 'flop' status there might have been some cheap 2nd motors about but they seem to be holding their value better than I thought. I guess that's because they sold so few.

Any update on the box?

I went out in this one; Totally stripped, fibreglass bonnet, no door cards, headliner, minimal dash etc and it felt mega. Obviously that's extreme but I felt it made a big difference.

Is it a daily? If not, strip the hell out of it and that'll make it feel rapid.

That gearbox was doing my head in. Clunk click clunk click - neutral, first, clunk click. Nice car for a 12yr old though.

Having owned a itb'd 172, is turbo every time. Unless you're spending vast amounts of cash the gains aren't going to be that impressive. I love bodies, I've got them on my Rallye but I'm running 50bhp over stock and the JP4 engine responds well to them. This doesn't seem to be the case with...

Standard s1 Rallye box pal.

Another year on the road!

Not counting what I got in px exchange or back in private sales, I'd say it's around £165k.

Some nice cars on that list! Here's mine but I think I've missed some. I hate to think of the money I've lost! 1) mk1 polo 2) nova flair 3) nova sr 4) Saxo vtr 5) Clio 172 flame red 6) vx220 7) Clio 182 black gold 8) vectra cdti 9) Clio 1.8 16v 10) Clio 172 Monaco blue 11) Clio 197 cup white...

Do you think it's as a result of the extra power? Is there anything you can do to get a stronger box if that's the case.

If you're refurbing id take it to Stephen brear in Leeds. He did my Rallye box and is very highly regarded.

Looks good.

It is a nice drive but it's a long way for me, especially in the Rallye!

Good lad!

Keighley a freaking nightmare for me to get to bud so I may have to pass this one up I'm afraid.

Sweet.

Yeah, I'm guessing you'll be coming down the m62?

I'll be rolling down Saturday morning.

I think I'm fast approaching 3 months of ownership.

Yeah, it goes alright dude. Certainly good enough for throwing the dog in the back anyway.

It was nice. Sequential box and all that shizzle.
