My mate has an M3 in a very similar colour, Matt finish, he got his rear bumper done after it was hit at a place in Central Scotland who matched it perfectly first time, flawless job, they have just done a full side of my mates m140 after it got keyed too and it's flawless http://www.fozsports.co.uk
Wheel cover off, rs steering wheel insert, rs mats, hid kit, silver badges back on, machine polish, twingo rs 17s, springs. And of course a remap then enjoy
Bit of warning on the van mate they are expensive to tax I can't remember the total as I nearly fainted and done mine by DD so I pay £22 per month.
If I was you find one in the scrappies, remove the rear Interior plastics, half bulkhead and the floor then get the window panels colour coded and...
Big Iain who used to be on here was breaking a pearl black dci on the MK2 Clio owners club on Facebook with colour coded side strips to save you painting the damaged one!
There's a few good engines, 1.5 dci is a peach, 1.2 tce is good and the 1.6 tce in the rs is great, or at least the 220 is!
The 900cc thing is a good wee driver surprisingly refined and doing 50mpg! But slow for me but she likes it. Going to get it mapped in a few months
Yeah it's a strange one mate, this doesn't appear to have been pampered during its life either and it literally doesn't have a single rust spot anywhere!
Not enough, slow as a week in jail. Drives nice, step up from a 1.2 16v, big step down from the mapped 1.5 dci it replaced but it was cheap and does 50mpg!!
Sun came out so a pair of PilotSport4 on the front replacing the 2 worn SuperSports. Feels like an upgrade tbh! Was never too keen on the supersport compaired to the PS4
Fitted my smaller front plate from fancy plates and then gave it and the Mrs new GT TCE90 a scrub!
202hp I remember that an FN2 Type R made 210hp on the same day so id say bang on the money at 190hp ish! im sure it was the R27 as I dont think the 200 lasted long enough to get near a set of rollers!
They take a wee bit of getting used to even coming from an n/a 172 I always thought it loved that last 1000rpm just where the 172 would start to run out of puff.
I can't remember if it was this or my 200 but I had one of them on the rollers at extreme and it made peak power at the limiter!!
I think this is probably my favourite car I owned out of all the rs clios Ive owned, I put a pair of brand new genuine 200 cup front dampers on it not long before I sold it. That transformed the handling. That was the only mod other than the akrapovic that I fitted. It had a panel filter when I...
It's years since I looked into it but I'm sure you needed washers to space the caliper out slightly, and there was a better choice of disc too that I think was slightly bigger than 280mm. Someone fitted them to a 1.6 16v Clio I want to say minivalver but I might be wrong!
I would get a second opinion on the alignment as the rear is fixed with no adjustment so I'd it was out I'm not sure how they "fixed it" and also there is no camber adjustment on the front unless they were messing about with camber bolts etc which I assume a local garage wouldn't.
to be fair to Renault, the dealers are generally very pleasant when your looking to spend £20k+ on a car, I got a free hot chocolate and then a few weeks after taking delivery asked to leave for telling the technician I was driving RS clios when he was still in his dads ballsack because I was...
I believe the dealers are generally very good too which is now very high up on my list when choosing a car. Renault main dealers are f**king terrible and regardless of the franchise owner its all the same, so its Renaults fault.
They are like the little kids in your kids class at school that...
yeah the older stuff is getting hard to find, going up an inch would suit it quite nicely I think without having to worry too much about having to lower the ride height, Daniel from here when he had his white kangoo im sure he got 15/16" steels from a scenic and had them powder coated silver...
the indicator/ rear lights fault usually happens on the mk2 clio when the connectors on the rear lights need a clean out as they are a bit corroded and cause an earthing fault, have a look at that!
EGR valve your right probably worth pulling out and giving it a good clean, will run a lot nicer...
nothing off the shelf as far as im aware, just speak to a custom exhaust place and have something made up. they sound great with a decat and nice exhaust, bit more than £200 though!
it was years ago I made just under 140hp and 150lbft, I didn't change the intercooler on mine but it was holding it back. just downpipe, panel filter and injectors.
definitely worth it they are bomb proof little engines!
rs tuner by fastchip? I had one of his maps on my first TCE too, munched a clutch in about 2000 miles, pointless mapping them on the stock injectors, you get loads of low down torque but then once you get up the revs it tails off as the injectors are maxed, sure mine made 118hp on the stock...
I used RS tuning for mine, I wasn't overly impressed and would be trying EFI if I had another. Mine made great power and was fantastic on full throttle, drivability was poor everywhere else
this might sound silly but you are pressing the brake pedal when trying to use launch control? just when you said when you press the accelerator and it does nothing.
no idea about the driver modes in the throttle map menu as I don't have RS monitor yet, trying to enable it, would help if I...
