there is a technique, I'll try to explain, I've even had to help a 4*4's in the past, having been stuck behind them on an icy/snowy road. Select 1st (reverse as necessary) and do not touch the accelerator pedal, people have a habit of using the right pedal, no use here.Very gently let the...

never never swap back to front. The tyre footprint will be very different because of the fixed angles. Also as a front wheel drive you need all the grip at the front (Duh, needed to actually bring the car to a stop). If you find your car with it's arse out, you have been far too agresive into...

not too much, just consider it would be cheaper to buy a faster car. I know people will say "insurance". Yet if you tell them what you have done it will be more than the standard faster car anyway. Don't and you have to be evrything that drivers hate. An uninsured one!!!!! Please don't join...

Forgot to say the obvious. They will have taken YOUR reg. No. and put it on theirs. Now explain this to a system that already relies on computers to deal with crime. You will be done or spend money/time/effort proving it's not you. As I understand it our legal system is "innocent until...

Top man FDF, Whilst I say catch the illegals, how about FUN FUN FUN, you don't buy an RS Clio to sit at 70mph at 4 in the morning do you? If anyone feels it will improve security as a whole, you are mistaken. Anyone wanting to be a little naughty(illegal) will have 1) no insurance...

So no one seems to actually know yet again what Xenons are then. Classic "Clios have them" WTF

Ahhhhh, the great diffuser, with a very valid point. Sissors and strighteners at dawn are out the question then. Good on yer' Blaze

DB not an issue for me, I'm just a bu**er that likes to debate. Take care and sorry to make you feel that way. I'm just on a mission at times. Take care you Blaze

Re: b**ch Sorry seems a 50/50 claim. Bu""er!!! Hope it does'nt cost you too much. Blaze

Loads of 172 derivatives had orange repeaters. My last MK2 172 did on a 52 plate. Non import. Blaze

sorry for the spelling issues. Too little time and food to deal with. Blaze

If you like. no I'm not and never have pretendended to be anything other than grown up and realistic. Why you feel it necessary to again question me, when you have been off topic already. This was with a WRC car and daft comments that I had already stated were meaningless. I think you and so...

I had already said don't compare modded cars (surley that means non specialist vehicles that you can and will never be able to compare), let alone your nonesense comment Get some reality Blaze

Neil, who rattled your cage, we are comparing road going cars. Read the post and don't try to be silly. WRC cars DUH!!!!. So what about F1 for accellaration and G forces. Get agripof the post not stupid comparisons Blaze

FMP, why does the "ring" sticker meany anything. Is there something you're not telling us? LOL. Don't forget that's feeble, anyone can drive it. It could be a 7.5 tonne HGV. Public road. So you've been round? Difference to peoples attitude to your car? Explain. Blaze

Who's the muppet that thinks a 230 kompressor is faster than any RS Clio. They have far too much weight and not enough power, I think some of you/friends are too pub talk orientated. Power/weight calculations are the simplest and dare I say most reliable way of giving straight line...

Middo, so right, anyway the insurance companies will look at younguns as potential death givers and will always up the anti. Doesn't matter if it increases performance. Just part of lifes conundrums. Blaze

I know the 182 (cupped I'm interested in)) has know issues (printed for the dealership from this very helpfull site). Mine is booked in tomorrow for 3 of these reasons. I would like to know if there are Renault tech. notes for each, and their reference if known. I know there are fixes for them...

Danlp, youre speedo is well out not a possible speed in your car

It's all about throtle/clutch balance. I have a 182 and no problems whatsoever. The muppet in a Freelander in front was not able to move. Road blocked so I got in his car and it went fine. No cars are so bad they can't be driven, it's the driver not being able to drive IMHO. I can see so many...

The Corsa will not match in any way the RenaultSport Clios. It's already heavier in basic trim and does not do the bends well either. Please people do not compare cars with mods against cars without. Just makes you seem sad and clutching at hope. Who cares what can or can't be done for some...

Largerlout, appreciate some sanity. Just for info the torque curve is far flatter in the MK2, which we all know gives better drivability/punch through the gears. Before anyone comments I have had the lot and driven many others of the same. All cars vary and so my comments are always said...

Well said Lagerlout, MK1 had the worst suspension of all RenaultSport Clios. More roll and softer. The anti roll bars were less stiff than the MK2'S as well.

Well said Tyson, shame you will probably not remeber "2fast4u". Few years ago now, but just as hilarious. Showing my age now, well forum age anyway Blaze

Let's just give the friend a boost without any evidence of ability then shall we???

Sorry just did, my mistake. Forgot the imbicile equations!!!!!!

Why are people actually giving this guy the time of day

Maybe a better way to explain, Loony??. Either way if the light illuminates it's too late to get maximum acceleration/power. The usual experience is the limiter in earlier gears. However, anyone who feels the best is to max it out has lost out anyway. Blaze

No one seems to make any sense nor actually realise the vehicles. The Focus RS has been superceeded by the new Focus ST (and a hell of a lot cheaper given you're car). It's also quicker round a circuit. The V6 will without doubt be quicker still and has been proven. The RS was not ever the car...

gear change light is THE OPTIMUM. Not "ouch" as it's below the rev limiter. If you see it and change you've lost power and acceleration.
