There is no such thing - its just a dream at the moment.

Its a Mk1. The engine makes 110bhp, which is pretty good - the same as todays 1.6 16v.

Sounds exactly like the debate I had with myself before I bought mine. Do it mate, you wont be disappointed. Just be prepared to do a few trackdays before you can get the best out of it. Ive done 6 or 7 now, and Im getting the hang of the thing, but the first few were difficult, particularly in...

Nooooo. More bad luck, sorry to see that Mark :cry:

Not a chance - that would put it the same price (or more) than a Megane RS. Renault are not competing with the Golf with the Clio - its a completely different market sector. £15k max, probably a little less.

Itll change quite a bit. Expect cost to be about the same as a 182.

had 156 on the GPS, (over 165 on the speedo). Anything after 145 takes ages.

better depends on your preference for how the tyre behaves.. I loved the Contis but a lot of people seem to hate them. Goodyear F1s are better than either of the ones you mention, but a lot more £££££

talk to 53billabong, his looks fantastic.. http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=16&TopicID=176115&PagePosition=1http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=16&TopicID=176115&PagePosition=1

^^ :confused: another tw*t

^^ It will fit - Freds putting one in his Clio.

Dont Renault have a concept sports car (think they showed it at Geneva) waiting in the wings?

Bound to mate. Its going to get a lot worse than this too. Sooner or later somebody will actually buy one that we can have a proper look at! Im pinning my hopes on next summers Renaultsport trackdays for a first drive :D Anyway were there rumours of a tin-top cabriolet a while back?

who the hell needs 4 seats anyway? 2 is plenty! Geoffs right - itll have 5 seats when it goes into production.

^^ serves you right for attacking that steak in front of me earlier :D

these are nice - kosei wheels + lowered 40mm. http://www.cliosport.net/gallery/others/2211-3.jpg

^^ me too, saves a fortune.

Nice one, you wont regret it :D Get some pics up!

*waves*

What happened to my other quote then.....? *goes to find it* "I had expected to be a lot faster than Lee, but to find myself obliterating the Trophy so comprehensively left me speechless" :D I guess there wasnt room for it ;)

where did you buy it? I never had a moments problem with mine, fitted by Demon Tweeks.

^^ top comment, which bears out the marketing strategy and product positioning once again. Were comparing a 13k supermini to Jap stuff thats massively more expensive here.

For the money the Trophy is pretty good. Sure itll depreciate, but there wont be another Renaultsport Clio for a year or more, so it should at least hold its value for a while. A VXT would murder it round a track, but like you say, you get to drive it every day and at least you can carry...

If you want all the toys, get a 182 with whatever options you want. But if you want the best drive currently available from a front-wheel-drive car, get a Trophy. If you dont do trackdays the Trophy probably isnt worth it, but if you do, then get one.

Turning circle is a bigger problem than ground clearance to be honest. It sometimes takes a few goes but you get there in the end.

to repeat the question... is it just Mk1s that have this problem?

^^^ Spa has lots of bends but a Vee will obliterate a 182 round there... *keeps the thread alive for Dave ;-)*

yup, the Cup will get obliterated.

Quote: Originally posted by omar on 07 August 2005 I think a V6 vs 182 day would be good fun, if we could arrange it somehow.ClarkieV6 - Do you think you could do something ? Thinking about it, weve already done this at Spa last year.
