those seats look epic. Nice car too.

Glad your happy with it. I fell in love with my ph1 the first time I drove it, was instant.

The only comment I'll make on this thread is that ph1's look better than ph2's (172 or 182) Close thread.

I'd get the ITB's. The noise is absolutely incredible, plus you keep the engines N/A character.

Would have to be the Vee for me. Truely special car. The R26.R is a special car but in reality its nothing you couldn't do to a standard Meg, were as to put a 3.0 V6 engine in the back of a Clio is just plain amazing.

You know it! Insurance have been kind too so i'm on the hunt for one now. MK1 ,of course, with coilies and deep dish alloys in the summer. You will love it.

My point exactly, its what you pay for.

The Cup used the same ratios as any ph2 1*2. It was only the ph1 172 which has ever so slightly longer ratios.

The way i'd run it in is warm it up fully, then change up when it goes babababababab then repeat for the next gear. Fact of the matter is they usually make more power when run in hard plus your going to throw it back at Renault after 2 years anyway so you'll always have warranty.

Lucky escape with the engine there. Glad it turned out like it did for you.

Yeah, followed usually by a crunch. The drivetrain on Clio's leaves much to be desired. The clutch on both my 1.2 and 172 were really heavy compared to similar hatches.

Who did the belts out of interest? Specialist?

I've seen a 182 in Magaluf. Covered in battle scars, was a right shed. That was over 2 years ago too so god knows what its like now!

Just get a ph1 172 or espace v6 airbox and run it without the air feeds. Gives you plenty of noise and gives gains over a standard airbox, hence why JMS sell the kit.

Love the title Riad! Pics are pretty much spot on too. Hero brakes on the touring.

Not worth it however i'd love to see an ITB'd 1.2. Probably only make like 90 odd bhp but would sound good at least.

Took the words out of my mouth. Giving RST or Ktec £4K and them doing it for you isn't building a car. Doing it yourself however is.

The ph1 is my favourite RS Clio, hence why I used to own one. The only thing that would put me off going back is the age of them. They aren't getting any younger and they also aren't really getting much cheaper now so its not like you can pick one up really cheap and spend money getting it mint...

Good to hear mate. I'd love a SC 1*2.

I think that is 100% spot on. I'd personally say the least desirable is the ph2 172 however stick it on turini's and a good set of coilovers and you've got a much more capable car than a cupped 182 and it no longer looks like a dynamique because it has some good wheels on it. Performance wise it...

Good to see you did well at not modding it ;) Looks in great condition. I bet it sounds incredible with that IK.

Its lovely. Whats it like to drive compared to the cup?

I can understand what your saying, you're not running a free car experience day. However if you were trying to decide between say a M3, RS4 or C63 AMG you'd want to drive them all before deciding, its a decision making process that most people do to find out whether they like a car or not.

I've seen one on the A6 near salford uni too. He must have got to about 7K in 1st pulling out of a junction. Sounded mint.

very common problem mate. Polybushing the dogbone mount and making sure the other engine mounts are in good condition should get rid of it.

It will have more than 187 bhp if it goes in the RS Clio. They're not going to call it the RS 187 are they, the numbers have to go up for marketing purposes. I'd like to see it weighing around 1000kgs with 187bhp, that would be fun. I'd prefare it if they kept the 2.0 N/A but the EU says no.

Insurance seems to have gone up loads the last year. I paid £1300 tpft on my 172 last year. I haven't done another quote but they wanted £990 for a 1.8 Mazda 323 :/ tpft.

Its lovely mate. Love it.
