I fully agree with this for road use. The handling and brakes of the clio can take a low boost power setup without significant upgrades needed IMO.

I wouldn't run a Helix for 250bhp on a supercharger. I'm running 250 and have absolutely no need for one, so don't have one. I recognise a turbo is slightly different power delivery, so I'd trust the turbo guys recommendations on needing helix on their side. A diff on these, especially for...

So, my two pence is; - think long and hard before you do it. Boosting / iTBs a clio for me is pretty much a long term commitment to the car. You won't sell it for what it cost you, and breaking it can be a ball ache. Compared to the cost of the car, it is a significant outlay so you need to be...

I'll put up a response a bit later, as I'm a bit hectic at work at the mo. But I will reply.... :)

Before I give some advice bud, what is the car mainly used for? Daily and nice drives at the weekend, or track focused / stripped out rattler?

That is true. I have had the gripper for about 2 years, and it's been out once for a replate. I have had the RC kit for 3 months. I've not had any problems with the shafts, or the gripper, and no juddering.... Something isn't right here. Will it do it on the road? If so, welcome at mine on...

Can't wait to see this up and running. Good work. Obama, Obama, OBAMA.

Looks great. Enjoy!

Criticism? It is lovely. Anyone who can't see that is a dork.

I have 250bhp and 220 lb ft from my supercharger setup, with a gripper diff, and it felt like the perfect balance of more power / same delivery / good traction at Anglesey last week. In the wet, and dry. But then I would say that.... ;)

I also run the RC Kit, so would explain why I don't have the same problem either.

It was. It was indeed.

Old coilovers are off the car bud, so I have complete access to them :)

They're already on and have done anglesey bud! Not seen my video? I linked you to it....

Mmmm. I'm not saying it is the diff, but how aggressive is the gripper set up to be? And when were the plates / gripper last refurbed? Also, did the gripper come out of porkies car? And if so, what driveshafts are you running - cup or non cup? Both Mark and James will be better placed to...

Cheers guys, off to get some G101. I'll have a stab at it over the weekend and post up the results on here. :)

People of the cleaning fraternity. I rarely venture in here, as @Scrooge will vouch for, I am not the best when it comes to cleaning things. I'm more a 'drive it' kind of guy ;) Having said that, I need to some advice please. I have put some AST's on the clio, and removed my old bilsteins. The...

So is EPAS with a charger not recommended / easy to do?

Committed. That's how us southerners do it! :wink: I went up the night before. Was unloading my car into the travelodge at 10:30pm including spare wheels and trolley jack 😂 Drove home after the trackday to Leamington so was only 3.5 hrs which wasn't too bad. Slept like a baby when...

As others have said, for the gains, TB's aren't really cutting it anymore. They do sound epic though and an NA engine may be better for hill climbs / sprints from a competitive class perspective.

Cheers man, yep - loved it! Quite technical and took me a long time experimenting with different lines etc. It was a long drive up though. Took me 5 hours in that awful 36 degree heat we had on Wednesday 😧

Ha ha! Cheers! My own stupid fault, it had been very hot, then rained and I went out on my Direzzas. Should have swapped to my wets really. Lesson learnt 😌

Some footage from my run out in the flamemobile at Anglesey. New track, new suspension, new power and new brakes, so go easy on me :wink: There is a bit of a moment at 14 mins 17 seconds 😂 @Scrooge @Rob @TheEvilGiraffe @Daniel Given you all said you wanted to see some of it...

Great rep! Looks lovely. Top work.

I think you'd miss the Clio, unless you were going to throw big money at the megane. Keep it. :)

Nice. Some good plans as well by the sounds of it!

Who knows, even I may actually make a meet this year..... Looks like a good turnout and good weather :)

Some footage from anglesey. Had great fun and Anglesey is a great circuit, took me a while to get used to the changes to the car and the unfamiliar track, but got quicker through the day. Some serious metal was running. 95% of cars there came and left on a trailer. Despite that, I had good fun...

Welcome along.

I also have my head from my old engine you can have free.
