Well i hope i aint a sh*te driver! In mine you have to let off the gas otherwise id lose it and crash! It has been lowered and it was done professionally so hopefully ok. It handles better than when it was standard anyways! Im hopefully gunna be gettin coilovers too soon so that might help...
Mines a 1995 with 96k. Its had new bushes and springs not long ago but thats it. It handles ok, just not the best!
For example: The same roundabout that my car loses the back a 55mph my bros golf holds at 75! (Its a big roundabout by the way!)
Maybe its just mine!
Has anyone else driven...
As above really! We all know the willy handles spot on but how do you honestly rate you Clio 16v?
There are several cars that i have driven which i think handle better than my Clio.
My brothers Mk3 Golf for example!
In my valver i normaly let it drop to about half way to just above on the gauge before topping it up.
Mine seems to lack power for some reason when it gets half way but it still above min on the dip stick.
Whys that?
Cant agree enough! I know that they are quicker but the gap isnt that big between the two cars on the road! It is more noticible on the 1/4 though!
If a well driven valver is taken against any of the stated with a poorer driver on the street the outcome could go either way!
Get a poor driver...
I dont mind him saying that! Im just postin my experience! But he really did seem to be giving it his all. It was brand new and therefore tight and he was obviously driving a new car which hes not fully used to as it was an 04 plate.
I on the i other hand have been driving my car a year and...
I know your all gunna laugh now but i had a run in with a 04 plate one the other day in my clio 16v.
I must say i wasnt impressed at all cus i stayed wth him! The max he pulled was about 2 car lengths.
Make of it what you will but im not lying!
Oh yeah and thats with my car only with...
Mine limits dead on 7k. Is that not right?
Heres my rough speeds through the gears:-
First - 38-39 mph
Second - 68mph
Third - 96mph
Forth - 118-119mph
Fifth - had 136mph but not its limit!
Gotta count yourself lucky in some ways though! The outcome could have been much worse!
My mate had his car broke into the other day - they samshed his back window and took his whole system!
If they smashed yours you woulda have to had it re-tinted!
Ill second that! I have a Magnex 3" system and i love it! Sounds nice without being to loud! Sits flush with the car and isnt too big!
Pops alot too and thats with my cat on still!
Nick Read - Its lowered 35mil already? It doesnt look it from the pics but the exhaust scrapes on every speed bump! Still think your right though!
Coilovers all the way!
Just went to my local wheel and tyre place and they said they can fit and setup Cobra Evo 1 Coilovers to my car for £525.
Are Cobra any good and it that a fair price?
Comments please!
