Here's a few pics from someone I know on a volvo forum that done a day at Snetterton, couple of ph1's, a black vee & a couple of cup racers by the looks of it anyone off here? http://s830.photobucket.com/albums/zz222/blackbeast14/Snetterton%2014th%20Oct%202010/?albumview=slideshow

Come to think of it, when did Renault finally admit there was a problem with the bonnet catches? I'm thinking that might have something to do with it being written off, if the damage & resulting claim happened before Renault admitted the problem existed & done the recall, it was easier for them...

I'm guessing it was just a case of laziness on the insurance companies part perhaps? Quicker & easier to sort by writing it off instead of getting it fixed by them?

Have you had it on track yet Dave? I started to feel the same about mine last year, thought about getting a trophy, had a meggy 225 for a bit, then went straight back to my valver & since I had it on track for the 1st time I'm so glad I stuck with it. You need to learn to drive it properly on a...

Why this grown man drives a proper clio, Mk1 FTW! :approve:

Surely saving up to get it fixed will be a shitload cheaper than saving up to buy a completely different car? Get your hands dirty & learn to sort it yourself, it will make you appreciate the car a hell of a lot more too ;) It's in situations like this where it really pays off to be part of a...

I might be able to make this, I'd also like to see if Dave's got decent tyres so he can get round roundabouts as quick as I can :rasp:

Who the hell ruined that photo putting a poxy mk2 clio & a ramp in the way? :rasp:

Now here's a man well stocked up with Jeremy Clarkson brave pills :rasp:

Project title fail! :o Well overdue an update Now since all those fun & games, I added a few more goodies in preparation for my 1st ever track day at Castle Combe :cool: I fitted some bucket seats, 3 point harnesses, 13 row oil cooler & some used R888's Now the latest with the...

Courtesy cars turn me into a hooligan :dapprove: they get abused as I use them to vent my frustration at not having & being able to drive my car

Ragging it from cold will increase the wear on the engine as the oil isn't able to do it's job properly until it gets to a certain temperature. I don't rag mine until I can see that the oil has got into it's optimum temperature range, oil gauges as standard on a Mk1 ftw ;)

There's quite a few memebers on there from round your way as well

Plenty about for sale, where are you from & what's your budget? Might be a better idea to look on www.clio16valver.co.uk for more relevant info & what's for sale than on here ;)

I've always called them DS twenty five hundred

I think it's in the same place as the megane jc5's, on the underside just to the right of the 5th gear cap thing ;)

Clio fuel gauges are just c**k teasing c-units :mad: I can get just over 300 miles to a full tank, but I'll do about 120 miles & the gauge says I've only used 1/4 of a tank :rolleyes:

Technically I thought the vx220 was German :S

You've got that quote a bit out of context there m8 :rolleyes: also didn't take any note of my reply to that comment either :rolleyes: How anyone can call a valver tame is beyond me :rolleyes:

Good luck with the sale then mate, although it's probably a good idea to put a thread up in the for sale section ;)

It's a marketing thing, the valvers were built at the RS factory in dieppe so they are RS clios, just don't need to advertise it with a badge ;) The voice in my head that wants to go faster is saying get the hell away from pokey french hatches & go for some volvo powered lunacy

No, a mk1 1995 1.8 16v clio to be precise ;) Don't get me wrong, they're good cars, I like them but would I actually pay, with real money I've worked for to buy 1? Not a chance, not worth the extra money in my humble opinion

Much more fun though ;) I still prefer it over a trophy and I ragged the arse off that car, was quite underwhelmed But if we're talking about french v jap I'd take my old corolla gt over the lot, I miss that car sooo much :(

Sounds like it's a decent example but I'd prefer to stick with my trusty mk1 :cool:

Only solution is to get rid of the car & walk, cars break, they're all s**t but brilliant at the same time

I struggled to do it smoothly in the trophy I had a go in, maybe with a bit more practice I could improve but I seriously doubt I'd be able to do it as well as I can in the valver ETA: I find it almost impossible to do in in beemers as well lol

I was going to say they look s**t, but it's amazing how a decent photo works wonders, they look very smart :cool:

Same here lol

and to think folk on here say the Mk1's are sheds :rolleyes:

Didn't Evo magazine say that the VXR is better than the 197? EDIT: http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/cargrouptests/209893/corsa_vxr_v_cooper_s_v_clio_197_v_ibiza_cupra.html
