we tried high millage leasing on driving school cars, wasn't worth it in the end however wasn't too many major problems come hand back time they charged us for kerbed alloys and marks on the roof from the signs
this one is just mega cheap, as much as id love to wide track it and RS kit it its all about saving cash until were in the new house and keep miles off a lease car if I get something.cd player was shafted so stuck a laguna cabasse in it that I had lying about
my 100 lasted 2 days before it was mapped and then about 6 months before it shredded its clutch!! no tuning this time! maby a few RS touches but no power chasing!
Sold the twingo on as I didn't like having so much money tied up in it, looking to get a lease car but still sitting on the fence on one so needed a runabout asap, didn't want to spend over a grand so went to look at a local DCI that was advertised
Advert was brief, just said clio DCI...
ive never had a 197 but ive had some quick ph1 and ph2's and never felt any issues with my 200, if anything it was quicker! do you have an aftermarket exhaust? if so search for the flat spot on here and you will find out more info when running aftermarket exhausts on them
polish up headlights, find a wing mirror the same colour as your standard one, RS Grill, new rear number plate light (they are cheap on ebay and look crap when they are all faded)
I cant believe how many of these are on the road considering the price of them! maby im stuck in 2005 but its a lot of cash for them being so popular, I remember paying £16k for my Clio GT and never saw another one on the road due to the price of them!
id love a shot in one of these 1l Ecoboost...
handy mate to have!!
TD04 will be impressive had a shot of a TD04 powered starlet many moons ago and it was terrifying lol!
1.4 TCE 130 head will be a mega challenge, maby better just flowing the standard head better, I know it has VVT so management would be an issue unless you locked it out.
I tried a standard focus st intercooled on my last one and it was just too big and no more, would have fitted no problem if i was willing to trim plastic support from inside the bumper or remove the lower grill but i wanted it as factory as possible! Still got it actually!
yeah oscar...
Pauls your guy to talk to if your considering changing turbo etc. Yeah hes in leeds. He did mention even the 172 injectors are running at 85% duty so when changing turbos then you need to uprate the fuel pump and again better injectors, i beleive megane rs ones should fit though
Lol nothing at all i just uploaded the video with a brief description explaining the wet conditions and s**t start never mentioned anything about gt vs rs lol
its pretty quiet anyway and since they are very similar to clios theres loads more info on here anyway!
its night and day mate it was always nippy but now its properly quick for what it is weighing 970kg or there abouts i beleive it is. The figures dont tell the full story though the poeer delivery is brilliant proper torquey low down now! Any gear sink the boot and it pulls like a train from...

stick a SSD and 8GB of ram in it and it will fly - while probably out living you!
im using a 7yr old Thinkpad T61...
goes alright, hardly a scientific form of timing but im counting that about 4 seconds off the 0-100mph time of a 172 and 2 seconds faster than a Twingo 133!!
