using the usb connection will give you track listings on the screen, you wont get that with the headphone to aux one. think the usb slot only comes with the uprated bluetooth stereo which still has equally as pish sound quality.
mk2 clios that are driven hard are bad for wearing out inner track rods and track rod ends, ive had 2 of my past cars do it, one by 45k miles and one by 80k miles. worth changing them and having a proper geometry setup done. loads of people fit the best suspension and brakes and overlook this!
i think people get hung up on numbers too much, when running turbo torque 240/250bhp in a mk2 clio would be phenominal on the road! no need for anymore really
good to know, too many conversions out there giving a massive lump of power at 3500rpm braking traction, gearboxes, and anything else that gets in its way lol!
that looks not bad, some benchmarks with that graphics chip...

that cpu will likely be socketed and depending on what models fit will be upgradeable to a 2.5ghz or somewhere around they lined if needed.
ive yet to see a turbocharged F4R that has the drivability of the F4Rt though, if going to all the effort id do it properly and fit one of those, sure there was a guy on here running something crazy like over a bar of boost at 2k rpm!
if i was building something serious it would be a ph1 172, 2.0t megane 230 conversion, LSD, remap/exhaust & intercooler for a nice 270bhp and loads of torque, boost from low down unlike the turbo conversions. real drivability!
i dont mean over months, just maby one month on your payday or what ever buy a case, psu, any cooling fans, drives etc then the next one a montherboard, and memory, then the next a graphics card or what ever else you fancy. usually better for people who cant save lol
1.9 is a w**k engine tbh if going to the massive effort of doing it id do the 2.0 16v DCi 150/175 from the megane, much much better and more powerful engine. overkill in a clio though! would destroy a 172 imo!
