    Do people misjudge how fast your Clio is??

    lol i remember in my old ph2 172 pulling out to overtake 9 cars and a bus on a straight and as i pulled out a rover 25 behind the bus pulled out i then had to break as the 25 was only half way past the bus when i reached it, hero car!

    Do people misjudge how fast your Clio is??

    the most annoying one for me is when your on the wrong side of the road overtaking a line of traffic as your sitting about 8 cars back and no one overtakes and then just as your about to pass the 2nd car from the front they pull out!

    Tax on a DCI if you put a sport engine into it.

    the trick is your using less revs to get the same performance which is going to give you better mpg which is why mine shot up about 5mpg on average daily driving, if you give it limiter every gear then yes your going to use more fuel as your turbos giving you more air!

    im not getting into any more arguments but a few facts for people who have no experiance with diesel tuning (not that theirs anything wrong with that, each to their own) but people always jump to the following conclusions due to knowing their brothers mates cousin with the screw mod on his...

    also a point worth noting you get rear disks on the dci 100 which imo look better

    lol maby if youve had 4 kids! if youve driven any of the other non RS clios and know the issue with engine/gearstick movement then try a 100, but really you need a good long test drive with the box to really appreciate it

    reliability is much the same, they are the same basic engine, same fuel pump, same injectors just a different turbo and more fuel pressure for the 100

    its back to the same thing though straight line no you wont but on your average uk road yes you will, i beleive a certain scottish member commenting on how hard he was working his 197 to keep up with me on the st andrews meet!

    Tax on a DCI if you put a sport engine into it.

    spec wise a 100 and 80 are much the same, if your asking about the technical side then yes their are a few differences mechanically but as far as driving comes into it the 100 you get the better gearbox, their is people who say its crap, it just takes getting used to, if youve driven a mk3 clio...

    the problem with a 100 is if you find one you need to take what ever colour and spec you can get although same can be said for the 80 but not as extreme i was just lucky i got black with climate, electric sunroof and cd changer which is what i wanted

    if you can find a 100 then they are deffo worth the extra premium, 80 is a nice compromise though, 100 is a lot better to drive though due to the 4th engine mount and hydraulic clutch

    no its not an issue you service it, it wont happen. in the same way the cambelt on a 172/182 isnt a weak point, however muppets dont change them and look how many storys you hear about them snapping... if you understood how an engine worked you would realise that but clearly you dont since you...

    Tax on a DCI if you put a sport engine into it.

    reliability issues with 1.9 and 2.2dci engines, 1.5's are fine apart from the odd fuel pump/injector as with all comon rail diesels regardless of manufacturer. tuning a car is never the best way to get maximum reliability regardless of it running on petrol, diesel, having a turbo, being a...

    Clio Sport Ownership Question/s

    just for the record my mate bought a 106 rallye with loads of bits n bobs done to it and i bought my ph1 and i think he sometimes wishes he had got the ph1, however he is still very happy with his car, i think what ever you get you will probably wish you got the other! saxo/106 is more nimble...
