Really nice. Needs a cup spoiler I think though. I don't know why anybody would pay £1200 for paint and not £200 for a cup pack (the origional owner).

I found it worst between 60 and 75. You get a load of boom, which is far from ideal as its motorway cruising speeds.

Lovely car. Any tuning plans for it?

Looks fantastic that. You never got over the 197 so best to get back in one.

I almost cried when Riad told me that. I want a £250 ph1!!!! Its great how cheap RS Clios are getting though.

The Clio TCE is ok for a 1.2, it has the torque of the 1.6 K4M it replaced and its delivered a bit earlier too so it feels ok to drive. I agree its probably better to just leave it as it is and wait for an upgrade in car. Standard CS response but as everybody knows the injectors are a limiting...

Looks good mate. I wouldn't bother with strut braces though. Better off with solid top mounts and a whiteline adjustable anti roll bar.

I'd just stick to a standard off the shelf remap. I'd also look at getting some coilovers, properly set up as mat said.

I'm hoping greenlight will give me a good insurance quote when i'm 21, that would see me back in an RS Clio :) I'm sure the car will feel a lot better when its all done though, every now and again they need a bit of money spending on them to keep them fresh.

Perfect tbh.

Fair play for chucking yourself in at the deep end. Drove a good race too. Well done.

My 172 used to really kick at just over 5k.

Get a ph1 airbox and run it with no airfeeds. There are no heatsoak issues as JMS proved. Something like 5 degrees above ambient at 60mph. It sounds epic. Best free mod I ever did to my 172.

Thats pretty awesome to be honest.

Good choice mate. Great feeling getting your first RS Clio.

I wonder if he actually believed that himself? Getting back in a MCS then? Had enough of the Vee?

Thats pretty cool! How much did that cost if you don't mind me asking?

36-38 mpg was average for me. compared to about 32 in my ph1 172. Motorway in the 1.2 was probably around 45-48 @ 70mph compared to 40-44 in the 172.

I'm only 5" 7 so its never been a problem for me. The driving position is poor though. If you put the seat on its highest setting its acutally laughable.

Looks really good on the anthracite f1's. I love the fact they're 15" so cheap tyres.

Plus eibach sportline springs and turinis if funds allow. A map and intercooler would make it good for about 80-90bhp too.

Cracking selection of cars. All in really good condition too.

I'd have the dci. I'd never buy another 1.2 Clio, or 1.2 anything, but the dci's are pretty damn good tbh.

I sold my car for this reason Jamie, I would hardly use it so I sold it to avoid the running costs. However if you can afford to keep it easily then i'd keep it, you've just had it on track, thats something you wouldn't do in the replacement car probably. It all depends what you want from the...

I loved driving a 355. The noise is epic. The only downside was having to change up at 7500rpm, i suppose its only fair to protect the cars though.

I'm a huge fan of the gen 1 MCS. Especially the GP. Epic cars imo. Pricey yes, but depreciation is also relitavely low as with all mini's.

If its still doing it when its warmed up fully. Say after 30 mins then it will more than likely be a thermostat problem, which won't let the car get fully up to temperature thus leaving the cold limiter still active. Its a pretty common fault.

Looks great that mate. Get a cup spoiler on it to improve the looks from the back.

I'd say 99% of Clio's currently on the road will be scrapped by them. There may be a few Vee's knocking around possibly.

Looks a bad one. Glad your ok. Hopefully you'll get a good payout for it, unfortunately the prices recently aren't great.
