Ill be at the next airfield day for a friendly comparison TomS :) TBH wouldnt like to geuss either way on the outcome. In all fairness all (standard) Clios are slow for an 'enthusiasts' car, but they are fun which goes a long way.

Have the same rep on PassionFord, tho to be fair a few commented on recent improvements.

Have you called?

APs are a very serious set-up and prob not needed unless your a hero on the track, the clio is very light. For ease of use Demon Tweeks can supply all parts, trader on here may do a better price tho.

APs with proper bells and rotors, silicone fluid and braided lines. Rears can be uprated but more important get bias set-up how you like with a valve.

Wicked vid, :)

Is it possible to run the car on original ecu and injectors if the inlet is matched/worked and cams installed? Would it be worth it? ps, just an idea as this would be hard to detect by renault if it needed warrenty work.

^ Roy is correct, look at the power curve of the clio and you will see that it is optimum for acceleration to meet the shiftlight. Rev drop at gear change: 1-2....3125 2-3....2291 3-4....1481 4-5....1192

AJR, if not faster, its all in the weight ;)

Do a search ;)

Hey Dan, was it you i spoke to? If it was i had just come back from a very stange event, prob thought i was pi$$ed or mental, lol, wasnt with it at all!

Care to share or keeping it under wraps? Sounds awesome tho :)

Cheers bellautos, close enough :)

AA been and gone now, simply seems to be the thermostat housing so im happy(and Renault). Seemed odd the water went a totally different colour, ah well, back to the dealer!!!

Water in expansion tank has gone brown and smells of fumes, oil level seems ok tho???

Waiting for renault assistance but pretty sure ive blown the head gasket on my 182! Anybody done one before? Just wondered how big of a job it actually is?

Plenty would tho, less lethal than the Clio v6 i'd imagine and given safety features now not so bad if you do spin into something (hopefully). 205 is still king, long live the king lol

Cheers Omar, iirc your running them with F1s which would also be my choice for an everyday tyre or dunlops for track, not overly impressed with the standard fitment given cost.

Anybody got a power graph for a 182, standard as poss please. Thanks, Paul.

Rory, ive driven several 205s inc a challenge car on a small course, i also took the 182 to the airstrip last weekend (+10k fast road miles) and trust me the 182 will never match the fun of the 205 for me. The Clio is the car i own for a reason tho, its a much better car in every other way :)

Omar, did you notice a great deal of difference with the leggras?

No doubt about it, i bought the 182 (not Trophy tho) hoping it was the modern 205 but it is no-where near as much fun or has the adjustability that a 205 has on the limit. imo the focus has a better chassis aswell.

Thats right Darren, Ian is always off rallying and his buisness suffers as a result. Posts on other sites regarding Godspeed: Just be aware, dont want people getting caught out.

Heard a few horror stories about Godspeed, if you go for them i suggest you collect them in person.

I brimmed the tank when i left home, did just over 100 miles on the road + about 7 runs there. Had over half tank left when i got back!

:( Was an awesome day, be a shame not to do another one!

Can we bring this along next time? I so wanna whoop it in the Clio, lol.

Interesting, once i knew the layout it seems pretty consistant, Passenger added 1sec on fifth lap for me (prob 80kg). Tore rear seats out (~15kg) for all but first run aswell. Totally standard otherwise. Damn that 106 was even quicker than i thought, superb times (clutch was weak on it too).

Cool pics Chris, top two are me :)
