I still remember the conversation now 😀 I think the Snetterton track day test drive sealed the deal.

Appreciate the kind words, yes it was indeed RS Tunings old supercharged demo car. I think I have some photos of it complete knocking about somewhere. Both Clio's were amazing in their own ways. I'm glad the supercharger kit came up for sale, even though the PB was a rare car i didn't think...

Cheers! The 220 was amazing, at that time I really thought I hit peak and was staying put with it. Brilliant car on track and all rounder.

Thank you! Even after a year like the phase 1 Clio I can't think of a reason to chop it in, subtle changes have given it soo much more on road presence. It's a great second car.

I'd already bought the PBs replacement, the other end of the spectrum. A diesel, comfortable, not gonna set the world on fire, capable of 60mpg! With that in August 2015 I did a 3000 mile road trip around Europe in 11 days, it was quite frankly the perfect car to do it. I wanted away from the...

As the title suggests although I've owned Renaults on and off for over 17 years it's been around a decade I've been actually owned Renaultsport affiliated cars. Nowadays i'll frequent the Cliosport forums in the background but in the last 10 years it has introduced me to a whole... handful of...

😁

Short but sweet visit but great to see the usual bunch and a few new faces. Looking forward to the Vampire brekkie next visit 😁

I'll be there! What time again?

Brilliant car, will do a write up at some point this week.

Picked it up earlier, let the 4 day test drive begin 😁🤔

Popped into Toomey Southend today and arranged to have the Clio this weekend picking up from Friday until Monday.

I have Sunday lunch with the family at 1pm but could pop ove I thought Wings have enough tarmac area

It's not an RS..... The end.... 😁

I am indeed, should be in a couple of weeks time for the whole weekend. I'll do a review with photos afterwards and post it up. I've had both the 200 EDC and 220 Trophy so I'm keen to feel the difference.

Had an email today from the sales manager at my local Renault dealer, after speaking to him at the unveil and a couple more times since.... He's asked if I'm interested in taking an RS Line out for 48hrs to give them some feedback on how it is, would be rude not to😁😊

Stunning combination of red with anthracite Speedlines👌

Stop this!.......... You're making me check all available classifieds for Clios! 😁

I can't believe it's £300 to tax the Exclusive! (Y reg) a year. The Meg 4RS is £140, my smoky old shitbox Peugeot 407SW is £220

I was around owning GT Turbos when you could pick up a half decent one for less than a grand, now they're fetching anything and over 10K. Like the classic minis, everybody hated the clubman square shape but once they'd rinsed out the round front models all of a sudden it became the next big...

But maybe it not being desirable will come into its own. Personally its one Clio I've noy ticked off on my list and wouldn't mind owning.

Seriously toying with buying an Exclusive 172, I think I'm right in saying it's a bit marmite. The BBS wheels and the cream leather interior seems to provoke a vomit in the mouth reaction for which I actually like. The one in mind needs TLC, I'm seeing this as a long burner project to have it...

Be good to see a few of you, looking forward to taking the Megane.

What an absolute peach of a phase 1! Great save

Indeed, was built, mapped and driven well over a year without any problems. Untouched stock bottom end and gearbox, it was a FSH Clio but replaced everything while the engine was out. So new clutch and release bearing, cambelt, waterpump, Meg 225 keyway pulley, obvs new belt for the charger...

Did the supercharger conversion in a Petrol Blue 182, was a second hand K Tec kit mapped having an Adaptronic ECU installed by Chris at EFI.... 266hp and 220ft/lbs torque. That's the basics but the full project thread is here, people tend to forget mine as I'm not really prolific on here...

After reading that back about the gearbox what I meant was it was great to use, made better by having the 220 software installed on my old 200 EDC. The 220 paddles are better too, less throw on the click when gear changing.

I'd happily admit the gearbox in the 200 wasn't the greatest but a massive step forward. The Mk4 was a big step in tech coupled with a great chassis, the gearbox takes weeks getting used to not a quick 10 minute blast up and down the road with a salesman on a test drive. They revised the...

Low 30s on dual carriage way driving, high 30s and topped 40mpg on long motorway driving using CC.

They offer a 1.3 160 TCE in the Scenic and Kadjar already, which thinking about it now why it didn't make its way into the Clio RS Line.... There's rumours of 180hp, amongst loads of other rumours of will there won't there be another outright RS model... We will see.
