Evilshredder, I also ran my clio in- 500 miles. However, the general consensus including from renault is that you dont have to bother. I did it for piece of mind.

Ive put my 1.2 16v to test on the track and in standard guise with a tank full of optimax and no passengers but two 10" subs and a 15" one, when Id just finished running it in, it pulled 0-60 in 10.9 and a top mph of 116. Book figures for my car said 12.1 0-60 and 106 top speed so the figures ARE wrong! The Mk2 has the same engine but its tuned differently (the torque is apparently redistributed so theres less of a flat spot mid-range) so the 0-60 is 13.0 but it pulls harder to 100. I took it to the track again recently since I had my Scorpion system fitted and its slower. 0-60 was 11.3 and it reached 114. However 50-70 is definitely faster, the flat spot is gone since fitting the zorst.

Was it timed properly???

on mine i was doing around 116mph on the dials and on the sat nav it was saying 107mph. BUT it felt as if it had a wee bit to go after that speed, by which time i was backing off.

ive had 110 out of my 1.2, its a MK1 and Ive never done a 0-60 run properly timed, was a dodgy watch timer thing, but it was in the 10-11 range with 1/4 tank of optimax. (BTW, that sh*t really works on smaller cars, anyone tried it in a beast? any improvement?) my car has done 24000 though so its properly run in (I took it easy for the first 1000, then she got some proper treatment. Still works fine now, not one bit of trouble with her.
