^^^ exactly. why do rs owners always have to put their two bits in. (assuming he is one)
 
  1.8 Civic EX
if you got a fair bit of ice and rather large wheels (17's at a guess looking at the pic) then that would make a bit of difference but if I'm quite honest all the vids in this thread look exactly the same to me??!?

Yea Timmay that sounds good!! Ive just had mine lowered this week, it loves the old B roads now! I had a 1.0 polo before my 1.6 clio, and it does feel pretty nippy compared, nothing on a vts or anything like that though. Great fun having it and being 18 though!

Just Read that ^^^^

What is it with sport owners?! Not all of them but some are completely deluded.

1stly....there are so many threads about atm about sports vs db9 etc, its ridiculous, and then some numpty pops ups saying, 'in a straight line it might just have you but round the twisties youl have it' what a joke. That sort of comment is just as bad as the idiots who stroll in ripspeed and come back with a sun strip and leds and think there car is the millenium falcon.

2ndly....why when us non sport owners wanna talk about our cars, not biggin them up, just talk about them, some plank like that idiot up there comes in and says sumin like that, because that is really helpful isnt it.

Sorry about the rant. Something has to be said though because its ridiculous, this is a clio website for clio owners not a sport website for only sport owners, does my nut.

Lets get that 1.6 clio track day going!:rasp:

duh, speedos read over your actual speed

my speedo has said wot looks like 123mph, on a 1.2 not likely is it,
i imagine to be about 105 or summat in reality
 
  Mk2Clio 1.6 16vDynamique
yeah but they are not that far off, that still looks fast, especially as factory figures suggest 9.3 to 60
 
  Polo + Micra
they are a set of 17" tsw pace wrapped in a set of gsd3' and it's lowered about 50mm on a set of FK coilovers
