Renault Clio 1.6 16v Rsi
hahahaha @ the end of the day if the 106 gti was alot quicker we would say but it aint so end of we r biased neway
Just wondering why we cant post anything about street racing?
Cheers
oh no the police will monitor this site and nick anyone who speaks about - yeah course.
Most forums allow this, strange this ones does not.
BTW I am not a street racer and er I do know its illegal. I think you have been watching too much of the fast and furious films.
The valver is better
Q.E.D
When i first got my 16v it was a 106gti which, due to my pride caused me to blow up my clutch. Theyre very under-estimated.
Agree the Valver definately looks better, no doubt about it. But performance wise i think there really isnt much in the two, nothing youd notice on the road anyway.
Id still buy a Valver tho...
Sorry guys, i havent been on here for a while. What do you mean by talking about street racing? does this mean no talk about races with other cars?
In this case, whoops cause i did it not so long back on here about a 106 GTI.. I wasnt told about this.
I very much doubt anyone could get done for talking about it cause they would need proof!
Anyway, i could tell you that when i had an experience with a 106 GTI it was a challenge. This had a superchip, pollished ported head etc but never the less he still didnt get away.

These rules were only introduced recently. Here is a http://forum.cliosport.net/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=12&TopicID=115324&PagePosition=1Link so you know what the are
well the misss has a 106 gti - im insured on it plus i had a vts which attended many santa pod days - id be more than willing to agree there close but the 106 does have the edge its down 200cc as well
ilove both cars i really do im not being byast - but i spose you get good ones and bad ones so its the luck of the draw really!
nearly bought a valver minter 60k in metallic red i loved it on test drive!!
Can you get them for similar money then? I do like the valvers look, but theyre also quite dated, inside and out. The Pug is hardly a revolution but it is better in that respect, i guess if you got one it would be newer too and theres better tuning capability as well. I imagine being 1.6s theyd also be cheaper to run?

The engine out-put on the GTI seems to vary alot, ive seen near standard ones make 130+ on the rollers where as ive seen them also make the quoted 120. Rumour has it that the later engined ones do make 130 standard due to a different ecu, sensors and a slightly different exhaust set-up(cat now in the manifold) but there is no hard evidence.
Having had my gti now for about 3 years i think i can give it a fair review.
Its a quick car off the line and will pull up to the end of third gear really easy, and top out at about 130 ish on the clock, about 62 in 2nd, just make sure you keep above 4K, it loves to be revved but get caught out of gear whilst on the move and youll be screwed because there is hardly any torque to pull you along. Handling wise its superb, can really throw it about and if you fuk up you can easly correct it, just plant that foot and point it where to go. Cant really say the brakes are that good but a set of gti-6 brakes would make a good upgrade. The cabin is right enough, i quite like it though the leather option would have been better as i have the cloth, does make a few rattles though, especially the sun roof. Driving position is good for me but the peddles do get a bit of getting used too, the throttle and brake are really close to gether, i never used to beable to drive in boots when i first got it but ive managed to adjust and am quite happy to now.
Over all a good little car that has never(touch wood)brokedown on me, responds well to tuning and can be driven hard.
just to add... ive owned 2 106gtis... first one made 140bhpwith just an exhaust and decat ... current one made 134bhp standard.... ive raced a 150bhp valver in my first one when it was standard and there was ZERO in it all the way up till we backed off... dean from ere can vouch for this... this was conducted on a runway I might add
