Clio 1.5 dCi from Good Old Germany



  Clio 182 Racing Blue
Hey Folks,

my name is René, i'm 23 and from Kulmbach Germany. It's a town with 30.000 inhabitants famous for its beer, which is selled all over the world. :cool:

My Clio history started right with my first car. It was a '03 dCi with wicked 65 BHP.

After that little rocket, I came across this little boy, a '03 dCi with 82 BHP.

After that it was time for something a bit more powerful, so I decided to get a Honda Civic '92 EH9 with 125 BHP and VTEC Engine.
It was really a breeze to drive this light and agile car. Still miss it sometimes.

After a accident (not my fault) and total damage of the car, I decided to go for the just heart-warming Clio B again.

This time it's a dCi Phase 3 with 101 BHP.

It's a Dynamique with Luxe package and equipped with all the comfort stuff, like light/rain sensor, auto climate control etc.

Here's a pick right after i picked it up in december '11

First I gave it a clean on the inside. Don't worry, few days after it I replaced the pretty used shift knob.

Then it was time for some optic changes:

First of all I bought from Supersport the Black Evolution Coilovers to lower this thing. I also bought some used Elia RS-R 7,5x17 wheels from a member of the german Cliowelt-forum.
I've put on some new Toyo Proxes T1-R in 205/40R17 and the cornering performance was well for 17's on a Clio and the midrange coilovers.

Then I wanted something more colorful on my ride. Went to my painter :)

In the following winter I had my car remaped at Wetterauer Tuning to around 15-18 BHP extra power. Since 40.000km I've had no problems with it and it really runs a lot better with the remap.
I also changed the color and added some stickers matching the new color :p

And in this summer I changed the color again, since my painter offers me such good prices I couldn't resist. I also lowered the Coilover to it's maximum without the tyres scraping anything.
Tyres were also replaced against Nankang NS-2 185/35r17, so it is a good stretch on a 7,5 inch rim.

Hope you like my little racer, but now you might wonder why my nickname is RS-Driver. Becaaaaaaause in a time not far away (couple of weeks) I can call myself a owner of a racing blue Phase 3 RS :)
Less then 10 racing blue Clios are registered in Germany, so it's a rare color in my country.

I will keep it clean like this one, but from a driving point of view there will be a few big changes. Like K-TEC 750 Motor Club Spec Coilovers, racing bars, steel-braided brake lines, ate super blue, Federal RS-R 595, OZ Ultraleggera and so on.


Hope you could leave a little feedback, because it's soon my wintercar with OEM 15' Alium wheels, of course in the same color as the 17' :)

Cheers Mates!

Thank you :) You mean the blue or the turquoise? I like turquoise the most of all the colors I painted.

No I'll keep it, because it's such a reliable car, I have enough performance in winter, it's a pretty safe car when you compare it to other winter rides.
And it is really well equipped with extras. So I run the RS in summer and with the dCi I go for low full consumption and cheap running costs.

I wont buy any aftermarket part for this ride anymore, cause in the next 2 weeks i'll get my RS. But if I would keep the 17' wheels and the car for sommer I would definately buy spacers. Maybe I buy spacers for the 15' alium wheels for winter. :)


Hey :) Are you a German or an Englishman living in Germany? :p
