Clio 182 - Proof at last!!!!!!

I spoke to Jeremy at donnington and it is true there will be a 182, mainly by upgrading the inlet manifold and the twin exit exhaust

Thought it might be something to do with the new polished inlet mainfold, one of the racer chaps said a while ago that using one gave him about 10bhp more. Renault must have been busy polishing loads...

Im tempted to buy one myself, along with a Viper and a GroupN ECU.

 

[telford_mike]

10 bhp is easy to do yourself, and there are loads of 172s that make 180+ bhp with a few mods. Why worry? Poke in the eye for Peugeot for sure, but the Renault engine was already a lot better than the Pug..

FUD...

Most modern 16v engines are vvt.

I think R Sport sell the inlet manifold already...

if the current 172 is not in bhp,then how come i have a renault brochure which states that the 172 is in bhp and not in ps ?

Because its bhp DIN mate...

 

[Dash]

Just some questions which may already have been asked.

Are there any REAL pics of this Clio?

Actual specs, colours, trim, and least important performance figures?

Is it on the assembly lines now ?

When can it be ordered ?

 

[cat171]

Sorry for the dodgy translation, just used Google translate on the rs-team page.

 

[rsclio.172cup]

Heres the full ( and even more dodgy ) translation of that text:

In order to counter the 206 RC, Renault Sport envisaged in its paperboards a last evolution of CLIO RS. This CLIO RS phase 3 must be born at the same time as the general rehandling of range CLIO (without major aesthetic modification). Equipped with 180 cv to pass by again symbolically in front of the 206, it will receive a new line of exhaust. That Ci will be finished by a double apparent exit, signs distinctive models Renault Sport (CLIO V6, next Mégane RS...). It also will have the right to travelling trains still optimized as well as new rims, colors and options! The evolution in figures CLIO Rs2 CLIO Rs 180 Engine Power (cv@tr/min) 172@6250 180@6500 Couple (Nm@tr/min) 200@5400 200@5250 travelling Trains Pneus 195/45 R16 205/45 R16 Tare weight (kg) 1035 1185 * Total maximum (kg) 1490 1510 urban Consomations Cycle 11.2 11.3 Cycle extra urban 6.3 6.2 complete Cycle 8.1 8.1 * the difference in weight manufacturer can paraitre ennorme. Nevertheless, 1035 kg announced for Rs2 are rather optimistic considering it is plûtot measured to 1115 kg on average by the press. Let us hope all the same that 1185 kg announced for the CLIO Rs 180 are an error... The CLIO Rs 180 evolves/moves especially technically: Driving side, one finds a new line of exhaust with a collector of the 3Y type instead of the 4 into 1, a new catalyst and a back silencer at double exits. A new case butterfly as well as an adapted reprogramming of the calculator

Boyo

 

[Dash]

Thanks for all that info. I will get down to my dealer very soon. Bye bye V6

 

[D-CUP]

Interesting how people slated those pics before when they are clearly genuine.

 

[Jeremy Townsend]

If you can bnear to wait for a couple of days Ill give you all the definitive position for the UK

 

[Tom]

Days!!

LoL

 

[geoff_clio182]

Good old Jeremy comes up trumps again!

 

[jon_r]

still reckon they are photoshopped

 

[blink172]

If thats the case, how come dealers arent telling us. About to pick up my new 172 on saturday after 10 week wait and its already out of date. Whats the trade in on a never driven 172????

 

[Tom]

They dont know.

thats the truth.

Thanks Jeremy.

 

[BikeMan]

Yep, cheers Jeremy. Looking forward to hearing what my dealer is going to offer me as a replacement for my rejected Cup

 

[black-cat]

Did anyone else understand the same as me from the ropey translations, i.e. main differences on the new 180 (2)

New inlet manifold design, throttle assembly, ecu, exhaust manifold (4 - 2 -1 as opposed to the current 4 -1 design), and new exhaust back box with twin exit.

I for one am more eager to see the result of the jenvey throttle body kit than these small renault changes.

 

[McBunny]

ooh it has a built in calculator lol

 

[jon_r]

so can we retro fit all the bits?

 

[nonos]

All in all, I doubt it will be any faster:

+10 bhp, +150Kg according to the site

Well i am well pissed off that this news has come this late, I think renault are only keeping quite about it, to to get rid of old stock. My 172 is going to old and worth a few k less as soon as i drive it off the forecourt in about 3 weeks time.

Err.. wouldnt that make it slower than the current 172 ?

 

[geordiepaul]

I doubt it will be 150kg heaver! What have they done made the exhaust out of lead?

Wider tyres too!!! 17s will fit no bother with those 205/45/R16!!

We need to know sooner than that...

 

[Rich-D]

They said the weight could be a misprint...

Only an idiot would make the car that much heavier!

This is Renault!

 

[Rich-D]

Exactly... the "true" weight for the mk2 172 was a mystery for ages too...

They have changed the manifold/ rest of exhaust system, ECU, cat, throttle body and inlet manifold and only made another 8 hp? WTF is that about?

 

[Dave S2K]

Just sounds like a final blast for the current Battle of the 180s craze in my opinion.

 

[KDF]

They should have just done a "roamer" then they wouldnt of had any probs with the other 180s

 

[Dave S2K]

true true, roamers sounds very nice, literally

Maybe just me but I dont even think non V6 clio shell suits the twin talepipe layout, not that close together anyway...

Peak power is incresed and its higher up the range, yet peak torque remains the same but is available lower down the rev range!

Bet its got different driving characteristics to the current engine...
