Clio 200 clutch

[Jordi17]

Quick question - is the clutch on the Clio 200 as heavy as the 182? Or heavy in general?

Thanks alot, Jordi.

The clutch felt lighter when I test drove one.

 

[R-Sport.]

lighter

[Jordi17]

Lighter by a great deal?

The pedal feel is a lot lighter compared to a 182 if that's what you mean?Not sure about the weight of the actual clutch itself though.

 

[R-Sport.]

As above the feel is a lot lighter-

cable v hydrolic = a lot lighter

 

[Jordi17]

Yeah the feel of it, going to view a 200 sat for my mum and dad convinced them to go Renaultsport

Hydraulically actuated on Mk3's so they're much lighter.

 

[SBV116]

yup, much lighter!

 

[Jordi17]

Brilliant, my dad doesnt like my heavy clutch on my 182 lol. going to look at a GW 200, speedlines, NO rear spoiler, Recaros and cup chassis (red brake calipers), seems a good spec. Didnt want a cup spoiler as they are too large imo.

 

[Jordi17]

Also, is the 200 stop/start button?

 

[lemonnobby]

yeah unless its a cup? iirc

 

[Jordi17]

Not a cup, so you just stick the key in and press the button?

Not a cup, so you just stick the key in and press the button?

Just need to have the key card on you/in a bag, get in and press the start button.

Works really well in my opinion.

So, the clutch is lighter?

 

[Jordi17]

Just need to have the key card on you/in a bag, get in and press the start button.

Works really well in my opinion.

Cool, looks to be in an odd position, on the passenger side lol.

They're LHD in most markets, remember.

Only a few countries have RHD (Japan, UK, Australia/NZ etc) so it's not worth manufacturing specific lower dashboards for RHD cars.

 

[Jordi17]

could we confirm that silver calipers = no cup chassis. In the real world is this a big difference as another one we are viewing doesnt have cup chassis, is in Albi and DOES have Recaros. This is on 6k and £1k cheaper than the GW.

 

[Christopher]

Yup.

No red callipers means standard chassis.

182s clutch isnt heavy, i dont think. my dads v6 is though!
