CLIO 200

[CHUFFER]

Right just a quick one, A lad I know has just bought a brand new clio 200 cup and was telling me how affective the LSD is on it.
I didn't say anything but I didn't think the clio came with a LSD.
Is he just talking shite as I suspect

 

[CabinFever]

Yes.

HTH.

 

[DrR]

Lol

 

[STEVENEVO]

No LSD but knuckle set up , to reduce torque steer , R26 has both .

 

[Joeh]

Yeah the same one as ford stole from renault for the shitty rs iirc, renault developed it and ford failed with it .
8.15

 

[Munson]

It does amuse me how Ford seem to have taken it as their own invention. Is it actually the same thing in principle? The popular theory is that they patented it, which seems gay if Renault have been using it in the Megane for years.

 

[Mr Burns]

LSD Clio, nice.

 

[_williams_]

renault developed it and ford failed with it

:lolup:

 

[CHUFFER]

Cheers guys!

 

[Lozza-p]

just like the RS engine that is a VOLVO engine thats been around since the 90's

 

[Peperami]

They've never made a secret of the volvo link, whats the problem in that? :S

 

[MadUsa1]

I hear that Renault had patented their version of the RevoKnuckle but that Ford managed to find a way around their patents.

I think what annoyed Renault was that they came up with the concept but failed to get and real marketing mileage out of it whereas Ford came onto the scene, basically copied Renault's engineering and made a big song and dance about how clever they are.

And yeah, nothing wrong with that Volvo engine!

 

[Munson]

That makes sense RE: RevoKnuckle.

Oh well, you snooze you lose.

 

[Gally]

Lols saying that ford failed, oh yes the FRS is crap.

200 lsd, pmsl! LSD seems apt for the drugs the guy is on!

 

[-Leigh-]

oh yes the FRS is crap.

Finally a man that speaks sense. It truely is isn't it!!

All that hype for a bodykitted family wagon, that can't lose an ickle Clio on a track.

 

[Gally]

Yes major fail. That's why Royston Vasey ordered one.

 

[Louism]

I take it FRS is first rs not focus rs

 

[Munson]

PMSL at some people having digs at the FRS just to bait. Transparent f***s.

 

[Gally]

It's jealousy because they will never own one Roy.

 

[-Leigh-]

It's jealousy because they will never own one Roy.

No it's not. It's winding Roy up lol.

My statement was true though!!

 

[Gally]

It's not but that's okay.

 

[Munson]

Anyway doesn't a car have to have some torque to really require an LSD?

 

[-Leigh-]

All cars have some torque Roy, if they didn't, they wouldn't move.

 

[Munson]

That's what I meant.

 

[Gally]

I think the 200 has less torques than a diesel lawmower.

So I heard possible.

 

[-Leigh-]

That's what I meant.

Oh, I see.

So what was your point? You would like to see the new Kia Cee'd with the option of an LSD?

 

[Gally]

You're right.

 

[Munson]

Oh, I see.

So what was your point? You would like to see the new Kia Cee'd with the option of an LSD?

No. My point was that I can't be bothered to argue today.

 

[ForceIndia]

Anyway doesn't a car have to have some torque to really require an LSD?

No, not at all. DC2 being a good example.

The idea for revoknuckle/r26 gubbins is from trucks, I remember reading.

 

[Munson]

Yes I wasn't being serious.

Interesting about the truck thing. So I guess it's been around for a while as an automotive engineering solution rather than something any one manufacturer pioneered.

 

[ForceIndia]

Yeah, probably just one of those things that no-one had twigged onto for performance cars. Shame, as I imagine the original FRS would of gone as well as it looked had it been included.
