Clio RSi Track Toy

[simon-g]

Hi all,

I have a Clio RSi 2001, I did my first track day in it the other day really enjoyed it. I am not looking into adding any power really whatsoever, im happy with the amount of grunt its got, I fully serviced it the other day inc cambelt, plugs, filters, full synth oil, and it produced 112bhp on the rolling road, not bad for a completely unmodified engine I thought. However, I do want to improve the handling somewhat, and id welcome your suggestions/ideas to what I have done/going to do to make it handle and stop better.

• Eibach Pro springs -15mm already fitted
• Rear seats, parcel shelf, sound deadening, rear speakers etc removed
• 286mm front big brake kit from K-Tec.
• 15" OZ F1 wheels from 172, as 286mm will foul on the 14" standard alloys
• Braided brake lines
• Uprated alloy suspension top mounts
• Full poly bushs replacement
• Possibly some new Eibach pro dampers?

Do you think the above will make a decent upgrade to the car?

Is this the 1.6 model mate?

Yeah, 1.6 16v.

The setup is pretty perfect on 'em already, start changing stuff doesn't really make much of a difference, I found when I started changing stuff the handling felt worse at high speeds. Weight loss always a good movie, though.

i would go with koni adjustable kit and lower to about 35mm and a rear arb so you have more adjustability for road and track and get the geo set up and corner weighted then play around with tyre pressures/shock stiffness until your happy with a set up that suits your style of driving.
