Dont suppose anybody has any recent piks of clios (mk1) which, are used for motorsport events such as track days, road rallies, sprints, hill climbs etc .

Basically Im looking for advice/info on how to get the best performance from my clio without throwing any money at the engine (for the moment). The only problem is i use the car everyday to get to and from work although no music and road noise is bearable. . .

Up to Now Ive stripped out the:


Front and Rear seats
Rear panal covers
Roof lining
All sound deadening (inc from behind the dash)
All seats belts
Carpets
Is there anything else which would save a little weight (no going on a diet jokes cas im only little anyway)

Lmfbo Nahh man two buckets with a fishing Pole i look like a knome and it leaks so yes there is a little pond...

Cant really strip the dash out cas i need it as its used to get me to and from work although I was contemplating leaving it out when i removed the sound deadening.

See if you can find some pictures of Weights clio. I think the dash is still in, but thats about it!

Before you spend any money on the engine , uprate the brakes first as it is without a doubt the weakest part on a performance Clio .

Dont bother with big brakes , just get Willwood 4 pot calipers and group "n" discs from Rally design , along with some decent hoses and youll have absolutely storming brakes for less than half the price people pay for big brakes from AP and Tarox etc .

P.s to save a little more weight you can valso try running without the spare wheel or carrier .
