Had my clio for about 5 months now, hardly driven it in the dry before, but tonight was perfect all the roads where clean and dry, i decided i'd give it's first "proper" thrashing down a b road i know so well, all i can say is i've never driven anything like it, the grip, the brakes, the noise! was like a 10 mile long orgasm, watching that speedo climb getting to a corner, chucking it into it, not even the slightest twinge, just holds! Coming up and down the hills, was just like being on a rollercoaster, I was getting annoyed with my car, with it's poor build quality and little rattles, but i just cranked up don't stop me now (queen) and was just me and machine together as one.....

good to hear, did that in mine today for the first time this year, did nearly loose it but all good fun!!!

you cant hear the rattles once you get it over 5k revs anyway lol

get a set of coilovers or even a set of eibach springs on it will handle even better

Only thing i'm concered about is the smell when i stopped lol! Is it best to the leave the engine running for abit after a good canning? I can't lower my car where I live, otherwise i would.

May only be a mk 1.4 but mine needs a good thrashing.

I always let it idle for a sec after caning it, doesnt make a difference really on a NA car though.....

Whats the smell? Hope it's not anything to worry about, is it just mud baking on?
