Hey guys I’m Nick, from Sydney. I’m the proud owner of an FRB Clio RS 200 Cup Trophee. I haven’t done much to it except for the mandatory K+N filter and akrapovic evolution exhaust. Paul from RS tuning will be out in April for a remap.
Renault’s over here have a poor reputation despite what I believe is some of the most bulletproof reliability in a car that I’ve ever seen - my Subaru has cost me 10 times more in repairs yet isn’t driven anywhere near as hard as my clio. So despite this reputation I’ve convinced a mate that restoring and then enhancing a clio 172 phase 1 is where the smart money is at.
The phase 1 is quite a rare beast over here, being a limited edition of 85 examples (his is 6/85) so finding even OEM parts can be quite a stretch. The tuning scene here is limited as well - most tune Japanese turbo’s or Aussie muscle - so finding parts such as cams and LSDs can be even more difficult. If anyone has got CatCams 438s or similar, a suitable ITB setup or 197 brembo clearing wheels (team dynamics 1.2s preferred) and is willing to ship to aus - let me know. Thanks for having me!!
