You need to become a member to see the regional meets section. Well worth joining up though.

Don't laugh. Pics as requested. It's not clean in any of them
New rims going on (note the old headlights and engine size badge
New headlights
better pic of the badge...
The engine you all know & love
It's clean in these two actually.
coilovers fitted (haha more like all my stuff moving back home from uni for the summer)
New badge on the side. £1 from a scrapyard!
My sub. Another one (identical) going in when i get round to it. Also have a door speaker amp powering some diamond audio m661 components in the front (had to bodge my own adapters as these are 6.5" when standard ones are 5.25") and some infinity coaxials in the rear. With an alpine 9885r headunit with the direct ipod cable.

Oh right might join up at some point then. Whar other benefits are there? I know that there are some guides and stuff but can't see them being much use as I dont actually have a clio.
Im in aspley but dont hold that against me haha!
Discounts and the for sale section are the best bits after the regional meets. Plus a welcome back and stickers.
I don't have a Clio either but I'm still a member

Lies, you need to be a member to post...or just PM a member to post for you lol.
Hi James. I'm only up the road from you, not far from Kimberley. There's a meet in Mansfield on Sunday 8th August at 5pm, details in the East Midlands section, and some people head up to the Peac**k Pub on a Thursday, these people are chavs though for example Dave88 and Addz...
John - Some of it isn't!! I'm sort of in between the posh bit and the rough bit.
Sym0n - I think I've found your blog on the web and commented on something (but you didnt reply..!) On the vid on your blog i think your baining it down my favourite road round here (b600? )
Cool should be able to make it down to that. Hopefully it'll be working properly by then but if not i'll come anyway i'll just wait til everyone has left so i can try starting it back up again haha!

Im in Stapleford so not that far from you. Think passenger rides are needed in this tbh!
Well the engine was already in it. but it was only 140bhp. when checking on dialogys found that the cams, inlet manifold, exhaust manifold and cylinder head were different engine wise. (and the pistons as the clios compression ration is 11:1 but mine is 10:1) the injectors were the same so i figured it wouldnt cost much to get all those parts second hand and my cylinder head needed a recon anyway.
When it works properly - sure!
It's pretty funny when corsa/punto boys pull up alongside and see the 1.6 badge and have a go.
We'll have to write it a letter to ask it to accelerate though, lol.

LOL sorry, I've been having nowt but trouble with the f**king site and my old server provider. Just moved my server to another provider and data center so hopefully get back to updating it; if I can be arsed. Will have a look for the comment tonight and get back to you. If it's the video I'm thinking of it is indeed the B600 as it's right on my doorstep, a great road (past the res) if you can get on it when it's empty.

To the OP: Welcome
I think its showing a comparison between your old and new exhausts? but yeh great road, a friend and i used to work at the belfry hotel when we were at college and finished at like 3am so we used to have a tootle down lol.
John i'd love a super but dont wanna throw that sort of money at this car (its cost me way way way more than i wanted to get it this far ) plus the suspension would need some serious development work haha.

He'll be able to get it working right in no time and is only in Long Eaton. I have been trying to get him to put a 172 engine in his Scenic for ages and you might push him far enough to do it!
I had a quick look on the website and couldnt find where they were apart from 'the midlands'.
I emailed paul @ rs tuning a while ago and didnt get a response so I thought that he just couldnt be arsed like every other company i've contacted haha but he gave me a call today and its booked in for the 28th.
Im out of nottingham for a few days now until thursday so i may give him a ring and take it down after then so he can have a quick look at it.
Ha - I think it'd have the opposite effect, it runs like an absolute p.o.s lol.

Excellent, the guy knows his Renaults so hopefully it will be running soon
I think people over on renaultonline.net will be interested to hear about it too as a couple of them have the F4R 140bhp engines and we were wondering if it was possible to do what you've done.

Just posted a reply but its not here?
Yeh he definitely knows his renaults he was asking me loads of questions on the phone which is a good sign.
This is why i've had so much trouble with it lol no one (as far as i know) has done it before! I am a member on renaultforums.co.uk and they told me it definitely cant be done, but i suppose its not that kind of forum.

I'm not a massive fan of renaultforums, there's a lot of people on there who know their stuff but I don't think any of them are into modifying their cars.
I had a Scenic for 6 months a few years ago when my Dad was away in Spain and would love a quick one for playing with people at the lights.

Well the car went to Paul @ RS tuning on thursday... It now works properly! Absolute top chaps there knew exactly what they were doing. Turns out both cams were mistimed... despite my mechanic guaranteeing me 100% that they weren't. Just got to go back up for the custom map.
I'm after a ph1/v6 airbox if anyones got one
