Mechanically standard RS Clio?

[Goodj]

So, who's actually managed to resist the peer pressure and kept the mechanics of their RS as Renault intended?

 

[olliewebbuk]

Me.

 

[r516vt]

I have, with the exception of a stainless exhaust custom made to the original 172 Cup format (i.e. single downturned hidden tailpipe). Have owned the car for 4.5 years now.

 

[mantis946]

PH1 RS still with it's bumpers and spoiler it left the factory with so that's gotta count for something

95% standard as it has clear side repeaters lol

Custom exhausts count as a mod. Not OEM.

If I'd done that then the replacement OEM item would be falling off about now, just like the original one did...no thanks

This thread is for OEM-spec car owners though. Yours isn't.

 

[Goodj]

For clarification

I replaced Renault exhaust for Renault exhaust and have had no problems

 

[Goodj]

stainless exhaust custom made to the original format.

isnt an exhaust a "lifed" item or a wear and tear item? just like brakes and tyres?

in that case do you have the original make tyres brake disks/pads, spark plugs, oils?

if your going to be picky

 

[mantis946]

Does my OEM clear side repeaters count ?

 

[olliewebbuk]

Mine does have the original make and model tyres, yes. And proper OEM Renault Dics and Pads, spark plugs and has only ever run Elf its entire life.

Doesn't even have the uprated Dogbone engine mount, when it needs doing I'll replace it with a OEM Renault part.

 

[Tunst]

Wish i hadnt bothered with a stainless exhaust... Its annoying me now

 

[olliewebbuk]

I bought the car with one on, swapped back to stock y0.

 

[olliewebbuk]

Does my OEM clear side repeaters count ?

Is a visual mod. So yeah.

Getting a stainless exhaust purely for "longevity" is as weak an excuse as "oops, sorry I slipped".

Cosmetics are allowed

Cosmetics are allowed

Only because you have them Goodj. :rasp:

As far as I'm concerned they aren't.

 

[dave_rudabar]

Yes, I even put a standard exhaust on to replace the stainless one.

 

[Leeshez]

Me, the only thing i have changed is the Silvervision bulbs.

 

[Zorr]

Me so far - except what happened this morning so coating will not be standard anymore &%^$%

Check the thread title sir

I've already pleaded my case for the (admittedly, poor taste) stripes. I should have just got the garage to remove them in the first place, I did bad.

Yeah, that was nasty.

Spec. Edition motors should, even more than normal-run models, stay as they came

Oh ok, so maybe mine isn't strictly OEM

Presumably you've owned your car from new to be confident that it consists of only OEM parts?

 

[ScoobyGib]

Me!

Don't even have an airfreshner mod lol. Was going to order a panel filter got quoted £95 and I said F that.

Nope. But what I do have is a stack of receipts which is taller than my erect penis.

 

[Revels]

Me.

 

[NickM5c]

Mine is. Picked it up brand new from Renault nearly 7.5 years ago now. It's even still on it's original rear tires!

From my experience, the minute you mechanically modify any car, that's when things start to go wrong.

Standard FTW.

[olliewebbuk]

Right. Now to start our own forum for standard RS owners.

 

[Bux]

Mine's OEM, apart from some Pagid rear brake pads and an ITG panel filter..
