Kit is ok but for trimming the belt i Need to cut one wrench.

Nice car. Good work. Are they know as a 169 in Germany then?

 

[william...]

Thanks!

No its known as "Clio RS"

169 is because of we have DIN Horse Powers. 124kW are 169hp in Germany...

 

[volymmannen]

Nerver heard that, but in sweden they are rated at 172 and other countries 169, but they have the same Kw
