I would get a cliosport sticker for it, as this adds 25bhp

 

[clio newbee]

I had a clio 16v about 10 months ago and I did join cliosport, so I still should be a mamber..????

Im sorry, but I strayed away from clios.......am I forgiven..????

 

[Bubbles]

Well.. you came back.. so thats something i guess.. dare i asked what you strayed too?

 

[JillyB]

Bubbles you floozy!

 

[clio newbee]

MR2 TURBO..

 

[Bubbles]

floozy? jilly dont be mean

 

[BigBoreBri]

1st thing is to get a green filter bolted on!

Then sort out all the rattles, then once the exhaust falls to bits buy a full stainless system.. Dont mean to put u off but u said ur self u had french cars b4, LOL

If ur gonna get one tho make sure its got warranty, if its a import like mine your gonna get the full run around from RENAULT

[clio newbee]

well, hello girls...????

and thanks for the tip BigBoreBri.

 

[clio newbee]

just got fed-up with it, Im thinking of getting either a clio 172 , focus 2.0 , Subaru impreza wrx sti or a A3 turbo...?????

and Im from Stevenage.

 

[BigBoreBri]

No worries mate, always here to help fellow enthusiasts..

And theres a 2001 MK1 172 exclusive model in the back of EVO this month, 10/172 made, scarab green, 30K 180+bhp, for just under 10k!

Looks smashing but down near london me thinks...

 

[mikeherts]

Hi

Scooby would be the only better one if you like them. Or you could consider an S3 Quattro instead of the 1.8T Audi. Focus not in same league really

Im not too far from Stevenage

 

[clio newbee]

Id love a S3 Quattro but I dont think I have enough money, where are ya then.......also I do love imprezas

 

[clio newbee]

got to go now....big brov on.....I know...sad........sorry...! ! !

 

[mikeherts]

Stortford, but Im out Stevenage way quite a bit sometimes.

Have you tried a 172? Coming from a turbo, youd need to get used to N/A power. I came from a turbo and its taken some getting used to!

 

[clio newbee]

I know its catch 22, I like the clio 172s , but the impreza would be a nightmare to insure,
