Lower arms? You lost me there.

I assume that the Japanese have produced good mods for the clio. They are awesome at that stuff. Shame I can't read their language.

Hey, I love my limited edition!

But been honest they do more limited editions than Saw does sequels. In my opinion a limited edition should be different as in more power (20bhp extra would suffice) and make it look different. The only difference mine has is the stiching on the dash and the badges. Pearlescent paint, black roof etc etc are all options you could get on an average 200. But hey they make money this way.

Australian Grand Prix Edition (OZ)
20th Anniversary Edition (mine )
Gordini
Rumoured: Silverstone GP edition...

I'd assume rs and renaults are quite rare in japan

^not really, they're quite popular infact (well more than you'd think)

 

[Gally]

Hmm need more info.

It would be interesting to see if they have been able to get more out of the engine tuning wise. Seems that these engines are not very tuner friendly but the Japs are the undisputed kings of modding.

Cant we reach out to some one who might have a clio rs in japan then?

 

[Munson]

If it has the monitor, does that mean it has extreme mode?

Yup.

Faster round the ring than an RS, FYI.

I like what they did with the front suspension arm, how much did they raise the balljoint by, and is there a relation to the amount of lowering?

probably stupid, but why not just bolt the balljoint to the top of the armn instead of the bottom, or the shape not flat (hard to see in the pics.

It's quite normal for Special Editions to come out when a model is nearing it's end and a new model due.
The idea is, if new car buyers wait for the new model then the company will be left with a large surplus of old models. Ford seem to do this quite a lot.

This might sound strange, but i didn't come across many in Tokyo, as i did in a tiny city like Kyoto!

Thats not strictly true now is it? :/

no doubt the japs are pretty awesome at what they do, but most of the best jap cars I've come across have come out of the US. (usually tuned drag cars etc).
