I found the brakes on mine were better than the 197/200 Brembos on the car it replaced, not sure on the size difference between them but they looked huge!

I dont really get the hype on brembos. Had them retrofitted to my skoda, mx5 and they were on my R26. Didn't find them particularly better tbh. But they look mega and super easy to change pads. Maybe they dissipate heat better?

 

[Adey.]

What are peoples thoughts on the steering, everyone says its completely lifeless?

only just spotted this sorry, nope id say mine is very direct and gives very good feedback, easy to make changes. Not sure if they have some sort of dynamic setting but i feel it changes a touch when im "on it" or at higher speeds.

Yeah I agree, I've got a decent set of pads on my 197 and they are very good, but I've had similar performance from single piston calipers. Very light if your a good enough driver to make the most of less unsprung weight but I'm not lol

If you guys could stop this brembo bashing that would be great, someone's trying to sell enough to feed the kids this month 🙄

Actually yeah to be fair I did only get em for bling and weight saving. So they defo do that at least 😂
For the price can't go wrong, just get bummed on the brackets.

Had my service kit delivered from Opie oils this week using the club discount, will hopefully get on that on Friday. The car was in the garage yesterday having a new front wheel bearing fitted, didn't realise how loud it was, I can now hear the exhaust which makes a nice jet type roar when on boost not sure how much of that is down to the mid box delete. To maximise tuning potential without going balls out with a full system I'm looking to remove the primary cat but leave the secondary in place. Being close to the turbo itll be more of a restriction than the secondary one which should then allow me to still pass emissions at MOT.

I had my second cat removed and also instead of having a full system, had a ghost mod done to it by a place in Telford. This added much needed noise and excitement to the drive.

ghost mod, whats that?

Posts video…. Still have absolutely 0 idea what a ghost mod is 😂

 

[Krarl]

Does the ghost mod mean putting nonceflaps on it?

 

[PP200t]

If you look up d7r in Telford

Posts video…. Still have absolutely 0 idea what a ghost mod is 😂

sorry, it’s a reworking of the backbox internals. Adds a nice amount of noise.
If you search d7r you will see more videos. He has done loads of Clio’s and other cars too.
If I get another Clio 200/220, I will without doubt get it done again.

Yeah bad choice of video really. 🤦

 

[Sash]

Wonder who owns this car now…?

[aldo_87]

The ghost mod... who comes up with these names 😄

 

[Danith]

That's a bit mad about the inlet temps. Will have to follow to see how much of a ballache fitting a cooler is

Funnily I was looking in the front of a smaller engined tce clio and the intercooler looked identical.....

Pipe runs for front mounts look nuts which I might want to change in the future, most of them join up too the oem pipework or follow the same pipe work path. I was looking at the wagner cooler which is an oem replacement but I don't like spending money.....

Yeah Wagner is a bit Overkill. The biggest waste of money I'd spent on the octavia was the intercooler, but all cars are different.

@Adey. you're right about the race cars, we run the standard intercooler on our x98 cup... though we don't see inlet temps as high as yours even without the spray system fitted.

I would hazard a guess that you've got a small crack in your IC as it's quite common with age, or a leaky pipe. Whip the IC off and pressure test it if you can. The plastic boost hose below the oil cap (cold side) has an o-ring inside of it, they're quite common for perishing too. The later caused similar issues for us until we traced it down.

Not too far from yourself so if you need a hand just shout, have plenty of time on my hands between now and CSF

 

[Adey.]

Cheers @Filters great info there thanks ill check everything you have listed. There really seems to be very little on the web about this platform Clio so I may now be pestering you sorry

 

[Filters]

Not a problem at all @Adey. they're cracking little motors once ironed out.

We are having a little time away in a Wales soon and I wanted to use the Clio over the Fabia. Ideally we need to take a roof box for some extra capacity. I had read that a few people had dented their roofs with rails and boxes on the Clio 4 but from searching it seems they were done with Thule bars or other brands. I did a bit of digging and found the part numbers for the oem Renault parts (hopefully being designed for the job) and found a set on gumtree, a few messages each way to confirm they were the ones I was looking for and a deal was done they seem to fit up well, very very close to the paint but we will see how they go 🤞

Just need a basket with some old barrels and a rocking horse and you can go to dubfest in it 👍🏻

number plate hanging off of it too just for extra cool points?

Or buy a car with everything done 😅

You know the parts catalogue on Turbo Renault? You'll find things like this on there 😁

[Adey.]

I did a thing..... hybrid turbo and front decat ordered up, on the prowl for an intercooler now.

 

[Krarl]

Yeah but have you done the ghost mod yet?

If I catch the throttle right I get a "WOOOooo" noise from the filter, is that it? 👻

 

[Clio_fool]

Nah that's the clutch pack slipping.
"hybrid turbo you say? WOOooo no chance pal". 🤣🤣🤣

 

[S-JM]

I always thought the ghost mod was standard from factory, as you can't hear them.

 

[Adey.]

4 new tyres fitted this morning, nothing fancy, went for Kumho ecsta PS71 and opted to step up to 225/40/18. They look like they fit the wheels better and fill the arches a little more.

Staying true to the pikey mods 👌😁

Added a module to auto fold the mirrors, check out the vid

Just had a week away in St Davids on the Pembrokeshire coast, racked up about 500 miles in the Clio, fully laden with 3 kids, the wife, a boot full and a roof rack. The car didn't miss a beat and was quite enjoyable to use, even with it loaded up it wasn't too shabby, quick enough for over takes on the back roads. Only thing to note was a drop in fuel economy, but considering the weight it was carrying and the bad aerodynamics with the rack and bag on top ill let it slide. Its a very good all round car. Just needs a little extra ooooomph for me. Needs a thorough clean out now though, I did hoover after every beach visit but itll need a deep clean in the next day or 2.

 

[Adey.]

So It was my birthday whilst away, nice to come back to some car presents

In there we have a td04hl 21tk hybrid turbo, an airtec cold side boost pipe kit and an engine dynamics 3 inch turbo intake kit. Im still waiting on an RS Performance decat down pipe and im still hunting for an intercooler kit. Should see me good for 275bhp 🤞
