  renault clio 1.2 16v
I have a renault clio 1.2 16v dynamique 02 plate, it has the following mods
* Induction kit cone.
* single exhaust, aftermarket
* lowering springs
* The shat that connects the weheels at the back have been shortened so when i go over a bump it doesnt touch the outside frame of the car, i can go over speed bumps and not hitting the wheels on the frame
* 16 inch silver dj wheels, 17 spokes.
* 2 10 inch subs, jbl 6 by 9`s and a sony mp3 player.
* new type side skirts.


I am only 17 and i got this car given too me, i am just waiting too pass!

I have pretty much done the standard things people normally do to get the car sounding nice and that little faster in power, its great on handling but the power and speed lack a tad, any ideas on what i could do? not anything extreme :s

Atleast your trying to "De-Chav" it buddy, you can buy non-sport side skirts from ebay and colour code them if you wish, lose the skirts you have atm, lose the wheels, get a nicer set and coilovers, any pictures of the rear?

also remove the rear fin and get a standard ariel on ;) i had one on my car (previous owner put it on) and i removed it, looks so much better now.

arite :L yeah i'll probably start driving it in the next 2 months when i pass my test.soo plenty of time to de chav it :p i dont wanna mess with the wheels cos i havent got that type of money, side skirts and i can get, i might keep the fin bit but if it looks silly then i'll take it off, that spoiler needs coming off aswel, just need to find a really small thin allen key...yeah i'll put a picture up now :D

loose the spoiler and the side skirts and the front fin.

the rear fins alright to be honest and the wheels arent the end of the world, did you say your brother gave you this car? is he a massive bender? lol

naah it was never his....he had a skoda fabia 1.9 sdi really standard and crappy, it was ragged and horrible. he swapped it for this and the guy gave him 100 aswel. when he got it he knew he would have to do stuff too it soo he couldnt be arsed and gave it too me cos i@ll be passing soon. after all the chavvy s**t i have to admit it handles very well around corners, but still renault is never a first choice for me.....its only 90,000 on clcok and its had a new engine that was on 20,000,

yeee, so spoiler side skirts and the top fin? yeah well i got it given to me so im lucky enough at that :L what you driving? any suggestions on best way modifying engine even tho it is a little 1.2. making it lighter was my first option.....

i have a phase 1 172 (2litre RS clio) very good cars mate, i have a 1.2 before that as well

engine mods i wouldnt bother with mate, you wont get anything out of it. dont bother with induction or anything it will probably loose you power

best bets are to make it lighter in whatever way possible then handling/looks etc

on my 1.2 i had : AP coilovers and lowered it. sport seats. hrc alloys. and an exhaust. there aint a huge amount else worth doing to them mate

just dont waste any money on engine mods as youll get no where and could spend it better elsewhere

arite, its got a cone air filter and full exhaust but these were already attacthed when i got it. how did you make your's lighter? is there no point like remapping it or something? handling's the best atm, don't see any point in changing that, should i take out the air filter or just leave it then? they are actually dece cars when you do the right hings lol just been looking at some clio`s for first time and there not bad at all...

i didnt bother making mine lighter lol just made it look nice

a remap is probably the only good performance idea, not sure what gains youll get though might end up being a bit of a waste of money

i hugely prefer the cars on coilovers too standard but its personal preference and whether you want to spend that much

I'm considering getting it remappped, ive seen one that was on a williams clio and he has putit up for sale, will this work in my clio? and how much will it cost to get it fitted ?

its not for your car and its probably a load of s**t mate, i doubt it will do anything if not make things worse. remapping the standard ecu is an idea, might get a bit of power and some better drive ability out of it but its whether you can justify the money for it on a small engine
