Clio RS 200 Cup
Hi - picked up a Clio RS 200 Cup (10 plate) Friday. Does/should this model have the audible beep for optimal gear change please?

Thanks Ed - I may just try that tomorrow...:evil:

As above, just before it red lines. These cars reach peak power at the max RPM so give it some welly!

i cant remember exactly but im sure its about 7400rpm, its a good bit higher than a 172 shift light!
if you've only taken it to 6000rpm then you havn't felt the car really pull they go mental the last 1000rpm

I have a shift light in my 182. No beep though.
Can you turn it off !? :S That would drive me insane... especially on track !
You don't even notice it imo!

Don't notice it at all on the road (If I'm honest, I very very rarely feel the need to rev that high on the road!) - If anything I quite liked it when I was on track, was my first time so a bit nervous, nothing like looking a tit bouncing off the limiter lol

you won't blow the engine unless you copy that t**t who drove his 197 at 130 everywhere for hours on end

Never ever noticed this, must try harder on the way home. always wondered what it was for.

Lol I guess because the light is Green we shouldn't worry about it? all the others being red / orange ( Neon Blue in my case ) n all.

I cant believe some people buy a performance n/a car and don't use the engine the way it was intended, my 172 feels sluggish on a spirited drive unless im using the FULL rev range, my 200 was even worse, they REALLY need revved!

Knows. I get that the engine characteristic makes it nicer to drive normally than say a 1.6 Clio but I can't imagine not knowing what a car feels like to accelerate. I doubt I'd buy a car before seeing how fast it gets up to at least 80!

Thanks all. I will report back on my beep experience...
Once its warmed up mine I always explore the rev range. No power otherwise!

Only owned for a couple of days and after owning an Impreza RB320 with a notoriously bad reputation for blowing engines just feeling my way in!

RB320 is the headgasket that fails isn't it due to turbo being too close/hot for it!?
back on topic, as much as I blew a clio 200 engine up, they generally are reliable my 2nd engine was a cracker!

LOL at not going above 6k?!
You've bought a 197/200, but only ever use 180 bhp at the most.
Pointless.
The limiter keeps the engine safe, the revs are there to be used. The beep is so you can use them while keeping your eyes on the road.
Not revving it to the limiter out at least once in a while makes you 100% female. The end.

As with most of you guys I'm shocked u buy this type of car and not even once revved it out lol my 182 loved revs and my 200 is the same even more so with the akrapovic fitted 
live a little lads theses cars are built for it lol
