Until you meet a corner?! They don't handle that badly at all!
One of the better handling cars I reckon, even with the oft-criticised 'numb' steering.EDIT: I'm referring to the Type-R... not actually sure now if you were referring to the cornering on your T-Sport or the Type-R!!! LOL!
Clio 172 Cup Mondial
did you rev to redline in each gear?
f**k. My dads old gto had 300bhp (when new) and that thing shifted, I'm scared to imagine what your car is like!
Was it down hill? Makes all the difference.

yes , a little
nearly lol
I'll take the civic then thanks, lol
as i said , i think the car is not 100% dont think my timing is out due to the belts just being changed at swr! and i felt that the car was down on power before they changed the belts. car back to them today to do a couple of jobs for me anyway. ive changed a few sensors and another couple will be done today. if all fails, i will get it on the dyno soon
Stop poncing about changing bits and get it on the rollers as soon as you can, that is if you think it's under power still.

This still going? On paper the civic is quicker std, just adding a de cat and tuner mod is not really enough to knock your 0-60 down. let alone the civic is also better at high ranges, the Civic EP3 beat the Clio 182 round the track on 5th gear so I don't get the fuss sorry, buy a civic and some spoon parts..... Wait it wasn't white with a whale tail spoiler was it? could have been the Mugen edition which is quicker.
If so thats screwed and needs replacing or a full rebuild.
that was my old engine yes! had it replaced recently with second hand 1

Op you were allways going to get that response lol. Not that its any benchmark but i would say my civic is quicker than both of my previous clio's, or i can drive it quicker, whichever. Saying that i am contemplating a return to the clio fold in a couple of months.
When I went round Mike@MWM's workshop the other day he had a civic he was fitting a jackson racing kit and quaiffe diff to, takes them upto around 320bhp apparently on the standard engine, epic stuff for such a neat conversion.

Yeah aparantly they go and handle very well with those two bits.
Inferno 182 & Saxo
They arent at all
Fiesta ST2 MP215
my bother has a 2.2cdti, actually got quite a bit of torque to them. Think it would horse my 182 at top end - but not bothered, as those speeds are the ones that gaurentee to lose your licence. Still prefer the 7th gen civics- type r only applies though
If he get's it chipped via Superchips £299 or the like it will slay the likes of 120D's the torque on that engine is nuts once you get it into 3rd upwards. well worth the money I know a guy whose had it done, massive difference and still better on fuel with normal driving.
Aye i know. Just the way they look. Horrible horrible looking car!
