Awesome build, THE one I look up to when I'm doing my own project!
One thing that I'm finishing doing on my car (mainly because of the MS2R standalone ECU) that would be a great addition to this build would be a fully custom wiring harness with Helagaine braiding:
BTW the battery...
There are some problems with shipping to Brazil.
Firstly we have to send the items using DHL or UPS, because normal mail (Royal Mail, USPS, ParcelForce, etc) take up to 4 months to be cleared by customs. A grille costs around 80 pounds to send via DHL.
Secondly, the taxes. We have to pay 121%...
I'm in Brazil and we didn't get the RS Clios. I had to build my own, importing parts, paying 121% tax, etc...
Some parts I got for the engine:
- Catcams 421
- Wossner forged 84mm pistons (12.6:1 CR)
- KTR forged rods
- Formula Renault inlet manifold
- Larger throttle body with TB spacer
- Full...
1 pound is around 2.8 brazilian reais. So just divide the price by 2.8.
Brazilian roads suck. My bumper and splitter are ripped in less than a month lowered with the KW V2 coilovers. When I get the RS body kit I'll probably make a mould and use the carbon fiber copies as I know they'll be...
Yeah Rafa, it's the one from Run4Fun. Probably the only streetable Clio 2.0 16v in Brazil and the only one with a whole lot of RenaultSport/Wossner/KW/KTR/CatCams parts :)
There's a build thread of the Clio and my widebody EG6 @RacingArt.com.br, with almost 750 posts and 37.000 views :) Kinda...
Even my KW V2 couldn't be legalized here in Brazil. Neither will be the engine modifications, rear disc brakes, OEM Clio Sport HIDs, etc... I can't even insure the car! In my case I don't care about these laws and 2 of my cars are very low:
With the old headlights w/ BMW 760iL projectors (I'll...
Hey Demi. I sent you a PM some time ago, did you get it?
I looked at mercadolibre and mercadolivre but couldn't find the parts... I'm trying to get the whole RS bodykit (front bumper, rear bumper, both fenders/wings, both skirts) and don't know yet if it would be easier to get from the UK or...
Haha!
I can't forget to mention none of this could be accomplished without the huge help of a great guy in the UK that had a lot of headaches getting stuff, storing, shipping and helping me decide what to get (and it's far from over! Ha!!!)!
Thanks a lot Andy, when you come to Brazil I'll...
Wow I just bought the solid mounts a few weeks ago and it got delivered to a friend's house in the UK last friday! And I paid 149 for them (on a 1470 pounds order including KW V2s, braided brake lines, bearings, poly bushings, etc...)!
That sucks for me... but I do like the old golden...
Thanks! I just decided I'll get the KW Variant 2 instead of the Weitec or KW V1 as it's better to buy good things once than "not so good" things many times!
As soon as they arrive I'll take some better pictures and post here!
Yeah, and it's the same price as regular gas (it's 30% cheaper, but the car also uses 30% more of it... but you can run higher boost or compression ratio and get more power)!
Hello,
I registered here a long time ago but never posted. In Brazil, Renault only sold Clios with a 1.0 8v/16v and 1.6 8v/16v engines, and I always liked the Clio RS so decided I'd build one myself with the parts I could (as I couldn't import one because the taxes are extremely high, more...
