Re: All White Now...NOW FOR SALE
Well this is my 2008 Glacier White Renault Sport Clio 197...Had it on AI Autosport's Rollers and it made an impressive 203.6BHP

Just wondering how to remove the rear wiper on a 197?
It seems ot be riveted in place form the inside behind the plastic trim?
I tried today but left it for fear of damaging something!
Anyone done this on any spec clio 3?
Help!

Cheers folks! Not a whole pile done to it since thread resurection....
CAT went back in to get rid of the flat spot and its helped alot. Car is much more driveable now but flat spot still present under certain throttle positions.
Car also got new rear custom springs and the whole lot raised up...
Yup its left hand drive....
The background was one from the VW Golf W12 650 concept images. Luckily I had my car at the same perspective so I chopped it on....worked ok I think for a 10 minute chop!
They are both very different animals and not much in them performance wise.
Its the noise that gets me every time I drive the V6. Its all pure engine rather than slip on exhausts etc as on the 197. Midrange torque (300NM) and a top speed of 150 gives it some advantage of the 2.0 litre clios...

The 197 can be turbo'd - speak to Yozzasport. Apparently the Megane Turbo fits in as they share the same block albeit with different compression ratios.....the exhaust manifold is the same as well but you need the turbo manifold adapted to the 197 to make it work.
Bear in mind the Megane Turbo...

Just found this thread and read through it!
Great stuff mate! You've done a a great job!
A few comments - respray the side badge bullets in OEM satin silver just to break it up a bit
Get your centre dash console around the stereo etc sprayed the same black as everything else.
Strip it...
MPG hasn't changed - still crap.
I haven't actually had the remap yet - Henk has just been trying various calibration files to sort the flat spot. We are on Cal no 6 now!
Once it is sorted and running well he said he will try to release a few more ponies higher up and low to mid range torques....
I assume by the centre console you mean the large plastic tunner that houses the gear lever and handbrake and runs back between the two front seats?
I'm sure it would fit in but have you got a spare £700 for a new one???
Leave your car the way it is. It isn't a V6 so why waste stupid money on...
