mine has since been remapped at rs tuning and I'm happy with the results. car definitely pulls better and the exhaust has settled down nicely. not too noisy at all
did another track day yesterday and no problems with noise and the car was a bit quicker for sure.
An old thread but...
I Had a clio 197 which I fitted some pioneer custom fit speakers to.
Just got the same speakers for my 2011 clio 200 (full fat spec) and there are no OEM tweeter - just blank tweeter mouldings with no workings.
I can't see any wires for them either - I removed the glove...
Well the part came today. Thanks so much to giacomoI won't be home until Christmas Eve but will try and get this fitted as soon as possible.I'm hoping this makes my clios driving position perfect for me.Just looking at the photos it seems excellent quality and very well designed.
I should have bought a KTR, scorpion or yozza with welds that look like pigeon sh!t thrown on with a rusty trowel.
didnt want a melted diffuser and the need for constant adjustment though...
the bits that are MIG seem to be the ends of the silencers and the spigot clamp end
im guessing its due to them either being machine welded for accuracy or because less heat is required with MIG so it will distort less
It would be easy to distort such thin material with a TIG torch so I'm not...
Mig is used on all metals - carbon, stainless, duplex etc.
we use MIG on pipework (petro chemical) just as much as TIG
TIG is neater, MIG is quicker. quality is no worse. you get spatter with MIG which rubs off.
MIG is used a lot in fab shops as its quicker, TIG is used offshore/ on site more...
akrapovic for the clio came today
very nice piece of kit. won't have time to fit it until I'm next home from offshore in 2 weeks though
this thing is in a different league in terms of quality. so far very impressed.
thought some of you might appreciate some photos...
Anyone know a good tyres pressure setting for AD08s on the trac?
how much lower than standard to I set them?
do hot pressures need to be the same front and rear?
just has the OEM conti's on the back and avon zv5 on the front. i will be changing them next week for some AD08 if i can find some for sale anywhere. i may also buy some spare wheels too.
did my first trackday in my 200 today at blyton park.
the track was really good - much better than i had expected it to be and a great atmosphere there.
next on the to-do list are new tyres.

Funny as I think the previous owner loved the jet wash as the back end is full of swirl marks from the brush. Took alot of polishing to correct.
Adamm - I spun it round the block after I dried it and when I got back the wheels were just covered in rusty brake dust!
my 197 used to do that so I...
you might be beter with 5w40. That's what Renault recommend I got 6ltres of elf evolution sxr ready for my car
I will change it tomorrow if its decent weather.
The car was only serviced 5000 miles/ 9 months ago but I like to change it regularly
i will let Renault service it when it reaches...
As I said I will be servicing it before its recomended due date/milage as 2yrs/120000 miles is too long in my opinion.
I change the oil every 6-12 months and I have a few cars so don't do alot of miles.
picked up my new 200 the other day
FF with cup, recaro's, cup spoiler, speedlines, RS gearknob and carbon dash
bought it to do trackdays in - got a few dates booked already
so today i got busy sorting it as i wasnt pleased with its presentation.
today i iron-x'd the car, snow foam and...

clio 197 -
just cleaned my car today and topped up the washer fluid
i noticed a green puddle of washer fluid under the car leaking from the drivers side headlight washer nozzle
its coming from the actual nozzle hole itself, where the water would come out of if the pump was running...
dont give a sh!!t really. not like your ever going to meet them anyway so who cares?
Gorms;
is that a KTR spoiler?
