    Fastest, low insurance Clio?

    I have a 10plate Clio GT 128 and its a great daily for me. Fuel economy isn't the best but its so much cheaper on insurance compared to any RS model. Theres also a 105bhp 1.5Dci diesel GT if you really want to save some money. My 1.6 keeps up with most stuff and with some lowering springs and...

    Impulse bought an old Renault. Whoops

    I didn't think that was worth much think its just a NI plate. Can I still sell that?

    Impulse bought an old Renault. Whoops

    Scrolling through eBay the other day I spotted a low mileage Renault 19 thought it looked quite cool. Kinda left it then earlier today it popped up with 1 hour left stuck a small bid on it and ended up winning it. So now I have a sight unseen 1989 1.4 Renault 19 that I don't need. Anyone had...

    Clio 3 Spring Sizes

    Anyone know when they changed the sizes on Clio 3 front springs? I bought some "facelift" clio 3 springs which didn't fit my early 2010 facelift clio. Is there another size they used or should pre facelift springs fit? The springs I bought were for clio 3s 7/2010 onwards but all the other...

    Relax....it’s a Rover

    not much of a use for those old £20 notes tbh.

    Relax....it’s a Rover

    Always been interested in how these drove would be a interesting daily apart from the MPG it probably gets is terrible. Always wanted a ZS 180 or ZT for abit.

    How many hours to swap an engine over??

    If its you're first time taking it out then I'd say 2 days. You'll find it'll be stupid stuff that holds you up. Eg not having a specific tool or missing bits. When I first stripped down my Levin it took pretty much the whole of two days. Now i've done it a few times it can be done in about 4...

    if someone stole your car!

    In the news reports its just guys that died from the sound of it. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/leeds-crash-all-seven-people-involved-in-fatal-collision-were-in-same-stolen-renault-clio-a3703041.html

    if someone stole your car!

    You have to be 18 to be trialed as an adult no matter the crime. He's gunna be sent to one of those child detention centres until hes 18 most likely. Apparently 18-25 year olds don't go to full prison either.

    Chronicles of #1/29 Petrol Blue 182

    Never even seen this colour before. Looks awesome mate :up:

    if someone stole your car!

    Guess he gets child charges as hes under 16. If this is their idea of a fun night then we haven't lost anyone of significance. Frankly hope it might work as more of a deterrent.

    Clio GT 128 (Why the hate?)

    I wish it was an 86. Nah its a AE111.

    Clio GT 128 (Why the hate?)

    Don't worry I'll probably never have the money to spend on it to do that as I have my Toyota as a track/fast road project and a classic mini that pretty much needs a full resto this year

    Clio GT 128 (Why the hate?)

    Oh yea I realise the differences but ive also just had to rebuild the 4age for the second time with all new bearings, rings and a couple replacement valves in my shed for the second time since its been imported and its only on 80k miles 😂😂 Where as I doubt unless something...

    Clio GT 128 (Why the hate?)

    Yea I'd expect about 140-145 with a intake, exhaust and remap. Its funny to me how I now have 2 1.6 VVT engines. One came out the factory with ~170bhp and one came out with ~130bhp. Doubt I could find any cheap cams for it either tbh.

    Clio GT 128 (Why the hate?)

    As I say thats just what people quote. I'll have to see it to believe it tbh.

    Clio GT 128 (Why the hate?)

    Yea thats the one. I've had quotes on places that say they could reach 140 - 145 with a remap and 170nm from the 155nm it has stock. With a better exhaust and an intake it could probably scrape to 150 which is what I would do if I was going to get it remapped.

    Clio GT 128 (Why the hate?)

    Yea seen how cheap they were on finance. I'd rather just buy outright so I don't need to worry about that. I got the GT for £2000 and its on 69k and got full service history and 3 previous owners. Thats the annoying thing with NAs its so much harder to get gains out of where as with a small...

    Clio GT 128 (Why the hate?)

    The GT has small differences like the seats have alot more bolstering compared to a 1.2 but the rest is pretty much stock interior. I have a friend whos got a ecoboost fiesta and they drive very similar. Neither are quick but I just like the look of the clio alot more and its got abit more noise...

    Clio GT 128 (Why the hate?)

    Yea that would have been pretty easy surely. Most remaps on the 1.2 TCe push it to about 125ps maybe even just putting a slightly bigger turbo. I do like NA 1.6s my other project is a 1.6 NA 4AGE 20v Toyota Levin which is should be about 170ps I will once its on the road got a few bits to do...

    Clio GT 128 (Why the hate?)

    Thats fair. Guess I'll just have to wait and find out for myself :) If I hadn't got it I would never have stumbled on here and never had the interest I do now in having an actual RS Clio. Might even be able to get one by the end of the year if I'm lucky and one comes up at the right price but...

    Clio GT 128 (Why the hate?)

    Because literally everyone round my area that drives a fiesta and is my age is a complete mongo. They have a massive rep round here and within my friends group of being the standard car you see outside maccys with 15 year old girls hanging around them and stuff. I'd never hear the end of it if...

    Clio GT 128 (Why the hate?)

    So I hear its quite a hated vehicle on here. Just wondering whats peoples opinions on them and why they are hated so much. I just picked one up as my first Clio as a more respectable daily than my previous Pug 106 Quiksilver but refused to buy a Corsa or Fiesta (For obvious reasons). So far I...
