    Scenic coilovers

    Not sure? I was hoping there would be a sneaky way around it. Isn't the Scenic platform based on the Megane? It is after all called a Scenic Megane(first model). It even has Megane written on one of the panels. Long shot I know, but if it is the case, it opens up a shyte load of possibilities !

    Best Brakepads From Cold?

    +1 on the CL RC5+ pads. I have been using them from my 2nd track day onwards, as well as hill climbs. Use stock pads on the rear and it will be great for hill climbs.

    Just got my first 172 Cup

    how does your exhaust effect the performance of the clio ? is it really noticeable ? i hate exhausts that fart alot. theres nothing worse than 4 cylinder with a farty exhaust that makes more noise than go. its so hard trying to get perfromance bits here in adelaide australia. they are...

    Clio TT 425 + bhp upgrade

    4wd is better for all round performance. thats what makes the evo8's and sti;s so quick if my car hasnt got lsd why does it spin both wheels when i give heaps in first gear ? isnt that what lsd is about ?

    Clio TT 425 + bhp upgrade

    i always thought the clio sport standard comes with lsd(im assuming lsd is short for limited slip diff right ). im pretty sure they do ! 4wd would do wonders for that car.

    Clio TT 425 + bhp upgrade

    sounds like fun... but seems like a waste having 1 of the best handling cars around being used for 1/4 mile. hows the drive train going to cope with all that horse power over the front wheels ???

    Does Anyone Own A Mk3 Clio Yet?

    i see your point as to be a sleeper. but it can still look like a sleeper if you badge it right. nad if tis going to be heavier like you say it will then maybe a turbo is going to be needed to get that improvement in performance. well at least to improve significantly anyway. why wouldnt i...

    gear changes in my clio 172 2003

    temperATURE mark is around 3/4 mark maybe a touch under when fully warm. bearing in mind i live in austrlia if that makes any diffrence. could be type of coolant used maybe ? seeing as we are on this subject.im baffled as to why renault australia recommends a 172 be serviced every 10,000 kms...

    cup vs type r

    what we need is a clio with honda vtec like horse power why is it that renault produce awsome motors in f1 but cant match honda with its power figures in the clio. i just dont get that.im sure they can if they really want to without any reliability probs. put 154 kilowatts in the clio like the...

    Does Anyone Own A Mk3 Clio Yet?

    why not a turbo little one ? with 4 wd u wont have the problems of torque steer associated with fwd only cars. its the only way the clio will match the evo's and sti's ... and being a smaller car the all round performance would be amazing !

    225 > 172

    bro im running 195/50 15. i will more than likely go for the 205's on the same rim. having very few clio sports around here in adelaide south oz. test drives are hard to come by. its a real b**ch not knowing wot ur buying.

    225 > 172

    im not too fussed as to wether its 40's or 45's. ideally wot im looking for is to fill out the guards. higher profile would probably suit my liking more as it would have a better ride. the bloody things handle awsome anyway. im not going to race it so the handling is suficient enuf. im...

    Does Anyone Own A Mk3 Clio Yet?

    what they need to do is bring out a clio 3 sport with the turbo engine. tweak it a little more. put in a high quality 4wd system and blow away those sti's, evo's and ruffle up an m3's feathers. now that would be everything i wish for...tell me im wrong ???

    french car surrendering u reckon ? would you say they did in the formula 1 this year ? :nono: its not the front wheels tramping bro... i think the original reply in regards to a smoother gear change sounds like the most likely scenario. i will trial it and see what happens. sometime soon...
