If you want shock factor, I'm going to assume you're a 13 year old girl who cuts her own hair and dyes it pink, therefore you shouldn't be driving anyway...
:rasp:
Most people will think it's just a 'normal' Clio anyway. Leave it to those who know, to appreciate it. Unless you stuff Skyline running gear into the thing, and turn it up to 11, you'll never get proper "shock factor" out of it.
It's a French car designed for girls for goodness sake man (sorry, 13 y/o girl) !

ClioSport 172 Cup
You didn`t research when you bought your 197. Renault already have a very quick accelerating clio, its called the 172 Cup!

Oi thats what I want to do to my 172 Cup!! Chevy Big block, RWD.
This, you can do anything if you have the money.
Rusty Cup
265bhp for 1500 quid

1500 quid spent on the clio might take 0.5 seconds of your 0-60 def not worth it if all your after is a fast clio.

Cams itbs if you're still not happy buy a Leon and up the boost so that Barry can flick his fingers in respect at you.you've got a small car with 200bhp give or take, its aleady going to give the wtf factor. If you want to really get people's attention you need boost. Then you can brap yourself to death.

Or you could just do a few laps in a GTR and realise you're wasting your time unless you want to spend 14.8 million on testing and development. Just a thought
Rusty Cup
He could get ktec to supercharge the lump the sell it to buy an itb'd lump?
Sounds like a good business that, BRB

197s weigh a s**t load!
Strip the hell out of it, that'll make a reasonably big difference.
And it's free!!

Cheers for the heads up.
I wasn't left much choice with the general attitude towards my questions, was I?
I came here on a recommendation. With my initial question and replies I was originally nothing but polite.
It's not like I came here going "yo yo boizzz I wz finkn of puttin a masiv muffla on ma 1.2. du u guyz no a safe mechaniz? safe yea!"
Yet still got a load of crap of people.
Therefore, it was a case of if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

I hope my family and friends forgive me for this... I'm also probably going to lose my job at KFC now.
The forum is useful and can hold a lot of answers.
Problem is that it sees a lot of the same quesitons every.....single.....day and as such the attitude gradually turns to trawling.
Anyway, in conclusion, don't worry about trying to tune the engine up on this unless you've got plenty of spare money and nothing better to do with it. Enjoy it for what it is.

Yeah man, I can understand it but. Unfortunatley, that is no justification, however.

what are these justifications you keep going on about?
That's where the text lines up on both sides of the page IIRC.

Personally, id save the cash and take it to a track day - as the others have mentioned, there is no real value for money way of tuning these to considerable gains - boost/throttle bodies are going to cost 2k+ (I would simply argue here to get a phase 1, strip it and tune it - but then im bias
) and keep yourself a 197 you can sell on.http://www.k-tecracing.com/categories.asp?appid=3 For some ideas.

Join who? Yourself? Ask a daft question get a daft response. Great big galah. Incidentally, you'd of been better off just reading what's already been covered time and time again. Instead of being a lazy tit.Troll your own party why don't you. 10/10
Always makes me chuckle when people refer to power increases from cams or bodies etc as "at the top end and no good for acceleration"
Surely the top of the rev range is where you are when you are accelerating hard isnt it? Or do people try and do 0-60 these days by setting off in 5th?

These modern "small cars" arent as light as you'd think.
A clio 200 weighs only one fat bird less than the original sierra cosworth did for example.
Apologies for the "Tiff" moment where I mistook 5th gear for top gear.
Torque curve dependant really.
