Hey guys,

Just thought id write word of two about my new little toy, after selling my r33 this is the only car i actually liked - nothing made me smile more. The beauty of RS Clio.

Done couple of little mods to the car just to differ from the rest :P

So far the list is;

Braided brake lines

Ferodo DS2500 pads

Camber pins, -1.7 Left, -1.4 Right - Toe 0.5mm out Left, 0.5mm out Right (1.0mm total) so much more grip and sharper turn in!

Remus exhaust

Eibach springs

My all time favorite, Mille Miglia HT3 wheels with michellin pp2 rubber!

Samco sport air pipe

BMC CDA Carbon intake - sounds like a wounded animal hehe :(

Various sound system upgrades and very dark tint...

odyssey pc680 battery

Almost forgot, home made front splitter :)

And of course 30hp TOY number plate!

Im sure i missed the little things out but thats how far i got it for now, not finished yet!

It loves to be trashed, and toyed with!

its uh... cute...

haha, looks pretty decent dude, handle well does it?

Straight line speed is not this cars strong point, but to be honest it does keep up with most of the cars.

Handling wise, i already gave grief to couple of subby boys in the hills :P

errr shouldn't you be posting this on a Renault site? :(

Sorry, hate it. Unless you have a vag. But even my wife wouldn't drive a frog car (yes, I know they now own Nissan, but that's not an issue) :P

Why not post it here, im sure many members here dont have a skyline.. at least i had one :)

no offense meant mate .... was just pointing out that surely members of a frog-loving community would have much respect for such a car .... however opinion here may differ. Imagine the response one would get on for posting up about a new Skyline acquisition on a Renault club site - a fair lynching, I would imagine :P

Non taken! Believe it or not, were revving about new GT-R on our forums. Great car doesn't need a specific community to be appreciated thats my point, not talking about my car.

Oh crap, work in few hours!

I quite like it. Friend of a friend has a Clio (sporty one, whatever the model) and he raved about it, as did my friend who drove it. FWD still sucks ass for REALLY spirited driving (I know I own an SP23) but overall looks like a fun package.

Love it - and remember that Renault is owned by Nissan these days, or is it the other way around??

Anyway, if dovla can drive, this froggy girl's car would hand your arse to most Skyline drivers on here through Chain of Ponds :)

Confucius say, "it not how fast yoo go up mountain, but how good you rook getting there"

some little buzz boxes like ur clio can be HEAPS of fun... my bro in law had (till recently) a worked pug 205, i have never been in a car that u can throw at a corner as hard as that. awesome for motorkhana and hills driving.

however oversteer > understeer when u step on the loud pedal

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
