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

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 :)

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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛

      Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol.

      I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
