Hi there, i'm a newbie on the forum.
My name is Ken, I live in Belgium, I'm 27 years old and have a couple off cars. One of them is my RS 200 clio. I bought the car in april of 2016, I had 86000km's and 2 previous owners. I use it as a daily and trackday car. Time for some pictures and spec list I guess :-p

-96000km (01/17)

-Sony radio/usb
-Fully blacked out windows from the doors back
-removed rear seats (better for taxes in Belgium)

Welcome to the forum, very nice looking Clio! Sounds like you've been busy with the mods since April! Akra will be a very tasty upgrade!!
 
Welcome along! Car looks amazing in the pictures :smiley:

Jealous of you getting an Akra, you'll have to get some vids up once it's fitted!

i'm hoping it will, sure is a costly exhaust :excited:

zolder??!!!!

Welcome along

How do you find the RE070's on the 200

I like it. Really good tyre for street and the ocassional trackday even in wet weather. It's not the most grippy tyre out there so compared to Peter's #166 on AD08R's I can't really keep up (did have a passenger on that particular day). That day he lapped about 1,5seconds faster then me, then again I had a passenger onboard. That actually means it's a really good tyre for the price.

I'll be trying the AD08R's next on another set of wheels, and fit winter tyres on the OE's.

SPA is my second home love the place people the atmosphere View attachment 16234

which track events are recommended @ spa? Spa is rather expensive...
 
hmm ... familiar clio. :grinning:

that's not the tyres or weight. that's down to driving skill ... :mask:
with all the mods you've already done and still planning, it'll be a killer clio. zolder sub-2 minutes is really fast for our cars.
