    Looking to replace the R888's on the front of my Clio 200, anyone tell me the cheapest place to get some? Camskill and Black circles don't seem to stock the right size, K tec have them but they're very expensive at £188 each. Anyone know anywhere cheaper??

    Clio 200 vs Cooper S vs CTR vs Colt Ralliart

    starts from the back and still cleans up :-) Not even a cup chassis either!

    First weeks impressions

    If you drive the Clio after your Porsche of course it will feel quiet, smooth riding and gutless at low revs! I have an Impreza STI and every time I get back in the Clio after a few days of driving the scooby I'm shocked by the lack of torque and the relative lack of traction. however...

    Do all Semi Slicks sound like Tractor Tyres?

    I have R888s on my 200 and love their performance and longevity on the track. However, I do a lot of miles on the road and hate the tyre roar these things bring. Are other brands of semi slick track tyres any better in this regard?

    Clio 200 Oversteer (vid clip)

    I find the 200 much easier to control in a slide than my old Trophy - that thing used to hop about at the limit, where the 200 just slides smoothly and predictably. The fast and feelsome steering makes it very easy to apply and wind off the opposite lock and the fast throttle response means you...

    Clio 197 Review - Very Cool Driving

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHoRbQP5PnU watch from about 5:11 onwards for the Clio. It's all in German, but basically he's saying the Clio has beautiful steering, great brakes and a chassis that allows you to get absolutely everything from the car. He also mentions that it's extremely...

    Clio 200 Oversteer (vid clip)

    yeah indeed - wouldn't recommend that kind of behaviour on the road :-) Good to know how to deal with it if you do overstep it though...

    Clio 200 Oversteer (vid clip)

    yeah if you provoke them they can be very entertaining :-) A bit more twitchy though of course: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AncDVB4fx0I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHrZm8Ehfqo

    Clio 200 Oversteer (vid clip)

    Usually lift off is enough, sometimes a dab with the left foot to get the front hooked up and unsettle the rear. No handbrake in those vids though - just don't need to in those conditions :-) Anneau is about 30 mins from the Swiss border in Alsace. Whereabouts is Mas du Clos?

    Clio 200 Oversteer (vid clip)

    Here are a few of the more sideways clips from a recent trackday at Anneau du Rhin in France. You can drive the 200 very smoothly and neutrally in the wet if you want.... or you can provoke them into pretty extreme slides :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70c7Nuu3VFk

    opinions so far

    do you have a cup? My non-cup has one touch windows, just have to press them a bit harder to activate it. Ditto, the non-cup has a clutch foot rest. The inside of the renault logo is black rubber for a reason - it houses the locking button on cars equiped with keyless go. There's no 3...

    exhaust sounds great. have you fitted yours yet? so your wheels are now 8 inch wide? what tyre are you using? how does the car respond to the wider tyres?

    my rs 200 white

    nice car mate, I also have a white 200 that I take on the track pretty often, great cars :-) Couple of questions... Firstly, what offset are your OZ alloys? Secondly, how do you find the exhaust?
