Hi guys,
I recently bought a Clio III RS Cup after my Corsa OPC Nurburgring Edition got stolen... Absolutely love the car, but I'm cracking my head on this weird ticking/grinding sound it makes.

It happens from 3.500 RPM and higher, and only on half-ish load. When off the throttle or full on it, the sound is gone instantly. I cannot generate it when being stationary. When commuting and hardly reaching 3k rpm, you never hear it.
The car has a new (or revised) gearbox and also features insane gearbox-whine when off throttle. While I cannot understand Renault thinks this is okay, I believe this is normal on this type of Clio, right?
It steers better than the Corsa and I like the N/A engine a lot more than the 1.6 Turbo the OPC/VXR had, but this sound keeps me from having fun in the car. Accelerating mid corner with half load drives me insane. Any ideas on what it might be?
