    Which tyres?

    The Hankooks are quiet and durable with decent grip but the Contis are still better when you push the car really hard.

    Click noise after releasing clutch

    Both my MK3 Clio's have had this. It's a spring that can be lubricated so it goes away. The dealer should do it under warranty.

    How much oil did you use during run in?

    You hit anything more than a minor pot hole at a bit of speed and it will go out. Deep man hole covers that have not been raised with a new road surface or mashed up road that bangs your suspension will put the alignment for sure. You can always tell, the car pulls nice and smoothly...

    How much oil did you use during run in?

    Nah mate you ain't weird. Tyre pressures do go down, especially if the tyres get hot regularly. I get my tracking done every 3-4 weeks and tyres done every 2 weeks. Any tyre that's not right will affect the handling and enjoyment of the car. As for oil, yeah you should always check it and...

    How much oil did you use during run in?

    Mine never goes down, I change it every 6k though and use Shell Helix Fully Synthetic. I've found that if you use 99RON fuel and always warm the car properly you never burn oil.

    whats the best super unleaded?

    I've done years miles upon miles in the Clio Sports. I totally agree with this. V-Power is by far the best fuel, as was Optimax before it.

    How many of you have HID lights ??

    Cheers bud, I just missed this. The order is being shipped and delivered next day. Not bad for £66. I'm confident the kit is gonna be really bright. Did you go for 50W 6K? I had 50w 6k on another kit it was like having flood lights on the front of the car and very useful for avoiding...

    How many of you have HID lights ??

    I'm thinking of replacing mine with these. They are 50w 6k. I have 200 projectors, I think the fitment is H1 for main beam. http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/hid-conversion-kits-50w/h1h3h7h1190059006-hid-kits/supervision-50w-single-beam-hid-kits-p-283.html Can anyone confirm if 50w H1 is ok for 200...

    my clio 200 booked in for exhaust and remap

    A car that makes 16bhp would have been down on power. You'll never see a strong F4R making these gains as there is a limit. Also 200hp is achievable if you run the car in properly. I was asking if the post mapped ecu is adaptive to physical changes within the engine. If you look on other...

    my clio 200 booked in for exhaust and remap

    How do you explain that? If this is a custom map and the engine isn't physically capable of reaching its full potential. Is the map adaptive?

    Gearbox differences

    The 200 gearbox is a lot smoother, gear changes are slicker and you never miss a cog. I've had both cars and could definitely notice a difference.

    my clio 200 booked in for exhaust and remap

    Nice system. Have you not thought about running your car in properly before having it remapped?

    Xbox 360 Wireless dongle alternative??

    The only way is the two options I gave you. 3rd party wireless USB adaptors do not exist.

    Would supercharging 197 change the Renaultsport landscape???

    It's definitely going to be lighter and better built. Just like the Megane 250 is. With the reduced weight they'll probably be able to play with the gear ratios to get the same performance but improve economy and emissions. 0-60 will stay the same. It's a super mini and has been the same for 12...

    Would supercharging 197 change the Renaultsport landscape???

    The myth that they don't make their power is bit of a tired story. I've owned four Clio RS and they do make their power BUT it takes approx 18k to fully run the F4R in. The engine also needs 98 or 99 ron to achieve that. There are lots of examples on here of 197's that have had their miles...

    Would supercharging 197 change the Renaultsport landscape???

    Renault have already let it slip that they will be sticking with N/A for the next generation Clio RS. In all the years I have driven the Clio RS I'm not at all surprised. It's likely will be little or no more power (simply due to emissions and fuel economy), BUT the improvements will come in...

    Would supercharging 197 change the Renaultsport landscape???

    Agreed, or get an R26 and stage 1 remap :)
