    What tyres

    R1R + 197 = bliss. Remember taking it for a trash in the twisties after I put them on, felt like playing a playstation game. Never ending grip. Generally, the right tyre for the Clio is the best you can lay hands on. It really shines with a good rubber. If you can get R888, get it. You'll love it.

    Exhaust diet

    As a part of the diet I'm planning for the Clio I'm looking for way to cut back on exhaust weight. I don't have access to RS tuner and there's no shop around that can remap it here so my best shot is just removing some of the heavier parts and replacing them with lighter ones. Any idea where I...

    weight saving

    not sure if you want to remove weight from the back of the car. Could really hurt its balancing.

    Tyre replacement

    Just fyi if you can afford to run something like R1R/R888/any other really decent perfomance tyre you'll enjoy the car so much more. The conti3 are garbage compared to them, never going back to them. Makes a totally different car.

    Standard 197 wheel weight? How much can I save?

    I think the standard wheels look neat but I'm looking for an alternative. Couldn't find anywhere the weight of the standard ones compared to lightweight alternatives (e.g. ultraleggera). How big of a difference are we talking about?

    197 Nimbus detailing kit

    Update: First, great stuff, the peanut butter tip. :thumbup: Luckily, some aggressive work with micro and the spots are gone. I bought megs clay, tin of collonite and bunch of quality microfibers and today washed/clayed/waxed it. The paint is almost flawless (zero scratchs and zero swirls)...

    197 Nimbus detailing kit

    Rick - thanks a LOT for the thoughtful reply. I took your advice to heart and talked with a pro detailer (someone I know in Miami that details supercars starting at $1000, he's good). He also gave bunch of solid advice. I told him the paint came originally with noticeable "orange peel"...

    197 Nimbus detailing kit

    Basically - I want the clio to shine and gloss like a mirror and preferably break bystanders neck as it zooms by. I have plenty of time for detailing. What I lack is a proper kit, so I'm thinking of getting a proper detailing kit. It's a Nimbus 197. Budget is up to 500 pounds. One note...

    197 gotten lazy, air intake?

    ITG panel filter installed! No difference in sound, no major difference in output (I think it added a bit but I don't want to bullshit without a proper dyno test), definitely improved fuel economy.
