Oh how wrong you are Maz.. I've already ordered, but the sales guy said I can change options/colours for 2-3 weeks after! Ugh! I think I'll ask them to hold off so I get a 11 plate :'( Rich

Cheers Jonny.. dealers said it would be an 11 plate!? It seems the longer I have to think about spec and colour the less certain I am about anything! Hmm, might put it off then, buying a new car is bad enough with deprieciation.. let alone buying one just before the plate change. Waiting to...

Thanks all... I've had another spanner in the works today - do I bother waiting until March for a '10' plate!? Seems odd to be talking about something in March when it's still only early December!

Sounds an interesting project.. you'd normally hole a piston by it detonating to death, usually caused by running lean or the ignition timing being off. With a SC and intercooler the air coming in should be pretty cool, so as long as the pistons/con rods and crank can take the pressure then it...

Well, I've put an order into Renualt for a RS 200, so I thought I had best post up with an introduction. First impressions of this site have been great, everyone seems very helpful! I live in Reading, Berks and currently drive around in a BMW Alpina B3S after a few Nissan 200sx's over the...

I agree.. RWD is a nightmare in the snow/ice.. just a slight twitch in the loud pedal and you're sideways before you know it! I thought the 'snow socks' were limited to 40mph or something, making them a PITA if you need to use the motorway at any point. Agreed, something handy to have in the...

i've known a few guys who have leant Tiff their cars for filming, only for him to batter the nads out of the car like he stole it. I also remember poor Simon Norris having to rebuild his engine after Tiff tried to beat the caravan pulling record in the Norris Designs Evo... .. after being told...

I read an article from a RenaultSport guy saying that there will be no new Clio until the end of 2012 at the earliest. He also said they plan on keeping it NA, but they need to look carefully at emissions. I personally think they'll bail on NA and go 1.6 turbo like the Cooper because of this...

I was told by ran engine builder once to take it to a long steephill and using full throttle at low revs was the best way to break in an engine. It pushes the rings into the cylinders more than just caining it. Seen quite a few rr results with over 190 bhp.. I'd be interested to see what...

I wouldn't use silicone if it's a painted area.. silicone will eat through the paint.

Awesome... so it is useful when not showing stats.. I was tempted by the tomtom, but having seen it in the flesh it's a little big for my liking. Planning to get a decent HTC Desire cradle for sat nav now. Roll on Febuary... Rich

Awesome thanks Mike.. does it also double as a display for the stereo? i.e. radio stations, track numbers etc? Also... can it display ipod track names? Sorry for all the questions, I've put it as an option for a clio order without knowing anything about it! :) Rich

Hi all, has anyone got any details on the Monitor Pack for a RS 200? i.e. full features of what it can show? I've seen some vague details on the Megane version, but I hear the Clio one is a bit different. Pictures would be cool too.. there doesn't seem to be ANYTHING on the web, inclusing the...

Damn it must be exciting come collection day!

How much deposit did you have to put down? I've tweeked the spec to... - Clio 200 FF - Albi blue - Recaros - Electric mirrors - Monitor pack - CUP pack - CUP spoiler - Carbon side skirts - Electric mirrors - Cornering lights Latest prices... Cash price ~ £18,151 0% Interest deal ~ £18,651...

hmm, I'll drop the dealer an email again to see if there's any movement..

What I meant is that if you negotiate a decent 'cash' price and then ask for 0% over 4 years, they load the price of the car - or they have with me anyway. Did you get 0% on the quoted cash price they gave you then? I think we were talking about £17.1k cash for the spec I wanted, but by the...

Well, to get what I want on a 4yr 0% from renault I'm looking at about £19k as they seem to load the car price - still saving money over a generic car loan ~7.8% though. Buying a 2nd hand RS200 with a good spec is between £13-15k on a normal 7.8% loan costs about £1k in interest over 3 years...

PM'd..

Yup, I'll be on the hunt for a 2nd hand 2010 car now to save a few quid. Hopefully one will turn up in the right colour and the right spec (or near enough!) Rich
