This is superb!

HI, yeah its a 200 I've modelled. I haven't touched this for pretty much the last year, work and the other half wanting the garden totally redesigned has kept me busy and I haven't even driven my clio since January..... Thankfully that will change in the next few days. Hopefully get a bit more...

Think I saw you again today at inshes roundabout, had a miserable morning at work and getting a wave actually totally cheered me up for the rest of the day so cheers lol

yup that was me, seen your car from a distance before, looks great with the spoiler. you made me very happy letting me out, can take a while to get out of there lol thanks!

HI, I can do any angle no problem. The model is still a work in progress, but I was also curious when you asked so I have mocked up a similar setup. I think you are correct in that the bulk of airflow still is following the shape of the car, although you can see a definite difference in the...

I would really like to know this aswell, I'm looking for top mounts to go with my kw v3's. I've emailed compbrake, they want me to send them some measurements but haven't got round to taking them yet. They look like they will potentially work, will be a pain having to drop the strut to adjust it...

Just an update as I've been continuing with this, managed to do a lot of rebuilding of the model I bought, found it was almost completely wrong, so now have a much better model, which more accurately matches the real car, my neighbours must wonder what i'm up to constantly measuring random parts...

They were on the car when I got them, but I believe around 4 years, it looks like the coating has come off around the bottom and its corroded and failed. The other side isn't nearly as bad, but the coating has splits in it and the corrosion has started, I'll sort the fronts and get a look at the...

Hi, one of the front springs on my kw v3's has snapped, just wondered if anyone had dimensions of the springs so I could cost alternatives. Going to call KW uk tomorrow and see what they will cost from them. There must be some irony in the first part to fail on my French car being the part...

The exhaust with its two exits is not pointless, it will and does have an effect on how well the diffuser works. the quantity of that effect is up for grabs but it does have an effect.

I was following one of these for a short blast a couple nights ago, straight line there was no difference between it and my 200, cornering and under braking my clio was in a different league cornering wise which will be partly my coilovers and geo setup, and partly due to the other driver being...

will be testing at a spectrum of speeds, and trying out different positions for the wing as it might be possible to mount it slightly differently for different benefits. The biggest task I have currently though is to keep working on the model, I bought a model to save myself having to build it...

really amazing work! everything just looks so well thought out!.

no it shows quite a lot of difference if you are able to interpret it. The speed of the airflow through the diffuser is higher with the wing than without, and as the point of the diffuser is to accelerate airflow as it moves through it, this makes the diffuser more effective. The coefficient of...

not being able to find any info Ive done a bit of playing around to learn more about the effect of the wing. Wings and spoiler do different things, this page gives a good explanation of the difference. http://oppositelock.kinja.com/wings-spoilers-youre-probably-doing-it-wrong-1665312667 I'm...

is it a wing or a spoiler?

I'm not sure, I just said wing without giving it much thought as its shaped like an aerofoil.

Hi, have read several times that the clio 197/200 cup wing does nothing other than add drag. Would appreciate any info people have on this as my car has the wing, sources, facts etc, so would like to know if its worth it or not.

Honda have since the days of the ep3 gone from being a company who make great driving experiences, to a company which are great at engineering, and PR with the latter being the most prominent.

yeah not keen on them myself but each to their own. I've no doubt I will have further encounters with this person as they stay on a street just a bit further up the hill from me, I've seen them pulling out of the junction at totally inappropriate moments, and using the drop off point outside the...
