    AT THrottle Bodies

    The cable throttle was custom built to fit AT bodies one end and a 172 ph1 pedal the other. Never used Jenvey but never had any problems with AT power bodies. Cliosport may be able to offer more advice on Jenveys as it's a popular setup for the earlier clios.

    My Titanium Ph1 172

    Very rare if that's genuine mileage, I'd be tempted to maintain its mint condition could be a real show stopper in 5 years or so.

    I want noisy brakes

    Dump valves are a childish novelty, squealing brakes just sound like the cars a banger to 99.9% of people who don't know it denotes a hard track pad is installed...? I really don't get it.

    Clio 200 or Megane 250....

    Had a 197 for years and now have a 250. IMO it depends what your after from the car. If its a daily ride with some B road blasts and the occasional trackday it'd be the megane as it drives very well and is roomy and refined. The clio would be much better suited to someone looking to do more...

    Oil temperature on race track

    How are you measuring the temp? You would be better off monitoring oil pressure on track as that's what high oil temp will affect, when your oil gets too hot the pressure will drop. It does seem a little high especially for an NA car, my old 197 would usually run around 95-105 degrees with an...

    If you decatted it yes, but I can't see a silencer delete causing any issues. For the books on MPG my 197 was definitely better. On a run I could get 38mpg out the 197 but im barely touching 30mpg on the meg driving like a tart.

    Meg 250 track tyre pressures

    It all varies from track to track to be honest, on Silverstone I was advised to add pressure to reinforce the side walls on the long high speed bends. At Cadwell it was better to drop pressure as the constant direction change and generally low speed means the tyres heat up quick. And where do I...
