    840 csi

    hi Has any one owned an 8 series BM or thoughts on one. Had a 5 series V8 which was a nice contrast to the Alfa 156 I had at the time. Love the clio but miss the fun/comfort factor of a large RWD, especially in the wet. These are quite cheap and no longer dropping in value, so could be...

    Alternative V6/V8 airbox

    Just wandering why have people mainly gone for the clio v6 box. There are other V6/V8 box from other manufacturers available cheaper/larger and I'm guessing aim is to de-restrict airflow and as long as the hoses size outlets and placement are OK it should work? If fitting these means...

    just plain sacks

    That made my day. Arrrggg Coming to a stop at a t junction i got badly cut up by a 11 plate black range rover sport being driven by a guy who was no older than 22. He made no attempt to turn and cut right across. Instead of excusing himself. He then had the cheek to stop and wind down the...

    blue dials

    Who have you been wasted by so far.

    Just curious who you have been surprisingly been wasted by or been given a good run for your money. Would be interesting to see how well the clio does in real life with some other modded hatches out there.
