    Potential Return to Clio Ownership

    Hi all, After a number of years away I'm thinking of going back to clio ownership. I definitely miss the grin factor which the old 197 put on my face every time I drove it. I used to own a 197 (R27 #427) which I bought new and sold in 2010. I've since had a Phase 2 Clio V6, Nissan 370z and...

    Great thread on Pistonheads

    I thinks its going to have over 2000 bhp once the boost is turned up. Mental. Turbos the size of dinner plates! There was another good one about someone who had put a rover V8 into the back of a VX220.

    Adding Amp to factory HU?

    Yeah he's got the anthracite bits. I know what you mean about the HU. the one in my R27 was upgraded apparently from the base spec but it was still pretty weedy. The one the vee is worse still. Although the noise of the engine makes up for it!

    Insurance quote *shocked*

    I've just got a multi car policy set up with admiral for my V6 - £600 for the year, im 26, 3 yrs NCB (the V6 is group 20). Seems well worth a look if you have more than one car in your household.

    I didn't take the decals off - I decided when I ordered it not to get them put on. Sorry! Didnt have any major problems with the car really. It had the cold start fix/remap done by the dealer which also slightly improved the pull from the engine at lower revs. It had a new front...

    from fiesta thread

    They could well do, just cant see them haning on to the 2-litre NA when a smaller turbo offers same/better power, lots more torque lower down the rev range and for lower emissions. To be honest, i'd rather they didn't because I like the character of the high revving NAs but it seems to be the...

    180BHP Ford Fiesta ST

    I bet the next RS clio is a smaller capacity turbo/supercharged engine, its going to be the only way which car companies can meet emmissions targets / improve fuel economy whilst keeping decent performance.
