Clio RS 20th mod in Japan

[Masa]

I changed to the 200 Cup rack, the parts are quite cheap, around £450 inc. steering arms, etc. though I got a used one. The difference isn't especially significant.

around £450 !!! Oh its affordable and worth doing.

Given that the steering arms are prone to wear and are around £45 each, plus the track rod ends which you would probably replace at the same time, £450 isn't bad value.

Mine only cost £100 and we did it at the same time as other work, the difference isn't worth £450 in my opinion.

Awesome progress yet again Masa. Cup suspension is vastly better than standard IMO.

Keep up the good work!

 

[Masa]

Today I crashed on the highway :'(




So I cant continue working with my clio :bye2:




but I ordered new one !! :thumbup:

 

[BenW]

Absolutely gutted for you, what happened?

 

[Foxspeed]

that looks proper bent...................:thumbdown:

 

[SarGara]

NOOOOOO!

Please tell me you are buying the car back from the insurance company to use as spare parts for your new one! Did the airbags deploy, or can you rescue the recaros?

 

[Masa]

Its heavily raining.
I went through a tunnel and there was deep water. I lost my tire grip and slipped.
I crashed to the wall both side of the next tunnel. I dont know how many times i bounced.
Four wheels dont rotate and much bent. My dealer concluded they cant repair it. :bye2:

But I will move my modifications from this one to the new one !!!

 

[Masa]

NOOOOOO!

Yes I can use all parts and mods for my new one.
Airbags didnt delpoy because its not front crash and there are no side airbags on my clio.
Recaros are ok. I will reuse them !!

 

[Robo_#1]

Nightmare! Such a shame but it sounds like you've already moved on best of luck with the next one...

 

[Giles]

oh no gutted for you

glad you are ok.

 

[harvey197]

just read the whole thread, got to be the best mods thread on a custom modded clio yet. well done masa, "thinking out of the box" and then to read that the car is a riteoff, gutted!

 

[Giles]

In relation to the Sunglasses holder; No they don't!!!
I have a sunroof and no holder.

Oh I didn't know that. When 197 first came out, I saw two 197 in showroom at two dealer and got sunroof come sunglasses holder.

*sorry late reply*

Gutted for you Massa, you have worked so hard on getting the Clio to where she is, hope you get it sorted soon.

 

[Raptor6767]

[DanT]

Such a shame Masa! Was a very good example of a Clio Tbf. I am gutted for you mate.

 

[ashe]

[Masa]

Thank you for your comments !!
I almost ordered a new one but didnt sign.
I want to see whether clio3 RS Phase3 is coming or not, and what is clio4 RS.
If clio4RS has a turbo engine, I will get clio3RS, because I love F4R NA.

The Clio Mk4 wont be out until late 2012, early 2013. Renault have already confirmed it will be a 1.6T and they will be 5 door only (no hatchback). So even if they do a new Renaultsport Clio, it doesnt sound like something i will want.

There "may" be an end of production version of the Clio 200 like a Trophy but who knows theres nothing confirmed yet.

Personally id get one of these new Angel/Demon versions with the Matt Paint!
