Pardon my ignorance, what's ITBs?

Individual throttle bodies.

Search YouTube for Clio on throttle bodies for example.

Or any n/a hot hatch on bodies.

Tell me you don't love that noise !

I'd like ITBs but engine dynamics put me off them. They really don't want me to spend any money on my engine

Put you off ? Really - why ?

Whenever I speak to Engine Dynamics they tell me the 197/200 are rubbish and not to bother modifying it for a road car, you'll just make it worse. The only thing they recommended was megging and they said they can't do this for me

Rubbish hey !

All the glowing reviews must be wrong.....

Haha I guess so. Fair dues to them, they don't seem to just want to take my money if they feel it's not worth it, but it doesn't matter I shall just tune it elsewhere

Good news re MOT. I have no issue with turbocharging, but it's nice that you appreciate the n/a engine for what it is. I'm like @sevenfourate in that I'm a petrol head, but I bought my Clio as one of the last incarnations of the n/a hatchback & I love it for that & the fun to be had in revving it to get the power. I still wouldn't diss you for a turbo/Meg/supercharger conversion though. If I could afford two Clio 3s I'd have both!

Unfortunately will be the very last n/a hot hatch - new tax rise surely will have given manufacturers the final incentive not to ever do another one!


Itbs eh, do your research as it's not just a case of bolting them on, needs basically an entire engine rebuilt to see the benefits of them.

Great news on the MOT Simon, and reassuring to know there'll be no issues with the Akra in the future either! The Meg brakes look super behind those wheels!

It is a huge shame that the N/A engine is slowly dying off, especially in smaller cars like ours. Those emissions regs have got a lot to answer for

Brakes are immense. Literally ! Considering you have 18" wheels - they are large.

So: Have you driven it yet ? Or were the pics halfway through the process, part of a dry-fit or........?
