SteveBlackXT Posted 2, August 2011 Report Share Posted 2, August 2011 Hello there, I used to drive a Clio sport cup it was a Silver 172 then moved to a Subaru Forester XT. Finally back behind the wheel of a cup trophee in Silver. Looks like a great forum here, not looking a too many mods after going crazy on the Forester. In Sydney and always keen on a cruise....

walkie86 Posted 2, August 2011 Report Share Posted 2, August 2011 Welcome Steve! So you had a ph1 172?! How does the 200 compare to it? Pics when you can! Keep your eye on the social section too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveBlackXT Posted 2, August 2011 Author Report Share Posted 2, August 2011 Only test driven the 200 but enough to get me back into one. Will hopefully pick the car up in a few weeks. Will not be modding this car, just enjoying driving it Thanks for the welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveBlackXT Posted 3, August 2011 Author Report Share Posted 3, August 2011 Thanks Adrian Forgot to mention the Forester was an auto too...although she did have 160kw at the wheels. Glad to be getting back in a manual. Will probably look at some slotted front rotors, pads and brake fluid...need to find out about bracing too, front and rear strut and swaybars.

Welcome Steve, the Clio 200 is the only car I've owned out of many and haven't felt any desire to mod it. Do you really think the 200 require aftermarket swaybars?

SteveBlackXT Posted 3, August 2011 Author Report Share Posted 3, August 2011 I never modded my 172 and probably won't touch the 200 until I've driven it a good bit. If I was looking at handling mods it would be braces and swaybars but the package as it comes and my recent test she will stay stock for now. I love the firmness of the car and after the starting point with a Forester you learn the thicker the better with swaybars. Will post pics ad soon as I have the car...

SteveBlackXT Posted 25, August 2011 Author Report Share Posted 25, August 2011 So I have picked up the 200, simply love this car. 200K's done and tint booked for the weekend. Ordered some Phillips Silver Vision indicator bulbs and that's the mods completed. Tyre pressure; 38F 36R Factory SatNav Pics over the weekend...

SteveBlackXT Posted 27, August 2011 Author Report Share Posted 27, August 2011 Car tinted and carpets in. 350k's up and loving this car, just wants to keep revving through the range. Nothing over 4500RPM yet Am I right we don't get the multifunction ability in Oz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosey Posted 28, August 2011 Report Share Posted 28, August 2011 Welcome from a silver 197 owner and (still) 172 Phase 1'er. What multifunction are you talkaing about? RS Monitor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveBlackXT Posted 28, August 2011 Author Report Share Posted 28, August 2011 In the manual you are meant to be able to activate a sensor display to show certain car parameters and gear change like a shift light. Talk is that it's not accessible on our Oz cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosey Posted 28, August 2011 Report Share Posted 28, August 2011 Sounds like RS Monitor. The most recent Clio RS's have it. From about Gordini Limited Edition (late 2010) onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
