walkie86 Posted 16, August 2013 Report Share Posted 16, August 2013 Welcome mate. Yes, to a Motorsport community. Check advanced driving, track day & hill climb section out The Clios are great fun and relatively low maintenance. They don't need any mods to be competitive in motorsport events too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fobzee Posted 16, August 2013 Author Report Share Posted 16, August 2013 Cool thanks Anything to look out for on a secondhand one ? Also, do all clios in au come with the cup chassis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupremeMoFo Posted 16, August 2013 Report Share Posted 16, August 2013 Yep, all 200s were a Cup chassis. Just make sure they've been serviced on time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkie86 Posted 16, August 2013 Report Share Posted 16, August 2013 Not many issues on the Clio 3s. Just check the gearshift is nice (no synchro notchiness) and the tyres (if the original ContisportContact3s) aren't too worn. That should tell you how it's been driven/treated.
