KahillOfAus Posted 17, May 2016 Report Share Posted 17, May 2016 Hi all, after a short apperance on the forum last year with our Megane RS265 8.08 we traded up for a BMW E92 M3. Whilst in theory it should have been a big step up in refinment and power it left us missing the raw tingle of a Renault. So last night we picked up another Renault. This time a Clio 197 in black. Something much cheaper to run, easy to drive and harder to crash . The plan for this is to make it a more capable road/track car that can keep us entertained. Planned works are coilovers, seats, harnesses, tune and maybe an Oreca exhaust. Can't wait to get out with the local Melbournians in two weeks for the drive. Finally attached are some picks of the little thing along with the other cars filling up the garage 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cloudy Posted 17, May 2016 Report Share Posted 17, May 2016 Came with the correct spoiler too! Lovely pickup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkb89 Posted 18, May 2016 Report Share Posted 18, May 2016 Nice pickup mate! You are a brave man, owning so many black/dark cars! Just having the missus' 1 black car is more than enough hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shifu76 Posted 21, May 2016 Report Share Posted 21, May 2016 Word of warning on the exhaust, unless you spend time on a track with the engine always spinning up high, the experience of most owners is bad flat spots in everyday driving.

shifu76 Posted 21, May 2016 Report Share Posted 21, May 2016 Minor gains from mods, remap probably biggest bang for buck. Other than that, strip the weight out, coilovers and upgrades to brakes and engine mounts when OE are worn. You'll have a great go cart by then. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk If you're after a VT upper engine mount, I have a near new one I'm looking to sell. I changed all 3 but couldn't live with the NVH, particularly given I have gone to the trouble of installing a SQ ICE system. If it's going to purely be a fun B Road and track car, perhaps you can live with the NVH. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
