well im taking it in px for my s14a 200sx running 320brake so its got to be nippy, i've never driven one, what should i be looking out for?
just old age to start. plus maybe poor maintenance.
then tune the balls of it.
to be fair i havnt owned loads of good cars
but it is the best and quickest up to now
cant imagine what 300bhp feels like if mine is roughtly 130bhp or summat ?
but it will deffo put a big smile on your face
its 1 to own at least once :)
btw i have left mine as is and i dont think spending big bucks on mods is worth it
maxiboys is the ultimate in tunning i reckon
cant wait for the vids m8 :)

i'm thinking a new exhaust mainly for cosmetic reasons and a lil growl, and a panel filter.
then replace plugs and do the obligatory oil fluid change as with any new car, new set of toyo's and away i go. cant be any worse than 250 miles to a £60 full tank!!!!! :shock:
i'm all excited now!!!!!! time to get the valeting kit out me thinks 8)

Done the same thing... I feel so sorry for you (well with a valver and a 280bhp s14a).
I would say keep it standard. It will prob be worth more later on :)

I had to do a simular thing, traded down from a 290bhp Celica GT4 to a valver, then a Hybrid due to stupid fuel consumption. Don't think you will be disapointed. You get a lot rawer experiance with the clio as they are so light.
Proper good fun :twisted:
Yeah they are fun in the bends (and given a good surface they stick like hell)... but unfortunately don't have the out and out balls of a 320bhp engine.
That's me though :)

just get it and see how you feel bout it mate. I was new to the clio game before I got my williams 3, was intending to mod the hell out of it. But after a few weeks I felt id be ruining it, so I've kept it 95% standard. Just see how you feel mate, Ive grown attached to mine as it is mate..

Yer i know what your saying, nothing like a bit of power :twisted: especialy when it's boost fueled! Nothing quite like the rush and the noise for a turbo.
I will be back there one day! When i drasticly cut down my millage!
Don't think you can get much better than a Clio for a fuel efficentish, cheap bit of fun though!
I have been VERY surprised how fuel efficient clios can be, it's the main reason I've actually kept the car even given its host of problems I have had to fix to date. (Or reworded, given the amount I put my foot down, I'm immensely surprised it returns a minimum of 35+ mpg :) )
If it had more guts and didn't have a idiotic cable clutch setup, I'd enjoy the car a whole lot more. There is no way the clutch is meant to feel different or have different biting points every time you touch it!
Matthew
Oh, I would say that I would like to take the clio for a track day. Would be a really good car to fling around a track. It does have superb handling.
