Yep, Clio turbo has been replaced by a Fiat Coupe 16VT

you know my thoughts mate :wink:

:) Clio project was finished. All it was doing was costing me money in spare parts. Time to move on, y'know.

[clio_rsi_turbo]

nice mate, i'll have to pop over and take a look sometime. :D

[schakal]

i really like that dashboard mate :P
what does it feel like to drive compared to the clio ?

[kj16v]

Comfortable and grown up - and chicks dig it! Not fast enough though. I think a lightly tuned Williams would see it off. Ah well, with it's HF Integrale engine that should be easy to remedy. :wink:

[white16valver]

Will you be fitting wheel trims like on Top Gear? LoL

[Coops]

faf, bodecia spikes ftw :wink:

lol yeah that was awesome :D

[jamesy]

my mate has two of these,a lightly tuned black 16v one which is for sale and a 330 bhp 20v turbo one,which is fast as fook.
i do like them,apart from the dodgy bonnet hinges ,i wouldnt want to put my head underneath with it reating on them hinges.lol
i like it mate.

Think these are mint... contemplating a 20vt next!... Very nearly almost bought a yellow 16vt last year! I heard the handling is a lil woeful though?

[kj16v]

I'm no expert with handling but I think it handles quite nicely. Tries to understeer round tight corners, but if you "man" it up and press the throttle harder, instead of understering the factory LSD reels it in. Means you can take the tightest of corners with no skill. Just steer and foot to the floor.

It's definitely no Clio, but then it's a heavy Coupe saloon. Id say it probably handles better than any other comparable saloon.

As for not being fast enough. I found out this weekend that it was only on base boost. Soon sorted that out!
