Please get rid of the ice setup.
And spent the money on the engine chassis and brakes.

Nice motor. Dont see many clios with the power sunroof. I think that is a nice option to have. It may chip to 105hp as you say, and that would be a spritely little car then. Probably get 50-75Nm torque extra also...

Clio's have good stock brakes, so no need in spending money on that part. And the suspension, well it has good handling, and from what I've read they aren't the easiest cars to setup properly. + this is a daily driver, so why would I want to trow away any comfort?


Transam, I hate that sunroof. It rattles. They all do in the clio's, and it only starts after 2 years orso. There is a kit that fixes the problem, for about 2 months and then it's back. So I leave it closed.
You can't do any decent tuning in belguim.
Glad i live in the netherlands.
Yes i mean the engine out of the 172 or 182.

Buying a Clio Sport 182 directly would be cheaper and surely more reliable
But it would make a great sleeper.
