I’d be interested in the splitter at the right price

Thanks Sean. Stickers we’re off when I got it. But having also had R26s too I have a love hate with the stickers. For me, it’s just the right amount of special without being OTT. Stickers are about £125 in total for front and back, so not too bad.

Oh, and also had a blinder of a drive over Exmoor last Sunday: Untitled by Darren Jasper, on Flickr Untitled by Darren Jasper, on Flickr Untitled by Darren Jasper, on Flickr by Darren Jasper, on Flickr Untitled by Darren Jasper, on Flickr Untitled by Darren Jasper, on Flickr Untitled by...

A little more tinkering: boot carpet from Ollie Gerrish and boot brace from Young Arthur. Untitled by Darren Jasper, on Flickr Untitled by Darren Jasper, on Flickr Just need to get steering wheel and gear knob refurbished and I'll be happy inside. Already happy outside. So that just leaves...

You can have my standard ones on 102k though if you like

No. Rev counter shouldn’t be yellow. That’s 200 or aftermarket.

“You’re right” It was a one make serious therefore the cars were built to spec, not to the outright best performance. Who knows, or who cares what is the actual best, because at road speeds you’ll never notice the minute difference.

You won’t even notice 5mm visually. Mine are 19mm all round and look great. I’m no racing driver, but the only difference I’ve noticed is trying to pull a quick U-turn the steering is quite heavy. At speed, when flowing, no difference.

I’ve had all three: 225, R26 and 197. Don’t get a 225, R26 was night and day better. Amazing how big a difference a diff and RARB makes. R26 or 197? That depends on what type of car you’re after. My 275/300 R26 was effortless fast, but I think the 197 handles better. Both were running decent...

Where you based Doogle? Spotted Dartmoor, I’m in Exeter if you ever fancy a moorland blast.

Just bumping this back to the top for an answer... Inner and outer rods are the same. Is the rack? If so, I’m just breaking an R26 so will be keeping one for spares!

Coming from a Megane background these engines are showing their age. Three blew in one week on the Meganesport Facebook group recently. My R26 has ringland failure at 250bhp - a basic map on a standard engine. Personally I’d only fit one if it was forged. Or, I’d fit a 250 engine. And, as...

Keep the 250. The 225/230 engine is a bit of a lottery. Yours has far stronger rods and better feeling. R26 is limited on torque by the rods to 300lb/ft and fueling kills pistons. Never Megged a Clio. But had a 225 Trophy and 2x R26s.

Boring update: Powerflexed the two upper engine mounts as the manifold was knocking. Knocking is cured and has been replaced by good vibrations! Surprised at how much more taught the car now feels. Might do the bottom two in time. Untitled by Darren Jasper, on Flickr Untitled by Darren...

The whole lot is off to Chris at BeanieSport to go in to stock for the next Meglio build. Just not mine unfortunately. And to be honest, I think the NA engine is a pretty good balance. I did miss the revs when I bought the second R26! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If i was feeling really silly I should just rebuild the R26 lump and throw it in the Clio. It's even still attached to the hoist! But funds don't allow. :pensive:

Hi Guys Been a RS fan for a few years now, but this is my first venture in to a Clio, or go-kart as my wife calls it. Started out with a ropey 225 Trophy I spent about 3x it's value on. Hybrid tubro, Forge front mount, Ktec exhaust, H&R springs and a few other bits. 275/311. IMAG0558 by...
