Does anyone know if there is a BBS for the Clio 16v, I've just bought an old one to run around in and it doesn't seem nippy enough.

I used to have one of these - a 94M. Wicked little car, gripped like the proverbial limpet. I slapped a Magnex centre and mid section, and a K&N 57i induction kit on it, which made it sound like a spitfire - I liked it, others didn't. What it did do was give the car more torque (something it sadly lacks - about 113 lbs/ft at 4500 revs I think!!!!)and at high speeds say 95mph (on the autobahn...) the ram effect ment it puled like a train. But it was LOUD.

You can superchip them cheaply, so for about 500 quid or so could gain an extra 20bhp maybe, not sure about torque, but definately some. Other than that, there are loads of places that sell racier cams for them, or even turbo kits for serious grunt.... I always thought the brakes underpowered though.

Finally, a warning. Renault garages are $hit. Worst service and highest prices you can imagine. I kept having my wingmirrors knocked off - at a cost of 120 quid plus to replace. Somebody reversed into me - new bonnet 650 quid including fitting! Also, front tyres lasted about 15k max. Still, I loved the thing to death - my first performance car.......

No idea about a bbs though. Hope the above helps.

Enjoy

If there is, can you get me Nicole's phone number?

 

I'd give you her number but she's washing the car at the moment and I don't want you interrupting her.

Phil.

PS How'd you know my Gran's called Nicole.
