Defis on a Clio 197
Just helped the eldest to fit a set of three Defis on a Clio 197 which has a Megane Turbo engine in it. It's awaiting a remap after having a larger Forge intercooler and bigger injectors, which may raise it close to 300bhp.
The lad and his mate have made their own gauge pod, which sits where the clock and CD player display were. He's doing away with both as he's buying a DAB radio-CD . Can post pics if anyone is interested? |
Go for it. :thumb: I saw a Megane engined Clio in the readers cars section on Pistonheads at one point and the consensus was that it makes for a pretty serious bit of kit.
|
Yeh put some up. lets have a look.
|
yh definitely.. I'd like to see more on this car.
Love Renaultsports. |
I'll do it today, he's out at the mo and the car is locked up.

He and his mate made it from a second hand clock/CD player display, the three Defi gauge cups, and a few hours' work with filler and paint. Once the car is running, it may have gauge hoods fitted. |
Some more pics of the car ,engine etc .
Done a good job of the gauges. |
I'll try, car is losing laquer at a rate, unfortunately.
Cold and wet today....... |
That must be crazy tight fit
|
Nah, looks tighter than it is.
Since it's based on the OE Clio III clock pod, it's a perfect fit on top of the dash. In fact, the gauges are better spaced than three 60mm Defis in my classic. |
Meant the engine bay !
|
Oh...yes, it sure is. He's ripped out the aircon which wasn't working, and the rad and intercooler are on home made brackets.
He was a plater, so found that sort of thing easy enough. |
