I Broke The Owner & The Car 😅 Renault Clio R.S. // Nürburgring

[@michieljansen6633]

Thanks for the experience ! First of all My face 😅 you blew me away didn’t know this was possible Yess the st-suspension was to soft and cooling issues But these things will be fixed . See you next year !

[@luca98minecraft]

ST-suspension to soft? Really? I has the same coilover on my Fiesta ST and they were hard as steel.. I changed them out of desperation

[@JONACAN]

Not really.

[@fasttracklap8480]

it's not too soft, it's too low. maybe soft, i can't know exactly since I'm not in it, but i would lean more toward saying that the scraping is because of it being too low than too soft. i mean the softness or the hardness of the suspension play a role into how the car turns in, if the turn in is good, as misha said and is quite visible through the video, i wouldn't say softness is an issue. you could still tweak it a bit and make it a bit more hard, but you need to jack it up a bit first. the cooling issue is to look after as well. nice car man 👍

[@bane2]

Misha should have a questionnaire he gives people before doing a lap. "Is your engine modified for more power?" followed by "If you answered 'yes' to the previous question, have you upgraded the cooling capacity of the vehicle?" and ending with "Have the brakes been upgraded to handle additional heat from repeated hard braking?" Great lap as always, these kids were amazed that a Clio could hang with much more powerful cars on the track. Once again proving that the greatest mod is a driver mod!

[@jethrox827]

Do you drive around with a fart tune to impress your mates? Do you think suspension is not important when you spend all this money on a down pipe, brakes and flash tune? Do you think estimating HP at the crank is anywhere near real wheel HP?

[@tristanfloris9970]

"Does it have abs"

All of the above. And also what @jethrox827 replied. It is just throwing money away without understanding how an internal combustion engine works. And that in the bends a good suspension setup is more important than throwing a brick on the accelerator.

Often a bigger intercooler can block airflow to the radiator. Also an oil cooler might be a good investment and waterless coolant too.

[@Karkistoss]

Exactly, and most aftermarket intercoolers for the Clio 4 move the intercooler from the side to in front of the radiator, which is usually fully open to airflow. Only Wagner's goes in the same spot as the stock one as far as I know.

[@incandescentwithrage]

Waterless coolant is far less effective than water

I've heard the term "Rubbin' is Racing'" BUT not sure this is what that means.. lol I always loves these shocked reactions from the passengers.

Years ago a co worker came to work and had 2 dark tire circles on the side of his car from turning into a semi truck on the highway while headed to work (I have no idea how he didn't see it). I said "were you in a race with semi trucks?" And he didn't get the joke.

[@coast2coast00]

I don't think that's true. Certainly "rubbing" has been in common use in racing since the 50's at least. But the phrase "rubbing is racing" doesn't really exist before 1990. The phrase was probably inspired by a 1988 interview on the new Phoenix track where Dick Beaty said “is going to be a ‘rubbing’ track. I’ve got no problem with rubbing. That’s racing. What I’ve got a problem with is when one guy spins another one out intentionally.” @@onewheat

[@stoneeh]

Under 9 minutes BTG despite cooling issues. Not bad at all. Ofc the scraping is horrible (can't be stock suspension and wheels/tires can it?), but that could easily be fixed if wanted. And yeah, oil cooler and/or different mapping to fix the heat issue. Or maybe the water cooler's just full of dirt.. who knows.

[@michieljansen6633]

I found the problem it’s the stock radiator that can’t keep up

@@michieljansen6633 Yeah that has to be the issue, on normal driving even with some 'hard' driving here and there, you'll never notice, it's just that it can't keep with high RPMs for long.

[@jandepandaman3113]

@@michieljansen6633no hate and just a bit of advice from Trophy owner to another. not only stock radiator is your issue here, speaking from experience. Mk4 with airtec (or any) fmic block the flow to the entire radiator resulting in easy overheating. Only reasonable choice is to go for a Wagner one which fits in the stock place thus not blocking the radiator. With the mods yours had done to it, a larger radiator is not necessary at all. Swapping out the crappy designed Airtec for the better design Wagner would have been much easier and completely fixing your problem and also more cost efficient with selling the Airtec one for instance.

bigger intercooler in front of the coolant radiator is the actual issue. Replace it with the Wagner one, it is smaller, you may lost 10 hp but at least you don't overheat.

[@SietzeFliegen]

I have a Clio IV RS18 Trophy. The problem with overheating when you remap the car is well known if you don't also improve cooling. Mine is fully stock, maybe a brake upgrade when the current disks/pads need replacing, but nothing big planned.

[@blackknight1013]

Yep, modified car on a race track in the hands of someone that can drive it will show quickly the mods you still need to do. Cooling always needs to be thought of, as it will get tedious if you build a fast car that can't cope with more than five miles of being driven fast. Looked like fun car though, be nice to see it back next year with suspension and cooling on it. Owner had fun, even if he was a little shocked too. :)

Always amusing to see people with fancy cars, (or even slightly fancy cars!), who are completely unfamiliar with how well their car can perform! 😂 The look of concern every time Misha braked hard tells so much about how hard the owner pushes it in the day-to-day, or even when playing around!

Stage 2 with cooling replacement parts running hot after 1/2 lap indicates a proper problem with the tuning.

[@TML34]

Stock cooling is garbage. You’ll overheat taking it to the track even w/o a tune.

[@fredericoespinoza]

These were not made to do flatout nord laps

[@banana-ui2qd]

intercooler replacement most likely blocks the radiator which is why it overheated

[@rubenvalente]

​​@@TML34 Absolutely no problem with stock cooling, already done a few laps at the Nürburgring without a single issue (engine was stock apart from a stage 1 remap-240bhp approximately). The problem is the airtec intercooler that's front mounted and blocks the coolant radiator!

People should understand when driving on the ring. If you have soft coilovers suspension, dont lower it because it looks "cool". Raise it up a few centimeters. It will go a long way on the ring with compressions. Rubbing is just so cringy and can be dangerous.

[@ridethatslapthat]

As soon as he said Airtec intercooler I knew this was going to happen 😂. The Airtec FMIC tend to cover 90% of the radiator and it's a tight fit, also doesn't help that the M5M motor get heat soak too. Mine did the same when I had airtec on mine, I swapped it for a Proalloy FMIC with Proalloy Radiator and the problem stopped when I did prolonged laps on track.

[@Sheenath]

Yep! My 220T used to do exactly the same! I was surprised it didn't happen sooner on the track! I've managed to overheat mine with just motorway driving!

Last weekend did a full track day at UKs fastest track Bedford Autodrome in a stock Clio RS MK4, no issues with cooling as it is stock. The only thing is upgraded brakes is really is needed for track as my mildly upgraded breaks got too hot after 20 mins unless I was quite careful with them. That scrubbing in Mishas video was really cringe, the RS trophy suspension is not that soft but this car was prob on lowering springs that were too low.

The owner's look to his buddy at 02:06min 😂👍 Hilarious and yet absolutely understandable, I would’ve looked the same way if I was on that passenger seat 😆 But why on earth was/is the car that low that it basically scrapes even before the corner comes… 😧🫣🥴 Sometimes „deep isn’t automatically fast“ 😝 It may look cool but it quite often makes no sense 🤷🏻‍♂️ Without the rubbing and without the tiny „temperature problem“ this car wouldn’t be that bad I assume… Regardless: Thx @MishaCharoudin for their video and best wishes, Philipp 👋

[@stoneeh]

Such low ride heights are BS. 1 or 2 cm higher don't make a bit of difference as far as handling is concerned; actually might be beneficial, slightly longer suspension travel for bumpy track. It's just for show and/or because the owners are uninformed.

[@5ShotProductions]

@@stoneeh Thank you my unknown friend! 👏🙏 That‘s exactly what I was and still am thinking 👍 Yeah, a low ride height looks most often cool, but sadly quite often it is simply put: Rubbish 🥴😉 My first BMW (E36 328i Touring) was deep as fuxx (I bought it with that lowered suspension) and it was quite good to the point where I met bumps in the road, or steep ramps or when I was driving with more than two passengers… After that car my cars (all BMW‘s) do have the very moderate M-suspension (which is mildly lowered) and I’m happy with that height. It looks „sporty“ enough but you won’t have any problems or get in trouble with it. And don’t ask me about cars with an Airride system where it‘s cool to slam the car on the ground… 🫣 I really don’t like it 🥴 BUT, and that’s the beauty of cars: You can build and drive them the way YOU like it. But as we saw in this video, a really low ride height won’t make you faster on the track. And KW shows it very often: You can have a suspension in your car which is low „enough“ and VERY fast and well balanced 👍 Okay, that was my „rant“ about low cars, sorry for that and sorry if I stepped one anyone’s foot (virtually speaking 😉) Best wishes, Philipp 👋
