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 !

[@overkill1994]

Looks like a wicked time

[@Anthony_The_Chicken_Licker]

[@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 👍

[@Schaufelor]

Sometimes he needed to look back at his friend to be reassured that this is still fun and not just scary 😀

[@Michael_Michaels]

NO, he was trying to reassure that what he was watching was real, and that he wasn't the only one noticing such awesome performance! 😏

[@EmilBurganov]

loool

[@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"

[@111two]

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.

Love the sound of the Clio; well, not the scraping sound, but a great little car that just needs a few issues fixed to make it a true track tool.

[@Evokyr]

I've driven multiple Clio 4 RS'es and none made these scraping sounds at all... I think the changes the owner made to the car need some adjustement, especially the suspension.

[@jaky3]

I really dislike the burping every car seems to need to make on shifting, just such a manufactured unnecessary sound that doesn't sound good at all imo. Too bad the french saw the need after the germans too

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.

[@volvo09]

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.

[@sugarray1981]

From the movie Days of Thunder.

[@onewheat]

@@sugarray1981 - that's saying has been around a lot longer than Days of Thunder.

[@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

[@derbigpr500]

I'll never understand why people lower their cars to such a degree that the wheels rub the arches. It just shows an utter lack of basic understanding of car and chassis dynamics.

[@jalalalap-akalala]

It probably didn't scrape on the road

[@granz291]

Well Misha can handle every car, not every car can handle Misha though

[@sirskorge]

[@sismofytter]

Love the RS models, they just have much more soul than a VW GTI 😊

[@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

[@stoneeh]

@@michieljansen6633 good luck getting these little problems fixed. Shouldn't be too much hassle. And congrats again for the experience.. I also did a lap with him.. I know exactly how you felt. Took a week or so for my adrenaline level to return to normal 😁

[@FacuGonz3]

@@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.

[@joergarms1]

It's truly amazing how quick Misha adapts to another car. And the look on the owners face says it all, he never new what this Clio could do.

[@ErikB750]

Car comes with late eigthies, early nineties space invaders sound effects. Too bad it overheated, but that is a bit of a trend with tuned/mapped cars.

[@sonicstep]

That's what it is. Spot on! 👌😂

[@BillyBoy444]

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

[@yobama8344]

needs a pro alloy radiator asap

[@calvin6651]

Thank you Misha for all you do! Always a pleasure to watch these videos..

[@DanteJDM]

Is there even any chassis left after all that scraping? You left a bit of Clio at nearly every corner. Haha. And the owner's face 😮🤣

[@macfady2181]

I think the sound you hear is mainly inner fender.

[@connormorse1010]

The shift farts are great.

[@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.

[@GrzesiekTylenda]

[@JerGol]

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!

[@Sog8045]

[@pure_awareness]

You broke a young Matt Damon.

[@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. :)

[@fen1xpro]

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.

[@mrmini4567]

Always happy when Misha uploads!!!!

[@bigalalbig]

Nice vid as always. Would be great to try a stock one over a full lap.

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.

[@ppppw2]

These were not made to do flatout nord laps

[@banana-ui2qd]

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

[@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!

[@robertadamski]

Haha that was great! The guys were absolutely mindblown. I had driven the Clio IV RS from NurbLife - it was on semi-slicks tho and was very well set up for the Nurburgring. I think its an amazing car with quite big capabilities but I was the limiting factor xD, the one thing that I've noticed while driving is that the car likes to step out with the rear sometimes under heavy braking, but still fantastic car.

[@ArthurDeKeersmaeker]

Yes Yes, very good brakes. One at each wheel and the car body itself

[@smush1414]

If it's like the 182 then performance suffers big time with 2 passengers, same top end reached as my old 182 but I think the newer Clio gets there much faster and wold probably have gone on to a higher speed with only one passenger and cornered easier too, was it the gearbox which was getting too hot?

[@giorgiopiccini]

that is a shame on clio history, the clio 3 RS and 2 was a very loved for track enthusiast but the clio 4 RS is just used for stance guys with there fancy wheels and lowered spring, i think the clio 4 still a god clio RS but is not like the olds ones !!

Nice drive. Without passengers the suspension may not have bottomed out so much. How much fuel was in it?

[@lordsirearson556]

[@5ShotProductions]

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 👋

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.

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.
