The PERFECT hot hatch? - A day with the Renault Clio RS 220 Trophy

[@nazmo_za9654]

Thanks for having me on gents, was a blast

[@roadswaysouth]

The real appreciation goes out to you Nazeem. Without you the video wouldn't even be possible 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@FlanK3rCZ]

hi, do you know, if is it same engine like Megane IV GT TCE?

[@nazmo_za9654]

@@FlanK3rCZ yes. 1.6T from nismo. You can push bigger power in the megane as the box can take more

[@FlanK3rCZ]

@@nazmo_za9654 thx, I have currently 171kW on brakes :) maybe I will try a little more next time :-D

[@nazmo_za9654]

@@FlanK3rCZ nice. I'm about 180kw with my tune. But you can get 200kw on stock turbo. And 220kw with hybrid

I've always been a fan of these Renaults , the fact that they're misunderstood is what attracts me the most to it . The Mk3 Gordini is also my favourite.

[@WarrenMeinking]

Such a cool car!

[@jani7683]

Never had the chance to drive one, i have the mk3 clio 200 cup, Miltek non resonanted exhaust, basic map for smoothness, sounds fantastic,handles like a kart, goes like stink , humbles more expensive machinery on most roads

The perfect hot hatch 🙌

[@YusufPetersenCPT]

Yaa hey and back in the day when these came out i said they are so so cool people were like no man theres a polo GTI and whatever else, now maybe some will understand these are proper cool and still look very modern. Its about the driving not about the badge i dont care if its a Daewoo if its super fun to drive and has so much drama thats all it needs.

[@nazmo_za9654]

100%, iv never been tied to a brand, i had an ST, gti and now an RS. whatever is fun is fun.

[@roadswaysouth]

I definitely agree man. And what's more, I find it great when manufacturers make something special like this regardless of what preconceptions are. Like Hyundai with the N cars or Toyota with the GR models. And I said the same, the Clio still looks very fresh and new 👌🏼👌🏼

[@Andre-29]

Great. Thanks guys. Instant regret buying a GTI over this. 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[@roadswaysouth]

Hahaha oh no 😂😂

[@nazmo_za9654]

Its a very different experience hey. It depends on what you after. we also have a tiguan family car thats a lovely refined place to be. so i dont mind the clio being a bit harsh. Also there's very few cars that can push big power than a gti.

[@Andre-29]

@@nazmo_za9654 Spoken like a true petrol head and not a “brand defender”. You’re spot on, however, where the GTI is a more “everyday” car with a bit of power, the Clio is what every petrol head dream of. Sights, sounds etc. Lovely car man. Beautiful 🙏

[@mpholetsie8189]

Hi i was offered a Renault Clio 1.6 Rs it's a 2014 model Please inform me about it

[@nazmo_za9654]

thats the pre facelift, 200hp. It has a slower gearbox. At its age check if the TSU(transmission control unit) has been replaced, as that is something that always goes

[@jaredbales4434]

I'd like to get the rear spoiler?? Where can we get it in SA?

[@nazmo_za9654]

Unfortunately only full imported. You get some decent reps but most reps look off. Alternatively contact ktech

[@wetcheese1051]

Is this stock?

[@nazmo_za9654]

software and downpipe

[@gerald9760]

Delayed throttle inputs

[@gerald9760]

TCU & clutch replacement which cost nearly more than the car.

[@nazmo_za9654]

Not really delayed unless you driving in normal mode. And yes. the TSU goes. I did mine at R35k. but in 7yrs and now 90 000kms. 35k on repairs is nothing. as for clutches they dont go unless you launch all the time or drive like a moron. And priced already. all factored. so if i get 10 yrs. and only did clutch and TSU. its still a bargain. my ST and my GTI had engine/gearbox failures (luckily under warranty). so considering a 190+ kw tune for 5 yrs. and trouble free motoring, fully paid up. I have zero regrets. when the clutch goes ill import an uprated clutch.
