hey all i see plex looking for me haha i have a clio sport and the second one is mathews own i dontk now up till this date how he runs through all those gearboxes lol ummm let me see how best i can answer your questions pokes:
the car is generally very adequate once u do all the regular maintainence it is a very realiable car its not to be confused with the regular 1.4/1.6 variants in the country it can go weeks after service and still run powerful in terms of costs it is quite economic to get parts....but this is once u establish a link u might want to consider factors such as trinidad auto is closing the renault line in the next two years so all renault parts and stuff will be hell to obtain...........this on the flipside doesnt bother me lol since i work with k-tecracing to get my parts really great company...
secondly it needs servicing every 10km usual thingi but i only pay about 400 to do that for the regular stuff cause i do it myself really its the easiest car to work on really like a kit car nuttin complicated at all except for the electronics.
in terms of driveability i love it love it its really a doctor jekyl mr hyde kinda car u can cruise all over with it and it doesnt bug u at all really reasy to drive and when u feeling reall peepy the fcker does move.....i can gurantee u and be cocky enough with it that no stock 2.0 ltr car is gonna take u on the road EXCEPT a honda integra type r the rsx model as i have had a neck and neck race with one already other than that no stock 2.0 can race u and beat u unless its modified...neone wanting to prove my theory just wild me up on the highway lol...
ummm its pretty decent for what it is 60mph comes in at 6.5 secs and top is about 230kmph but dont get this car twisted it is a great road car BUT whats makes it exceptional that everyone that owns one can tell u is that its HANDLING and BRAKING are through the roof....if u wanna get a car to go straight line racing with its better to get another jap car as it might satisfy u better but if u looking at maracas/toco/mayaro runs den breads u in for a wild ride it is a friggen bronko bull. really fun to dish in the corners and around a track for example solodex
running costs are really good also 31mpg cruising about 21 mpg if u really run the sucker so its good on gas once u keep it out of vvt. if u want all the techincal ta ta u can msg me and i will patch u in on it for the sheit comes with a lot of extras for the price
finally on a end note IT IS A GREAT CAR for future investments.......dont take on what noone tell u about clio is sheit whatever u should see the turbo kit for this thing .....if u talk to them frenchies and them i have a padner who owns one in UK running a t28 on it at about 20psi high boost and he does 0-60 in 4.1 secs with a quarter of low 12's to high 11's into so dont underestimate its potential
and its only at about 360bhp
who say power to weight ratio
newho hope this helped man i know its alot but hope it give u an idea ne furthur questions feel free to ask
