- Hello All,
This is our first video and would love some feedback to see what we can do better. This is the first time we have tried our hands at video, so we would love some comments.
You will see ours and Bash's Clio 182 Turbo which is a absolute rocket with 240bhp.
Owen has a brief chat around the history and some tips about these little hot hatches from Renault.
We would appreciate a Like, Share and Subscribe as we will be having loads more coming out over the summer and into the winter.
Also the turbo charger kit was supplied from
www.engine-dyn...
Thanks all,
Team Addicts
If you're getting between 21 and 26 to the gallon in a 172 / 182, you're either driving everywhere in 1st gear, or there's something very wrong with it! These get anywhere between about 30 and 37 to the gallon depending on how you drive it.
Stephenx77 is a fair comment, I own the black one and I’d say with mine about 32 driven sensibly. If you hammer it I think Owens about right at 21mpg. Thanks for your comment.
Is the 172/182 more fuel efficient than the 197/200 would you say? I average 28 in my 200 if i'm being good
@@ginj4ninj4180 Yes, the Clio 172s and 182s are lighter than the 197s and 200s, so they are better on fuel.
@@Stephenx77 I just thought because the 197 and 200 has the sixth gear it might help them keep a higher mileage. Maybe the gearings a lot shorter though, it is still quite high in the revs on the motorway I guess
@@ginj4ninj4180 Yeah, the 6th gear will be a pretty similar ratio to fifth gear in a 172. The shorter ratios through the lower gears help it accelerate a bit quicker to compensate for the weight.
I myself have a 182. I've had many turbo charged cars. I've heard that a super charger on a 172/182 feels better, as there's no lag. Power figures/graph would have complimented the review. In standard form they are brilliant fun. I hope to slowly improve mine. Only negative for me is the seating position.
Rich Hoban i would love to have a go in a supercharged one as have only heard good things. You are definitely right about a graph, something we will have to do. Thanks for you comment Rich
let me guess its to high seating position?
im 5' 8" and thinks my clio got the seating position of a van in the lowest setting.
@Chris going to try that and remove the spacers and se how that feels.
@Chris yepp that i know had the driver seat out before to try and mount a sport seat but not removed the spacers at that time.
Used to have a 172 cup, great little car.
Good fun, love them. Stu is anything Renault 🤙🏻
Fact, the turbos for the clio 172 and 182 where developed in Mexico by Gerardo del Rio, (yes, even the ones K-tec sold in europe) were developed here, story tells mr del Rio took the british guys from k-tec racing from Mexico city to Acapulco (370 kilometers) in about 2.5 hours for the demonstration of the kit in the clio,
For your first official video that was some top editing and filmography. Wish these cars where more common in Perth Western Australia (or Australia in General).
Gorsair thanks for your kind comments, we will get better and better (we hope) lol. My brother is in Perth and he loves a Clio and said the same, great track day car
@@MotorAddicts No problem mate. Does your brother own a Clio at the moment? At this point in time I only know of around 10 in Perth, and as far as i know i'm the only one with a inferno orange/blood orange 182 CUP in the state.
Gorsair no he has not, his last one was back here in the UK. He had a trophy. The infernos are so expensive now as a rare colour here
@@MotorAddicts Yeah infernos aren't common. A total of 25 cars where imported into the country. Probably a quarter not on the road anymore. Wish we had Petrol Blue and Liquid Yellow as an option here but we never did unfortunately.
Not sure why we never got the trophy as that would have sold like hot cakes over here.
Australia was the worlds 3rd largest Renault sport (RS) market at one point after France and Germany between 2010 and 2016. Hence why we got a stupid amount of special editions and 50 of the 250 made Trophy r Megane's.
So i hope we get a lot of the new Nürburgring slaying Megane (The wheels are made in Geelong Victoria after all)
We like the modern RS stuff just wish the general public caught on sooner for second gen Clio's.
Gorsair its a shame as they are great track toys and loved all over. Keep the faith mate
Awsome video, production etc spot on, i look forward to more content, just like watching carwow etc 👍
luke newsome thank you!! We will be getting on soon with more content and aim to get better & better... keep tuned.
rs200 clio owner here just bought it & cant driving the thing i love it .
neil benton they are mega fun!! We are at Le Mans the weekend, with a R26 megane engined RS200 - 300bhp and 285lb of torque. MEGA!!
This came across as really professional. I just wish you could give us a sound of that engine along with the turbo
koolyman thanks for your comment. This was our first ever video, but we have improved a lot throughout our other ones. Hopefully you get the chance to check our other stuff out
Great video guys, very informative and fun. Maybe just me but would've liked a few shots of the inside of the car just to get an idea what it's like inside; dash wise and seating wise. Loved it though! Owen's excited face 😂😂😂
Mazz Rhodes thank you very much for your comment. We are trying out what will work best for the videos moving forward, so all the advice helps. Thanks for following!!
Awesome video, I am owning a 182 with turbokit as well and I will never get rid of it!
robert van der zwaag I bet you won’t, if had Clio’s for last 10 years and will continue to own them!!
Great cars for the budget indeed and tons of fun, a turbo conversion does give it that extra oomph to make it even more fun.
Did a turbo conversion on the F7R engine that's in my very mint R19 16v Phase 2., too much fun!
Really rate this video. I’m a Renault boy anyway and I’m looking to purchase one of these 🔥
Stu loves his Renaults, also sells cars so if he finds one he will let you know. 🤙🏻
Motor Addicts that’s perfect mate I appreciate that. I’m trying to acquire a collection of Renaults 🔥
Good to see a youtuber with a bit of car history behind them.
theperson thanks buddy, that’s also why we think we could do quite well at it. There’s 3 of us and we been in the car industry since we left school and 2 of us are late 30’s. Thanks again bud
I’m considering a low boost turbo kit but want to retain the high rev characteristic of an NA clio. I hope I won’t be disappointed.
Did you go for it? If so how is it?
Very good video, I've just bought a 182 quality cars
PC Gamer We have a few good toys, but my Clio I love. So cheap & brilliant thrills on the track. Can’t go wrong!!
I used to own AV54 WUU, it's nice to see it still lives on!
aymanhd it certainly does live on!! Beast of a Clio!
I'd be intrigued with what's left on it since I had it. I know the next owner after me didn't get the belts done and someone bought it off him, which is I assume the current owner.
aymanhd I know the engine has been out and rebuilt with turbo attached now. The new owner has a engine centre where they build engines, so was his play thing. It is really well looked after and doesn’t come out often.
That's good to know! I kept it in excellent condition, shame the next owner did not. I've got a 172 now, would love WUU back.
aymanhd I can ask him but sure will be a very pretty penny!!
i only own a 1.2 clio but its fun cars to beat on a bendy roads.
Hooô yeeer soo good projet chassi is sooo good
Brilliant video, I wonder how my supercharged ph1 would compare to the the turbo! 👍
Rsfocusfan will have to have a look for one. There is a blue one about, but good idea!!
Good little video there mate! Keep it up!
UNDEFINED same back at you!!
Great cars to start your channel with, liked the vid!
Roy thank you very much. We have a ton of stuff on its way!!
Cant wait. Greetings from Holland
Good video good informations 👌🏼
Ricardo clio172 thanks for you comment. It’s our first attempt and so much more coming!! Practice makes perfect!!
I got 182 and golf r mk7. Its nice to see a clio keep up! How much to turbo it dude? Great video BtW!👍
Xtiminator thank you for your comment. It cost around £2,500 the owner has mentioned for a brand new kit. The company that done it was
www.engine-dynamics.com/
@@MotorAddicts Thanks for the reply, will check them out 😃
Xtiminator no problem at all!!
Thats a price for the kit delivered. For that price you'll need to fit it yourself and it doesnt include mapping
@@EpicBurnReturn You can get them to fit it for you for extra but that’s still without mapping
How's the gearbox doing??
Filmed in ramsgate recognise when you put your foot down?
Steven kilvington yup, we are at Ramo!! We are local there.
That's cool man loved the vid
Steven kilvington thank you.
Shithole
Could you please tell me what turbo kit is it? I'm thinking of getting a kit for my clio172 with stock internals. What is the exhaust set up and what ECU? Thanks
benyos01 I have messaged the owner and he said he will get all the detail and we will pop it all in the comments for you.
benyos01 here is there website. It’s engine dynamics that he got all the kit from
www.engine-dynamics.com
Thanks mate.
ur 251 subscriber :D
I own myself a clio rs from the 00s 170hp 200nm and a speceal olie cooler
swieber1412 is it a 172?
@@MotorAddicts yes
nice video, like the channel, not being a dick but, I'm surprised that having worked for renault myself that you haven't heard of how shit the gearboxes are on these and always fail even on stock? I don't know anyone who's owned one that hasn't had one fail... that's the only thing bar the silly rear beam setup that puts me off them as the engine is wicked.
I had the 197
There cool
Say volumes for VTEC.......
Mac Sixtyfive volumes! Lol!! Got a couple of civics coming to the channel soon. Super fun the VTEC’s
Still a quick car for today's standards....
240 hp fuck me my ep3 type r made that on a k100 chip remap airfilter and exhaust..... Now I've gone turbo I'm making 475 hp.... The turbo clio hasn't had impressive gains considering its turbo charged
I have a Clio 172 (Actually the black one in the video) and to be fair I was expecting more. I have driven a ep3 turbo and they are absolute animals, very impressive bits of kit.
@@MotorAddicts I think the clio is a good car kept na and developed with na mods and chassis mods there just not very receptive too boost..... Regarding my ep3 it's savage its as tho Honda made the car with modding and turbo charging in mind very very capable car
Jason Lycett unlike my biscuit based Clio lol
One of the team has a Toyota Celica GT4 but also we will be having a Nissan S20 coming on the channel soon!!
For your own knowledge 240 hp is very far from this engine limits, may be the owner of the car want it for track and at this point it will be better from turning it up, but trust me these engines are pretty good and can hold much much more.
21mpg?? Nah never. Does say more than that
Common problem is the dephaser it gives more air and more fuel which results in a hike in power... how the fuck is that a common problem?
Too many errs, not sure of the facts and repeating yourself. Just constructive criticism not an insult. Keep going
RustyNuts thanks for feedback, it was our first video and we are trying to improve on everyone.
The 3 humm rs yeeer the gt turbo clios cup 2 ho RS 3 good cars is the suite the gt turbo
Owen how skinny you are hear compared to nowadays 🤣🤣🤣
You will not get anything any good for 500 quid on the clio front, maybe 5 years ago 😂
Ethan Gunnett yea deffo for a good one, but if your looking for a project one like what the Black 1 is in this video, that one cost £450
@@MotorAddicts bloody hell, I just bought a 182 with 158k both cup packs for 1350, the black one is worth way more than that
Ethan Gunnett they do come up but very rare. That one had an immobiliser fault but very simple fix, it was very badly modified so took back to standard.
@@MotorAddicts tbf me and my missus have them and we've both bought them and turned out they've had something wrong with them 😂
Ethan Gunnett 🤣🤣🤣 they all will
