I Bought A Clio RS200 Blind From An Online Auction!

Hey guys my name is Ben and welcome back to another video. After falling in love with my Clio RS197, I've decided to upgrade to a 200 model. This one however, was purchased completely blind from an online car auction. Very risky, but I feel it's paid off.

Great car! One of the things i’d suggest for a preventative measure, is fitting a powerflex torque mount insert, this helps the flexi pipes on the manifold from flexing too much and splitting down the line.

[@be1441]

My last one had one of those 👌

[@paulhoang9820]

Nice mate, been following you since you got the 987, at which point I had the Cayman s. Now I've got a rs200!

[@kila_whale]

They are one of the best track toys, I've had RS 220 but didn't like the flappy pedals. Enjoy it mate!

[@tomosjohn230]

Looks fantastic mate you can’t beat the white colour on these!

[@posniknelb6114]

Been thinking about something like this as a track car. Maybe a cat n or something similar. They are such a pure drivers car. Good choice Ben👍

[@be1441]

The temptation to strip this car and put a cage in is so strong 😅

[@posniknelb6114]

I've been contemplating the same thing for a while now. Maybe even a little 197 would do also. Can't beat a high revving na pocket rocket

[@johnnyhickman6798]

Anything with Recaros and Brembos is going to be interesting

[@acarguy3773]

Hoping to buy one of these soon. 😱😱😁😁

[@johnnyhickman6798]

Great fun cars to drive - not as fast as modern hatches but for sure more enjoyable to drive

[@posniknelb6114]

They are down the b roads mate. They can keep up with far more powerful cars.

[@Robcatist]

@@posniknelb6114 They can indeed that’s why their such a track day tool in the right hands they’ll embarrass much more expensive stuff.

[@mr.aleximer]

Does this car have dual mass flywheel or just an ordinary clutch kit and what are the weak spots to look for before buying? Thanks

[@BradAF]

Great video, I have a white RS 200 myself. Have you managed to source any replacement cloth for the Recaros? I've managed to acquire some new foam, cannot find the fabric though :(

[@be1441]

I didn’t in the end. Think I got quoted £200 for the repair. But didn’t bother

[@FoundByPolice]

Scrap iron calling. Can’t wait for the return of the good content 😘

[@be1441]

Savage from you as always 😘

[@ac10372]

Where did you get the bumpers painted? How much did this cost you? Cheers.

[@be1441]

A place called Ls repairs in Coventry by the Ricoh arena. We use them all the time at work so got a great deal

[@thebest-in5tf]

I want to apply for BCA auctions to buy online.
Do I need a gold membership to purchase online ?
I just want to purchase 1 car ?

[@be1441]

You need a full membership and traders car insurance. I used my works log in

[@Robcatist]

Got to be white with speed lines …..you need the cup spoiler 👍

[@be1441]

Agreed

[@pana129]
