This 240bhp Clio RS is a BABY A45!! 

Review its big brother of mine :) meg 3rs 320 Efi tuned, please 😗

Really cool video man keep on with the good work

No wonder. The Renault RS'es must be quite light... And we all know Renault's racing history of cars dont we? 👍

Try a 220 Trophy. It's kinda the best option, you don't need to mod it, Renault tuned it perfectly to be able to pull the power down all the time, even at launch. And best thing is ph2 you can even get them used still under waranty!

Was it always too loud, or is it just when you're giving it some gas?

Brand snobs? Come on, you telling me if you could afford the new Merc A45s you wouldn't go for one....brand snobs, really

@@markrhoden68 a new A45S is £50k you muppet, obviously I’m talking about cars that are in the same price range

@@SChapps im fully aware of that, so tell me what brand is in the same price bracket and the same type of car that you consider a snob branded car that people might turn their noses up at?

@@markrhoden68 I personally couldn't give a toss about the Merc's, or the rest of german hot hatches tbh. They look amazing, but not as good as the Renaults. I'm a Renault fanboy and I'd definitely choose one of these over any of the German rivals any day. However, I do love those Audi RS Estates. Those things are beautiful. Not hating, just stating :)

@@markrhoden68 I'm picking a clio over anything bar an a45 and maybe and m1 only because it's rwd. As for the looks it's up there with the best.

BRO DSG AND EDC THEY ARE MADE BY THE SAME FACTORY GETRAG

@@jawadslahmi9711 BRO THATS MAD

@@jawadslahmi9711 There is still a quality difference between the brands.

​@@CiroDiMaRzio12304No. The 7DCT300 is exactly the same in all brands. The software of the gearbox is different. This gearbox is in some Mercedes, BMW, Mini, Renault, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia and Ford. The Hybrid version with a mounting flange for a electric motor is called 7HDCT300.

Finally recognised

Love the mean look of the car! Where did you order those skirts & wind deflectors if I may ask? Thx!

@@gilles4588 Wind deflectors are TeamHeko ones from eBay, £40 for those, and the skirts are MaxtonDesign, think those were sub £100 🤩

@@Bitofpizza Thanks!

Do you have any specific exhaust or those are the stock ?

​@iNSTAGiB Hi! I've had one of these over the last few days and in all honesty it's a really good daily, I drive about 9ish miles to work and it's a combination of different types of roads (like A's, B's and a dual carriageway for a mile or so) and it does average around 43mpg. I bought the car from London and had to drive to west Wales which was about 245 miles and it took around 5½ hours with all the stops and I used around ¾ of a tank from full! Keeping the car in auto mode is a bit annoying sometimes as it has a habit of bringing the revs up to 3.5k for a few seconds when going up a slight hill. The car stock has got a good power to get going up to 70mph. I've gone from a MK5 1 litre which averaged about the same because I spent most of the time trying to floor it up to the speed limit most of the time. I'd definitely rate this car as something that can be quite economic for the most part, but when the fuel gauge goes under half it definitely feels as if its slurping through fuel. So far on a full tank being economic it says it will do around 340 miles to a tank? No idea how accurate that is though because I drive like a knob quite a bit 😂 Hope this helps!

👍

Are you dumb GTI is way better bro chill out

Agreed!

Thanks mate! Hope you’re well 🙌🏻

Thank you buddy!

Yeah they’re really cool cars!

That would be epic!!

Definitely mate, missed a big hit seeing how loved the 172 182 197 are

@@hampshirephoto having owned a 172 and 197, I have own my 200T for over 6 years now, wouldn't go back to a manual now

Everyone turns their nose up when they hear the Mk4 Clio has an EDC (Renaults equivalent of DSG!) but honestly it offers a completely different level of fun and engagement. It’s so responsive and intuitive that you can focus on SPANKING the car and not have to do arm-things mid corner to change gear 😂😍

Have a 172 ph1, its amazing and raw.. love the 197 as well. now i'm thinking about the new hyundai i20n which will come with a manual, 200hp and and lsd.. the clio 4 rs is just out of the equation because of the auto

😲🥺

@@Bitofpizza the newest version is a downgrade in looks imo

Thanks for tuning in!

Awe awe

Why do you regret putting a downpipe?? I got a downpipe and a res delete, map this month. It sounds insanely good.

@@dreaded6623 I regretted taking it to the guy i took it to. He did a terrible job. I rate the res delete will give me the deeper tone and crackles I'm looking for.

😲😍

🙌🏻🙌🏻

That’s exactly it bro ✌🏻

@@Bitofpizza ah OK and that's still all legal yh I was going to do similar, thanks bro

I think it's just a software change and you can get it updated on the older models.

@@terminator4652 nah i heard some same story's the phase 1 was known for errors in the gearbox the phase 2 has upgraded gearbox and software.

@@CiroDiMaRzio12304 do you know which of them the phase 2 is used on?

@@sparko2012ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zsLp8XFsKr8.html there you can see both phase 1 and 2

I’m guessing that’s why you’d call it a baby version? Babies crawl before they run 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@RG-gg5ye and a spider can't be a cow, we can go on forever here, end of the day it's a Renault...

@@easyerc2226 Mercedes use Renault parts 🤷🏼‍♂️ the A45 gets called a baby GTR. There’s always comparisons made.

French* design + French Ingeneering + French engine + german gearbox.

@@aoncgn2431 the TCe family engine (1.6 M5M, 1.2 H5FT and 0.9 H4B) were engineered with nissan.

@@aoncgn2431 i got the 1.2 H5FT with manual gear box (because i love manual) and this small engine is very fun to drive! Especially into mountain roads 😍 I’d like to put on more horsepower because 118 aren’t enough.

I’ve had it for two and a half years and can’t name a single issue I’ve had. No recalls, not even a windscreen wiper stopping working, it hasn’t skipped a beat!

@@Bitofpizza could see myself buying one, one day. I’ve got a Cupra 290 and it’s mad fast but it’s not got that fun factor that sommat like this has. Your channel is sick btw!

@@samculpan891 Thanks mate! The Cupra 290 is QUICK!! But I think the AWD German cars are too numb to enjoy, something like the Clio with its qwerks and imperfections makes it so fun 🙏🏻

@@Bitofpizza yeah it’s rapid, even with standard power. FWD makes it more fun but it still feels very typical VAG. Makes a great fast daily though. Nearly got a Megane 280 instead.

@@samculpan891 the meganes nice I tested the 300 trophy before buying my current i30N. I owned a 270 cup megane and they are fantastic but made the switch to a Golf R mk7, quick car but dull. It was a tough choice between the trophy and the i30N and I'd still like another RS megane at some point. Nice Clio you've got there and ideal on tight roads that Megane RS is pretty wide now

Reliability hasn't really been an issue since 2009>

Stock trophy

Did u end up doing this?

@@Astro-ol8mw yes I did, with stock diameter. I did a centre resonator and muffler delete. It isn’t too loud and and certainly not obnoxious and the exhaust note is actual very very nice.

@@christianmerolli5327 thanks does it sound like this one in the video

I've clocked my RS trophy at 5.6 0-62, but its at 260+bhp. Really decent time considering its not made to go fast in a straight line

It’s not Vbox verified by any means but the built in timer on the car’s infotainment clocked a 5.7

@@Bitofpizza i clocked my 5.6 on a draggy, unsure how accurate that is compared to a vbox of course but its anywhere from 5.6-5.8 mapped by the looks of things

@@VersionOneUK sure it’s accurate, i have it too. Very good measure box. You can find it on youtube, lots of drag race measures 1/4mile in test with dragy box 👍

@@VersionOneUK what mods for over 250hp? How much torque? Need to change the EDC clutches after some time?

Thankyou! 😂 I had work the day before so it pained me to take a dirty car onto the channel but needs-must! 😂🙌🏻

I have one they are ok around town if you travel distance they are kinda horrible after a while. I think they are too high

@@phillipruus1812 Yeah they are too high. I'm on the verge of ordering custom Recaros for mine.

@@alesorazem9408 I'd do the same but here in Australia unless they have the airbag and are a direct bolt in its a pain to go it certified and will not pass inspection to get registration

@@phillipruus1812 Oh damn that sucks :(

🥺🥰

Yours is stunning!

The interiors well nice

If you looking for a posh interior go with the polo gti

It was designed by a drunk Frenchmen on a friday afternoon 5 min before knock off time rather shit day to day

New gen interior is marginally better, the way the screen sticks up is weird but I can see the appeal.

It’s the U.K, it was washed before 😅

the RS is a track car... and the A45 is a straight ahead car for the highway

1555 and 1204*

Clio FWD A45 AWD

E o clio que a gente tem aqui foi descontinuado há um bom tempo, hoje substituído pelo sandero, que é da dacia...

Believe me, I’ve driven most cars, yet I still get excited when given the chance to drive something new...

@@hampshirephoto it actually sounds really good i might get one need a run about soon

this is on another level then a "standard" renault man, great handeling cars.

Renault Sport is on another level compared to their standard vehicles. Drive one if you can, or buy a Clio 197 they’re relatively affordable

Renault > Volkswagen any day of the week and twice on a Sunday

Cuz VAG products are weak😂

😂

My guy 😍

They help to paying his bills. So yes.

@@44_MarkI don't think he needs to worry about his bills do you? Anyway what are you his agent?

He’s working..... technically.

@@getmoreforyourcar-bobjones shut up you nonce

Bet you're fun at parties.

If you compared it with the same German budget cars you will know that Renault is much better.

You'd be right normally but in this case the owner had a standard 200hp RS got a remap yielding +40hp and had the trophy decal added. Great cars looking forward to modding my 220 trophy in the near future 👌🏻

Plastic and A45 go hand in hand
