Great video mate, very helpful information and professional delivery.

cup cars are around 20-30kg lighter, have the cup suspension, springs and dampers plus the faster steering rack that you mentioned. They also have a different dashboard top - no soft touch plastic on dash, different lighter door cards without the normal door pull handle inside, no a/c as stock but it was a factory option, they came with Speedline wheels standard the same as those which are on your car but for your car they were an option and you couldn't get projector headlights on the cup either. All Clio RS197/200 come with Brembo's and both cup and FF cup pack have red calipers. Cambelts on 197's are 5 years, cambelts on 200's are 6 years or 72,000 miles

I’m looking into getting one of these for my first car this video has been great 👍

Have a mk3 clio right now and looking at a clio RS for my second car, been watching lots of your videos the past few months and this was a great buyers guide, genuine and will help me when looking for them, cheers mate

I own one of these! Love it, this was a good video!

Great video, great knowledge 👌

Good video, owned a 182 for 10 years and i think its time to upgrade. A 200 seems the obvious choice

All the Clio 197/200 come with brembo callipers just the 197/200 cup have them painted in red from factory. Clio 197/200 meg conversion cost £4,500 but it’s worth it but common to do, if you get a twingo rs133 and want the f4r done which is in the Clio 197/200 it cost £3,500 and is so much fun in my opinion Common issues for them: rust at the rear arches, accident damage, crunch in 3rd common issue easy fix, seat bluster coming away due to drivers side getting in and out common nothing major The engine it’s f4r but it’s actually in Clio 172/182/197/200 aswell just to be specific.

8:20 doing timing belt also replace the crank and cam seals, they can leak causing "ghost" oil consumption without you finding little to no trace 👻🛢 When replacing sensors go OE, exception for O2 sensors, you can get BOSCH. If you have electrical issues, first check battery, alternator and grounding. Other than that, good video.

Very good vid

thanks for this mate. seen your car up for sale and considering buying it...

Double your clutch going down to 3rd is the answer to crunch

Good vid that

Great review I’m after one these (in white best colour) nightmare finding one with all the right goodies on speedlines cup spoiler and even harder to find recaros. I’m going to have to bite the bullet and get one minus the spoiler I think did you get yours from the Renault main dealer??? They still produce them??? Cheers.

These cars in australia are expensive, not many were sold so they hold they value. You are looking at 20-25k AUD for a good example.

I don't have the back spoilers, sadly

I don’t know whether to purchase a fiesta ST or RS 200. I would prefer the NA engine but will be doing a lot of motorway miles and fuel economy has to be semi-sensible. I’m not sure the Clio will be worth the extra fuel/tax when the ST is on par.

Does rs 200 have dual mass flywheel or just a simple clutch? How much is the timing belt with labour?

Great drivers cars especially with a few mods. Plenty of these running 180k miles or so. The gearbox is a sticking point, but it’s due to the clutch and slave wearing. If you buy one, only go to specialists for labour. The F4R has found use in many Renault cars, including the 172, 182 and Laguna. It’s basic architecture dates back to the F7R in the Williams.

200 Clio is the best CLIO3 in KUP for me SASA JEREMIC VALJEVO SERBIA 🇷🇸 ✋

This thing in race mode is a weapon on launch control.. On eco it's so good on fuel, like INSANELY good

Should you buy one? Nah... It's a Renault lol
