Clio 200 Cup with Megane power

[anonymous-user]

I had a lot of fun with my 182 on track, but after a year I decided I wanted something quicker.

Enter the Clio 200:



This one is a bit special.

It's running a Megane R26 engine mapped to 275 bhp, a full safety devices cage, Megane gearbox with a Quaife diff, an Akrapovič exhaust, rear braces, big brake kit, Eibach springs and a paddle clutch with lightened flywheel.

I'm still in the getting to know you phase, but so far it is an absolute monster and I'm completely in love with it. The current plan is to do a few track days in it, and that's pretty much the end of the plans

More to follow once I've taken some decent pics.

Nice to see it got bought! There's plenty of build information on this car over on the Clio forum

Dont forget the OZ Ultraleggera's in the spec, they cost a pretty penny or 2!

Linky?

[Butter Face]

Nice, I bet that is super quick!

[DannyScene]

Looks and sounds epic!

Looks like we have the same or similar job as well judging by the van

is there an original build thread? I can see 2 were build? Who built them?

I'm not too sure tbh. Only been on the Clio forum since Feb this year myself

[egor110]

Awesome, does it feel heavier than the 182 or does the increase in hp make up for it?

[Leins]

That looks like a lot of fun - enjoy!

[Chr1sch]

Oh nice! My mate Ben had the white one briefly, CL10 CUU or something like that on the plate?

By all accounts rather fast!!

[EC123]

wow .. as a owner of a standard 200 I can only imagine the joy from driving this, would love to see it in person to be honest!

I bet you are surprising some people in that

[iacabu]

Very nice! I'd definitely consider a meg'd/turbo'd Clio in the future

[cosworth330]

I remember seeing this for sale.

Storm grey is by far the best colour for these Clios.

[Tickle]

I remember this from 197.net when I had my 200 Cup.

Great cars, would be interesting to see if the turbo engines characteristics compliments the chassis. RS seems to make it work in the Megs though.

I bet it is a hoot to drive and imagine on track it will show up some expensive metal!

I followed this when lee had it! Has the best of everything!

In my opinion, you got this for an absolute steal, considering what this would cost to build and what the standard ones go for, even I was tempted to chuck in a bid and sell my 197!!

[jaik]

I love the idea of this kind of spec, having owned a standard 200 Cup. Have you driven a stock one, and if so how do they compare?

Does look good in the flesh, being it now resides 50 yrds round the corner. Bloody nice toy, lucky man !!
