Description

Clio 197 Track/Race car

This Renaultsport Clio 197 is a highly modified hot hatch, which has been customised with a powerful engine upgrade and stripped-out interior, to turn it into a thrilling road or track day car. Under the bonnet is a turbocharged inline-four from a Renaultsport Megane 225, which has been tuned to 280bhp by RS Tuning, with the six-speed manual transmission from the same car.

The turbocharged Megane 225 engine features an uprated intercooler and intake kit, a large bore 2.75-inch downpipe and a custom exhaust system. There are also GT Performance hard pipe and silicone hose kits, an Airtek header tank, a new radiator, engine loom and air filter, and brand-new Bosch ignition coils and OEM spark plugs.
An Odyssey PC680 battery has been fitted and relocated, along with a fused distribution block.

It is fitted with genuine Clio Cup racer EE brackets, custom longer driveshafts, extended anti-rotation links and steering rods. It has solid subframe mounts, and the geometry has been adjusted with 25mm wider track, 25mm roll centre correction, and a 25mm lower ride height before coilover adjustment. There is a quicker steering rack from a Clio 200 Cup, and the car is currently running a camber of 4+ degrees. It has had a full setup by track car specialist AK Automotive including corner weighting, and tips the scales at 1255kg with fuel and an 80kg driver.

The seller reports that every suspension component front and rear is new, including the ball joints, camber shims, hub bolts, and all nuts, washers and other bolts. The rear beam and front wishbones are fitted with
Powerflex polyurethane bushes, and the car rides on brand-new GAZ Gold coilover shock
absorbers with custom spring rates. Coilover socks are also fitted, and the components have been protected with ACF50. Braking is by high-carbon discs and Ferodo DS1.11 pads.

Inside, this custom Clio is fitted with a six-point MSA specification bolt-in roll cage, along with FIA approved Sabelt GT-3 bucket seats and Turn One six-point HANS-compatible harnesses. There is also a Sabelt steering wheel trimmed in Alcantara, a ZeroPointOne mechanical shifter, and a Rentune foot plate. The car is fitted with a stripped wiring loom, a cut-off switch on the dashboard, and track car door panels. It would require a plumbed-in fire extinguisher to meet full racing regulations.
