@@lollypop9580 another very fun RS which is often overlooked is a Japanese Honda Fit GP4 Hybrid RS. Excellent chassis but a little off pace of the Renault from a start until you strip weight. The GP4 has excellent handling and great midrange to top end power. Stock power of the jap spec is around 150hp with the hybrid.
Brake fade is probably due to fluid overheating. These cars really benefit from high temp fluid and brake cooling ducts where the fog lights usually go.
Sad Renault sacked of the hot hatch game, had a Mk3 Clio 200 and Mk3 Megane 250 both were great and rare (In the UK) machines. Renault UK also did super discounted track days for the RS owners.
Renault are so underrated when it comes to fast cars, even the majority of petrolheads I know just sack them off as french crap without a second thought. Cant even compare them to Peugeot - theyre still riding on the success of the 205 gti. They havent built a good performance car in nearly half a decade (306 gti/106 rallye).
Wow Misha, 663k subs! You are killing it man. Congrats on all the channel success. I think this calls for a celebratory drive with the France boys with the s..t tires that made your head hurt from laughing 2.0. That will always be my favorite video. Onward and upward 👍. Love the channel.
This seemed properly quick, it sounded great, suspension and tyres worked really well, and that was an exciting head-to-head with the Corsa, which was indeed flying. The wry smile on Misha's face revealed that he was pleased to have overtaken it ;)
I think brakes are likely fading due to poor cooling with the stock 172 and 182 discs which are only ventilated from the outside. My Renault 5 with Honda K20 engine has the discs from Renault Captur which are partially ventilated from the inside and has bigger cooling channels with pillar vanes. I also have Porsche Gt3 brake cooling scoops in the control arm and hoses from the fog lights. So there are options aswell as using 4pot calipers from Clio 197. Clio 172/182 are good cars for the money.
I did two full seasons in the Danish Renault Clio Cup back in 2004/05 in the Clio II, the Cup version from Renault Sport with a 6-speed sequential Zadev gearbox with quickshifter. A beast on cold tyres but apart from that a great little race car. If you ever get the chance to drive it, please share it with us, would be great!! Thanks for all your excellent videos, always fun to watch 🙏💪
Misha, you are awesome. I really admire your braveness to drive every car on the limit. It must be also quite a job to drive several cars per day. Respect!
Suspension seems good and well setup; high cornering speeds, yet compliant. Tires began to smear towards the end, which is to be expected for normal summer tires. Oh, and I like the sound :)
This clio 182, without cat and remap, it only delivers on high rpms....also brake system on that thing is best for the era, i do not know about specific car. thanks for the video.
Fast little car! Curious about the footwork at 5:41, though Edit: actually noticed it a few times throughout the lap. Can you tell me why you're on an off the throttle around corners? I track a FWD as well, so would be great to learn another technique
I would guess he's trying to gain more tire grip by coming off the throttle to ease stress on the Tires around the corners, it also allows the rear end to catch up, not a race driver, just my guess
25 year rule for them in the not too distant future, if that's a thing with cars from the UK anyway. Might even be able to get a ph1 already, I know a guy in Canada has imported a few mk2 sports, their rule is 20 years I believe.
Misha when you're going around some corners, why do you go on and off the throttle quickly? 10:18 I have a 182 but don't use this technique and I'm curious as to why you do it!
yea @mgcharoudin , you seem to quite stab the accelerator without upsetting balance of grip, how do you do that? Keen to see some vids on driving technique in FWD, what to do when things are about to go wrong, etc.
Can someone explain to me why, he "for the lack of a better word" blips the trottle at times during a corner? I can only assume he is doing it to revmatch before a down shift, but no clue.
They're very capable but because they come under the category of FWD Hatch, they never set records because of the Megane of the same period so it was largely overshadowed, it hasn't stopped them being the budget entry point for so many people into track days though. That Corsa must have been a red top conversion as its too old to be a VXR.
I see u today at devil's Diner. Want to talk with u but u go asap in a BMW and drive away. Maybe next time, we're leaving tomorrow. Love the Clio and the French emotions. I got a C2 VTS so much fun :D
8:55 for a lap is pretty rapid I thought. just looked up some lap times, same as a Range Rover Sport and Mini Coper S JCW apparently lol. Someone should wear a heart rate monitor while Misha fookin rags it. I would be absolutely shitting myself ngl.
So apparently the old tyre design is still relevant! That’s a good thing because it’s a struggle for us older hot hatch owners and PS3 seems to be the only reasonable HP tyre suitable for use outside the track you can get in 15-16 inch flavour. And if you're fated to stick with 14 inches it’s Yokohama semi-slicks or nothing 🙄
Depends on the car and the conditions. Michelin Pilot Sport one of the best all round tyres but there are better and cheaper options for the day and also for the wet

We are blessed with another NA hot hatch! The purest of pure driving experience, thanks Misha💪🏻
That corsa was a beast in the corners 😂
Indeed it deserved a ride!
@@LeonardoValente_ down on power but up on grip, looked mega fun 😂
i own one with a astra vxr engine in it, old or modern clios cant touch me :D

Good advice.
Yes made a world of difference to mine the fluid
It has rbf660
@@matt2661 definitely have a look for some cooling ducts then. They don't have to be expensive ones, as long as you're getting airflow onto the discs.
The standard alloys don’t allow much air flow which adds to the problem
just stopping by and getting my daily dose
That rev limiter is just a nice icing on the cake, looks awesome fun
came for a clio, got a corsa as a bonus
What a car, absolutely love the mk2 Clio. Great noise, epic FWD, N/A fun. Thanks for showing how well they can go in the right hands.
I loved the part where the owner mentions the fast corsa infront, and misha just went "hold my beer".
Wow that corsa was fast as hell!
So many epic videos recently with really cool cars, thank you misha and much love from the uk ❤

Loved the video and the Corsa cameo! Small hot hatches can be so much fun!
Always enjoy some Clio love on the channel Misha! 🙌
A corsa B and a clio splitting everyone else lunch xD Good to see
Corsa C bud
Yeeewww! Took my 182 there in May, absolute blast. They're unbelievably fun cars.
They are!!! I had one 8 years ago and it never failed to put a smile on my face...... now in a 197 and it does the exact same 😃
"DUI cupholders" 😂😂 Yeah that's one way to describe them Misha 😂😂
😂
Hahaha they work though

Really, really, really miss my Clio. The long stroke F4R is such a workhorse 👍
"Probably modified" is an understatement for that Corsa xD Fun car, i hope to one day see you lap a R19 Williams 🤩
R19 Williams ? F7r engine?
Great cars! I did 4 trips in mine years ago. Had cams, Jenvey Throttle Bodies etc. Definitely surprised a lot of people
Super sympa ce petit tour en RS clio 👍🏁🚙
Mid-life crisis, when a person doesn't know who he is or what he is. I'll open your eyes, you're a favorite TH-camr and a bit of a driver... ;-)
Let's be honest...I love a hot hatch, but the Corsa was the highlight of this video😂
I would like to see another video with that flying Corsa
You know i've always had a soft spot for these little 182 Clio's. Really cool hot hatch for the time!
Misha your so cool, never break a sweat unless your hitting 120mph on bends
I love the footwork !
Absolutely love hearing the limiter when you doing a run. Excellent driving Misha
Such an underrated car. Love a good hot hatch!
Suspension seems good and well setup; high cornering speeds, yet compliant. Tires began to smear towards the end, which is to be expected for normal summer tires. Oh, and I like the sound :)
Your videos are fun
Watch them every day
Man, that Corsa wasn't hanging about haha!
oeeehhh the perfect downshift at 6:02 must've felt so good!
Awesome little hot hatch screamer !
Could add air ducts for the brakes, cooling could make em a bit better
Es war eine schöne Runde, 11:46 Redline 😄 , wie ein kleiner Unfug🥳, aber unterhaltsam. Danke Misha
Endless brake fluid is a good choice for your brake system !.
Still supporting each day!
can someone explain why he is stabbing the throttle at 10:20 , is it to do with lift off oversteer? any clarification would be appreciated

I think it’s just cause the clio has open diff it will spin up if too much throttle
Fantastic little car
3:25 😂 he’s not wrong, that ABS on my 182 had primitive technology feel to it also
sounds fantastic
The renault clio mk2 is to me the best choice for anyone that wants a quality track car without spending a fortune
Wish they sold those here in the states, I would totally buy one.
Wish I had my '85 GTS Corolla LB back.....with the TRD kit on it and a set of 16" R compound tires on it ......yeah. that was a FUN car....
25 year rule for them in the not too distant future, if that's a thing with cars from the UK anyway. Might even be able to get a ph1 already, I know a guy in Canada has imported a few mk2 sports, their rule is 20 years I believe.
We got 'em in Mexico tho.
Nice lap, looked like a lot of fun to drive the RS. Great NA sound also!
looked like it was a riot to drive, nice
Cool little B road ripper 💙💙💙
Misha when you're going around some corners, why do you go on and off the throttle quickly?
10:18
I have a 182 but don't use this technique and I'm curious as to why you do it!
Misha I have been trying to Heel and Toe like you for a couple weeks now with no success 😅... Thank you for overtaking the Corsa GSI 😂
Yassss another clioyooo, cant wait to come out its happening next year now 🤣😂🤷♂️😎💪👌 goes well
You know what would be cool Mischa? Some sort of tips and tricks/ do's and don'ts for fast driving under different weather conditions.
Couldn't you get that Corsa for a lap? 😆 Thank you very much for the videos! 👍
My favourite video ❤, I'm biased as I miss my clio 182, such an epic car!
misha=Quite good everyone else-amazing
Hey that's the same as my Clio, racing blue represent!
Still an amaizing hothatch
Can you make some tutorials how work with gas, break, clutch pedals and others related to racing and fast drive :) Great driving skills! ;)
yea @mgcharoudin , you seem to quite stab the accelerator without upsetting balance of grip, how do you do that? Keen to see some vids on driving technique in FWD, what to do when things are about to go wrong, etc.

Can someone explain to me why, he "for the lack of a better word" blips the trottle at times during a corner?
I can only assume he is doing it to revmatch before a down shift, but no clue.
Got a MK2 myself. Great cars extremely fun. Only hated by people who never drove one
Love it 😍 awesome
Looks a good handling car with good grip
They are known for it in whole Europe.
Pilot Sport 3's are the most up to date Michelins available in the stock 205/45/16 size but you can still get them brand new :(
Great video and great cars! 😎 Even better when they're K-Swapped too 😋💙

Love these cleo videos.... I am building a 1.5 yaris and going for 2300LBs and 230hp... Cleo's are not really available in the US.
😂😂 the owners smirk when he took the megane
Love the corsa
ok, i need a guide on how to make those cup holders
That Corsa deserves a lap with Misha!!
hot hatch? automatic thumbs up!
After 8 years owning one, I was thinking to sell it, might just have changed my mind.
I know anything is not going to be as fun.
0:12 "in the beninging" vibes
Like people usually say, opel is not for the corners cause don't steer 😂 and this corsa is like "hold my beer"
I see u today at devil's Diner. Want to talk with u but u go asap in a BMW and drive away. Maybe next time, we're leaving tomorrow.
Love the Clio and the French emotions. I got a C2 VTS so much fun :D
what a drive!
Renault love ❤️Dacia next pleas
He puts on Michelin Sport 3 because in Europe there isn't Michelin Sport 4 or 5 tires in 15".
Those cupholders are total guff man
I really miss my Clio 182

Nankang NS2R and Yokohama AD08R should be ok outside the track aswell
@@Silldro - unfortunately only A048 and A052 are available in my size
Misha, you are a savage driver, and you think that the Clio is her Porsche 😂✈️✨!!!,
Ph1 172 and Ph2 182 now done
Just the Ph2 172, Ph2 182 Trophy, Ph1 V6 230 and Ph2 V6 255 to go now lol
Still need to do a Williams Clio i guess... 👍
Woah im early, love u Misha!
Just better tyres and it would be 👌
we should get a crowd fund together for a rode wireless go 2 for Misha and his guests :)
If possible we need a gopro outside the cars front wheels
Uwuuu NLS 5 next Saturday ! Do you know if the camp sites are opens ? I cant find an info about that.
Yeeeee frenchies fwd cars lessgooo
Should be
