    KTR Clio drops a rod.

    Mint video, love the following cars losing it in the oil slick!

    This is what happened

    The video looks a lot worse than it actually was and we are working to get the car ready for FCS.

    At least we cannot be accused of testing our cars properly

    hmm, apparently you need solid mounts with a sequential box, what's the possibility that he's using 'uprated' Kangoo ones?

    I bet it's got an "uprated" tubular manifold.
